n this base about everything, but especially people (including myself). I think if I could go back in time, this would be one of the times I went to. I loved traveling to London and going to the local towns. The feeling of history in England and Europe wraps you like a warm blanket. That isn't to say I was never cold because English winters will chill you to the bone like nowhere else I've ever been. Sitting in an old pub in front of the fire though will warm you back up. I loved movie theaters in England most I'd say. New Years Eve in London is one of the most memorable things I've ever done. From Pope, I went to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Italy, and the Azores (Portugal). I hated this base. There were some good people, but management sucked. This base eventually ended my military career. We spent a lot of time in Las Vegas, Louisiana, and Kentucky. I only saw Northern Japan and Tokyo while I was at Misawa. This was a fantastic base. I wish I’d gone here instead of Pope. I do miss Japan and I’d go back again given the chance. I went to Alaska strangely enough, and that eventually led me to where I am now. Japan was a major transition point in my life and I couldn't have asked for a better place to go through it.
