Greetings from Japan

[Bushido Devil Dog]

I've been lurking for a couple months now, I figured it was time for me to finally sound off and introduce myself. As you should surmise from my handle and this thread's title, I am a former Marine (Sgt., MOS 2841; 1988-1993 Active, 1996-1998 Reserves), student of the Warrior arts of Japan, and resident of the same for the past 10 years. Born in Indianapolis, I try to get (everyone sing along!) "back home again...in Indiana..." about once a year or so, the last time being back in June. Naturally I spend quality time on the range whenever I go back.

I work in Tokyo and train in Iaido ---- Suimokai ---- and Aikido, since I can't bring my guns here to shoot...


Anyway, greetings to all ...and if anyone has any questions about Japan, I'll be glad to give my ...

Greetings from Fishers. I spent two weeks in Kyushu several years ago. Much of the time was spent in Fukuoka but I got to travel to other parts of the island. I'd like to get back to Japan some day. I enjoyed my time there!

to the site! Japan? Awesome!

My daughter was dating a fellow who was a Japanese language major. When she brought him to meet us I let him know that I had studied up and found that "daughter's new boyfriend" translated to "baka yarou" and asked if he minded if that's what I called him. Very awkward silence.

(I loved it)

すげぇじゃん...面白い！~=> Sweet! Did you also make him aware of your possession of a collection firearms , a shovel, and a big backyard?


Haven't been to Kyushu yet, Fenway, but that may change in the near future. I have a friend that just got a job offer in Fukuoka, so that will be a reason to finally go and check out that part of the country.
