"Well, I can honestly say, that flag wasn't flying when I was stationed there. Too bad. That would have been a real Kodak moment to send back home to the family. I loved it there and didn't want to leave."
"Unfortunately, my ex has all my pics from Japan. I have no contact with him, so I have no way of getting them. : ("
"GREAT!! I can't wait to see it. I certainly hope the bra and skivvies were "worthy " of flying atop the flagpole. I could see the flagpole in front of the hospital from my barracks room. Sometimes I would stay with a friend who had an apartment off…"
"oes anyone remeber the Philadelphia Naval Hospital. Now it's a parking lot. Very sad."
"I worked in L&D from 1984-1986, then moved to the pediatric clinic. I LOVED Japan, and feel very blessed to be staioned there. Took me 3 times to get to the top of Mt. Fuji, but I was determined to conquer it. Seeing the picture brings back memories."

I will find the picture and post it :) I was there for 2 years, there were a few who found a place off-base and extended their tour. I LOVED it there, I lived off-base myself, had a car and even a bicycle for touring the back country!
Wow, been a year, totally lost track of this ... So, you were at Yokusuka? I suppose the bra and skivvies we hoisted up the hospital flagpole were removed by the time you got there ...
