"Effective immediately, sailors are prohibited from drinking alcohol, on and off base. Additionally, all off-base liberty will be curtailed," a statement from the 7th Fleet and U.S. Naval Forces Japan said Monday.
Apparently, too many drunken sailors are getting into trouble in Japan.....
Gee, I wonder if the CG of III MEF will feel pressured to place the same restrictions on the Marines on Okinawa...? Their behavior also has a poor history.
Man, no drinking on-base means Friday-night happy-hour at the O-Club won't be as lively. And with no off-base liberty.....?? That won't last long because too many Japanese businesses will begin to suffer from lost sales. The shops along Gate 2 Street outside Kadena Air Base on Okinawa would immediately wither without the support of good old GI Joe.
