Overseas near/on any military installation it'll be on AFN (9 times out of 10) they usually don't play the weaker games, ULL, North Tex, Vandy etc but we get the majority of the conference games for LSU over here on Okinawa

I get the random Florida fan or Bama fan trying to give me shite when I wear my LSU golf shirt to work. I just make sure to make them wait till last to be waited on

You probably mean october, if it was in september you could catch the ULaLa game on the 19th. Will probably be a blowout, but my family will still be there. Tiger football is Tiger football.

Nothing like following the wife around. Mine followed me around long enough for me to retire and her get a monthly check. I was told that is how it is supposed to be so no griping.

Are you coming home for a while in between assignments? Gotta catch a game and eat some mudbugs if you do.

to you and your wife. Thanks for the sacrafices.

yeah, we're gonna do our COT travel in November, we're gonna head to Hawaii for 12 days so I can get some much needed Golf in and she can get some quality time by the pool then we're gonna hit Keesler (mississippi) for a few days to visit some friends from here who just PCS'ed there and I'm gonna head down to Baton Rouge around the 19th and unfortunately they won't be playing at home against Ole Miss that weekend so I may try to scalp some tickets in Mississippi to catch another game before we head back to Philly then off to Turkey.

My only real requirement when we hit BR is to head to Raising Cane's! :nana:

Are there any WWII monuments, museums or preserved battlefields in Okinawa? I'd love to see that place. Hugh Marines/Japanese battle there.

as mentioned earlier... peace park is the main one. there is also Himeyuri Monument and the former underground Navy HQ.

There are tons of tunnels here. There's also a former military hospital cave underneath the 10th hole at the banyan tree golf course here on Kadena.

Are you going to be stationed in Incirlik?

---

yes, unfortunately

I always fly mine, there are a lot of SEC fans here on Okinawa and maybe 10% are LSU fans. So I always make sure to let them know that we're here on the island and who they need to bow down to when we pass by :bow:
