    Welcome aboard Stephen. I was in Yoko off and on from '73-'94. Probably rubbed shoulders with you a couple of times. I occasionally visited N2 to align the TSEC/KY-3. I was the Autosevocom tech working out of NCSJ. Went to Kami also a couple of times.

    First visited Yokosuka in 67/68 on our Westpac cruise.  Then came back to Yoko  in Sep of 71 to 74 stationed at CNFJ N2, left for a brief period (18 months in Seattle) then came back to Yoko in 77 and stayed in Japan until Jun 93 (Yoko, Kami Seya, and Sasebo).
