Japan is a cushy posting.
I would have loved deployment there, but nooooo I have to spend all my time in ***Ing Georgia!
I was stationed in Hawaii but my battalion used to rotate companies to Japan for six month deployments. I pretty much struck gold in where I got stationed. I was one of three people that got stationed in Hawaii, all the rest got sent to units in the middle of the Mohave Desert. (29 Palms)

Yeah well, I mean at least I got stationed at home ya know? The 3rd is at Stewart but even so, only having crap postings drifting from Stewart to Campbell, to that craphole in the wall at Hawthorne was garbage, it beat Iraq but not by much. At least there you can get cheap cigarettes and don't have mosquitoes that are the size of house cats most of the time(I think I saw three my entire first deployment there)
Its always possible that the LI could end up there. The brig tends to house military people who did stupid **** off duty.
I had a friend go to the brig for a month once for taking a humvee without permission and being U.A. (unauthorized absence) for two weeks in Australia with some local girl he met.
Later while being restricted to base awaiting Court Martial he snuck out off the barracks, and showed up in some bar in Tokyo where half the platoon was drinking. We tried to usher him out and warn him that the Lieutenant was there, but he strolled right up to the bar and offered to buy him a drink. Not sure if his Tokyo antics got tacked on to his charges, but it gives an idea of the sort of characters that usually populate brigs.
A prison ship? Why not a galley then instead of a brig?
