Yeah i lost all the pics from Korea that i had, In the last year ive been to Japan(stationed there), Hong Kong, Macau, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, East Timor, Australia, and Korea... Most of those ports where in a 3 month port visit like staying 23 days in Australia. Perks of a flagship i guess.

Nice, I have the same shell back printout, I have the gold sticker too, just haven't put it on the printout.
Was this part of a MEU?

I went on the 15th meu and ended up going to the same exact places cept, japan & macau. Did go to dubai, bahrain, kuwait and jordan though.

There have been many times I wished I was stationed in mainland Japan as opposed to Okinawa....just so many more options available. I've been many of those places too, just costs me a plane ticket. :shrug:

Thanks so much for posting those photos. They instantly brought back memories of when I was in the Navy and our carrier docked in Yokosuka. So many absolutely wonderful memories from visits to Japan (including Sasebo and Tokyo). One of the best filet mignon dinners I ever had was at the base restaurant in Yokosuka. Not sure if it's even still there. :thumbsup:
