Nearly died. Food at Kamiseya was excellent. Wish I had gotten to spend more time in Japan. I brought my wife's lasagna to work one night and the guys all loved it. Canibalized a piece of equipment (a no-no) to keep FOSIF running and got a commendation for it.

The CT3, being curious, looked at the photos. The photos showed a female Dutch national, a civilian and the Ens in the pictures, of the Top Secret office. Entrance to the area required 2 people with keys and the respective safe combinations, to make entry. The Ensign was the only Officer and Naval Personnel, shown in the photos.But...in the background,on the black board were notations of Top Secret publications. This material was given to the NSA,on base, and in a very short time, top Brass showed up on base and conducted an investigation of the situation. I was called as a witness and ordered to not discuss the matter with anyone. I am very curious as to what the outcome of the investigation was.,Anyone out there have any idea? I was transferred. While at Taichikawa AFB waiting for a flight to the States, I ran into an Officer I served with, in Seattle, and he told me he heard of the matter but that was all he could say. 8/23/2015 1.FullName: Gary Walter Thomas 2.NickName: 3.ArriveDate: Sept. 1964 4.DepartDate: May 1967 5.RateRating: CTR3 6.Duty: KamiSeya 7.Email: gwtmst@comcast.net 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 9.Comments: Basic R Branch Class Chief Welch at Corry; Advanced GySgt Wood-graduated August 1964., TAD to Guam Dec. 1965 7/27/2015 1.FullName: James J Haag 2.NickName: JJ 3.ArriveDate: June 1968 4.DepartDate: June 1970 5.RateRating: CTT2 6.Duty: KamiSeya 7.Email: jjhaag@meltel.net 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 9.Comments: 6/25/2015 1.FullName: Eddie Lee Roberts 2.NickName: Ed 3.ArriveDate: August 1964 4.DepartDate: August 1966 5.RateRating: CTR3 6.Duty: KamiSeya 7.Email: roberts.ed59@gmail.com 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 9.Comments: I have many memories of Kamiseya, the Zebra Club and Chinatown.

The investigation concerned a compromise of Top Secret information. A contingent of top ranking Naval Officers: Admirals and Captains who flew in from D.C. conducted the hearing. Bradley had photographed the inside of the office area which had Top Secret info on a blackboard. He also took a Dutch national (maybe his wife)and a third party,a male, into the restricted area. Every communication info used by the fleet was in that restricted area. He had the film developed at the Base PX.,My question is, what happened as a result of the investigation/hearing. It was a hush-hush event, but I figure it was 55 years ago, and I would like to get some answers. My e-mail is: dijack8@hotmail.com.

Teachers were the dept. head Madam Chien?, Ma Chen, Lao Li, Shin Li and Taiwan Li. Three months after arriving at Kami they desperately needed A branchers at Hakata, so Ben Pressell and I were dispatched for the remainder of my tour. I was at Imperial Beach school in 1960, Chiefs Dunn and Poff my instructors. Only got to work as a linguist for one month at Hakata when Jim Plum took leave. Bopped ditties the rest of the time. We were so overworked. Swing, Day, Grave, 32 hours off for over 20 months. We were tired and sleepy the whole tour. Can't remember the Lieutenant's name but Chief Theodore Ted Mara was the top enlisted. Great guy. Had lots of really good friends there, Doc Palm, Freddy Poteet, Jerry Fuller, (he and I shared an Air Force bungalow after we made 2nd class) Danny McDaniels, Augie Jeffers, so many more. Loved the beach at Shikanoshima and the base beach, the sights and sounds of Fukuoka, the EM club where some of the guys got together and formed a band and you could buy clothing at the club from Hong Kong Tailor's rep, or jewelry from a young lady from a store in Fukuoka.

IT'S GOOD TO HEAR ABOUT ALL THE EXPEIENCES OF THE SAILORS THROUH OUT THE YEARS. THERE ARE SOME ERRORS ON SOME OF THE BLOGS ABOUT KAMI SEYA. IT WAS NOT AN AIR BASE. IT WAS ON HWY 16 ABOUT FOUR MILES BEFORE GETTING TO ATSUGI NAVAL AIR STATION. THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 1300 MEN INCLUDING ONE DETACHMENT OF MARINES AND NON CT PERSONEL. THE ONLY TUNNEL I KNEW OF WAS THE WORKING AREA FOR THE CT'S. IT WAS TWO STORIES HIGH WITH ONE ENTRANCE AND WASN'T REALLY A TUNNEL. ALL ABOVE GROUND. I NEVER HEARD OF ANY TUNNELS FROM THE BASE TO YOKOHAMA. SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO ME ALTHOUGH THERE WERE LOTS OF TUNNELS BETWEEN YOKOHAMA AND YOKOSUKA. THE BASE CHOW HALL WAS THE BEST IN THE FAR EAST AND PROBABLY THE WHOLE NAVY. THERE WAS SOME HOUSING ON THE BASE BUT LIMITED TO OFFICERS AND CAREER SAILORS WITH THEIR FAMILIES. THERE WAS A SERVICE CLUB IN DOWNTOWN YOKOHAMA FOR MILITARY AND THEIR GUESTS. GREAT FACILITIES., THE NAVY EXCHANGE WAS ACROSS FROM AREA 1. BILL CHICKERING THEATER, COMMISARY BOWLING ALLEY, GAS STATION WITH 10 CENT GAS, AND MUCH MORE.,I HAD A 1047 BUICK WHICH WAS SOLD TO THE NEXT GUY FOR $175. HEARD HE WRECKED IT LATER. HAD A GREAT TIME SEEING THE SIGHTS WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER. ,COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I MAY BORE YOU. THANKS AGAIN OR THE GREAT SITE. REGARDS TO EVERYONE.

The time at KamiSeya (57-59) was for growing and experimenting and I did a lot of that while in Japan. If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing--If there is anyone out there still alive and kicking and served and worked in the "Tunnel" and partied in China Town during that time-- please e-mail me so we can talk about our experiences. Hopefully, we hoisted a few together while on liberty.,Thanks---Gabe 7/26/2012 1.FullName: jeff lyon 2.NickName: 3.ArriveDate: 1968ish 4.DepartDate: 1970 5.RateRating: CTR-2 6.Duty: KamiSeya 7.Email: lyon97@comcast.net 8.OnLineRoster: Yes 9.Comments: Great memories.
