I suppose it could be considered medical and then you could always call in advance and have an appointment!!!

We actually had one of our female NCO's ask if it was alright for her to still keep her nail appointment at COCO's. Then got pissed when they wouldnt let her go.

I'd like to believe all of this, but I'm getting different stories from a bunch of different people.

[DoctorP]

DocP was stopped at the gate this morning and asked if he was aware of the "period of reflection" and that he couldn't PT off base or walk his dog outside the gates. He verified that it is indeed ok to walk his dog since he lives off base, but to use common sense.

[socalheart]

Why should us Americans be on lock down, what about when a Japanese person does something to an American, do we lock down all of America? Rape, drugs, violence is everywhere, it just doesnt happen in Japan. If this Marine was in Korea or Germany I believe he would of done the same thing, he is just a perv. He should be on the MSNBC Investigates where they catch the child pervs because thats what he is in my book. Japanese people have to much trust in everyone, maybe they should start raising thier kids different and tell them not to trust anyone at any time!!

Here I sit reflecting on the fact I retire 30 Jun!

The thing is, we are guests here in Japan. So anything we do will be blown way out of proportion. It will alwasy be like that, as it should be.

Raise their kids different? Why is that? Becuase you believe they're being raised incorrectly? Why is the Japanese way so wrong? What makes your way of raising kids the correct way to raise kids? Statements like this piss me off. It's in the same boat as those certain individuals who complain about a cashier who doesn't speak english OFF BASE.

Why should another country change their culture or way of life just becuase you believe it to be "wrong"?

[IndyGal]

Oh I am reflecting. :-|

My hubby is a Marine (which I think most might already know) and is in Korea right now. I was just thinking of what a "bad" boy he is (you know because he is a Marine) and how I will have to punish him when he gets back!

If you are reading this honey, prepare to be "locked down" when you get home. \:-):72:

I am not sure if fur-lined handcuffs count as being locked down or not...

[Just VP]

I agree...I have been a bad boy. I can't wait for my punishment! :thumbup: <3
