The beatings will continue……

Until morale improves:

CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa — The commander of U.S. Forces Japan says curfew and alcohol restrictions, imposed on servicemembers around the country following a spate of off-base crime and misbehavior last year, may be permanent.

Lt. Gen. Sam Angelella told Stars and Stripes during an interview Thursday he is not considering any changes to a ban on all off-base drinking from midnight to 5 a.m. and a late-night curfew for troops ranked E-5 and below at bases across mainland Japan.

However, stricter alcohol policies for Okinawa-based servicemembers may someday be eased to match the rules on the mainland, he said.

Yea, keep treating your  Sailors like children-and then be shocked, SHOCKED, when they don't respond as advertised.

“Right now, I don’t have any plans to change the liberty policy throughout the rest of Japan. I think we’ve got it about right,” Angelella said during a visit to Okinawa. “I see it as more of an inconvenience to our young servicemembers rather than a real crisis for them.”

Right……………………………………………..

Like the last round of curfews and liberty cards worked so well.

Clearly you have never been single in Japan.

On the plus side-this is good news for the liquor stores, real estate agents renting off base apartments, travel agents selling tickets to Thailand…………
