I was there in the early 90s for the NCO Academy.
Base seemed like a decent place.
About all I had time for was school, running, and massive alcohol consumption though.
Went off base maybe 3 times, and ran into a nurse I hadn't seen in years.
Interesting times...
One classmate was from Kadena, and her apartment was kinda small, and IIRC expensive.
Good luck, have fun, and thanks for your service.
