Unusual view of the Navy/Marine barracks on Torii Station.

CDAA - Hanza, Okinawa 1968

Third floor rooms at the end nearest the Chapel; probably taken in mid 1966.

Inside of squad bay. This was probably taken in early '66. All of us E-3's and below lived on the first floor nearest the main gate. It was almost like living in the barracks at ETA school on Treasure Island. As soon as you made E-4 you got a room upstairs.

Locker in barracks. This is what I lived out of for about 10 months while I was in the squad bay. This was probably taken in late 1965.

Lyn & I on boat to Ie Shima. My friend Jim Fitzharris took this photo my wife, Lyn and I when a bunch of us went to see where Ernie Pyle died during WWII.

My bunk barracks Okinawa. These were the rooms you got after you made E-4. Real luxury, huh? Taken mid 1966.

Okinawa - Manzamo. On the way to Nago. We used to do a lot of SCUBA diving here. Taken summer 1968.
