I am to sleepy to think of a title

I am so sleepy, but I had to keep you posted on what I did today. Well from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM I sat in a theatre for base orientation. We were told to behave in Japan and told stories of how soliders had killed various people around Yokosuka. Last March, some 22 year old stabbed a Japanese cab driver in the neck. So for America and the Navy, I will not kill anyone while I am in Japan. For lunch, I had Subway. I don't know what i will do since I do not like the cheese or mayo here. It just tastes wrong. However, I told myself you must venture out for dinner. So I went with my coworker and now friend since I started talking about poo with her hehe to another rotating sushi restaurant. It was a little more upscale than my first one. I tried the egg on top of the rice delicious. I tried some more raw fish and I have to say my chopstick skills are improving. Also, today I learned how to say shrimp and see you later in japanese. However, I have no idea how to spell them so when I see you I will just have to tell you. Tommorrow, is another fun filled day of orientation, but on Thursday we are expected to use the train and go on a field trip on our own. I am thinking Tokyo Disneyland!!!!

The problem of US soldiers committing crimes against locals without being subjected to the local justice system is a common source of resentment among the many many many sovereign nations where we garrison troops.

Try not to kill anyone.... or wear "G style" in the wrong bar... whatever that means.

We ordered sushi last night from Hoshun. We ate it with our hands, though.

See you later, shrimp.
