- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- This is FGO base housing in the Plaza neighborhood on Camp Foster in Okinawa, Japan. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and it is around 1,400 sq ft based on the floorplan I was given. These houses are managed by the Air Force (not privatized) and were built in the 1960s.
I use to live in Okinawa as a kid from 1971-73 and that home look pretty similar to my home. What I remember most was the very very large green grasshoppers, the poping pod plants, typhoons condition one, my mom killing the lizards with a broom, boiling water in your bathtub spam and rice, Hamburger Helper and Ultraman.
Sounds very familiar to me, I was there in 1968-69, I remember the condition 1 typhoons. Do you remember that tall Arm forces radio television tower?
We were there on Makiminato housing area between 12-77- to 12-80.I remember the typhoon telethons and Kiddie Kapers. Lets not forget Soupy Sails.
My father was a navy chaplain and we lived on plaza 85-88. Houses were spartan, but we never had any typhoon damage. Plaza was a great place as a kid.
Be cool if you did a follow up on after you got your furniture. I’m an air force brat who used to live in Oki. I always like looking at these home videos. It reminds me of my childhood. Lol.
I will! It’s been slow moving in. Our stuff took 3 months to arrive, and then we had a new baby 3 weeks after that and life has been chaotic, but I’ll post an updated video soon.
That would be awesome and congrats on your newborn! 😊
Thank you so much for posting this. I lived in this housing complex when I was very young. It brings back so many memories.
I wish my husband would get stationed in Japan I love Japanese food and the people.❤
We were there on Makiminato housing area between 12-77- to 12-80. I remember the typhoon telethons and Kiddie Kapers. Lets not forget Soupy Sails. Lupin The third and my favorite show was a Japanese show about high school girls Volley Ball . There was also a Japanese show about a mischievous male teen. Thank you so much for posting this video It brings back fond memories.
We lived in a house like that at Sebille Manor in Kadena Air Base when I was stationed there from 1999 to 2000.
Station there 93-96 still look the same. I enjoyed it!
omg we lived in a 3 bedroom just like that on kadena circle when we lived in Okinawa in the late 60s to 75 when we left
Looks like we were there same time. I was an Army brat
Thank you for posting the video and the tour of housing. I wonder what the square footage is within the home you displayed. We’re headed there next year and will likely have to store most of our stuff. Thank you again!
The inside is approximately 1,400 sq feet. The bedroom sizes are ok but the bathrooms, kitchen and living room are all pretty tiny.
The comments are so cool seeing how different generations grew up here.
Plaza was always all officer housing from inception till? Yes the AF owns ALL housing on Okinawa.THey really upgraded the floors from the old days (sixties and seventies) I lived on okinawa for 16 years and go back each year at least once. Am always amazed how some not this lady but many complain about the housing... buckup buttercups your in the military this home would cost you 3000.00 if you had to rent it and that's without the maintenance and such. The Furniture is a big upgrade from the "early GI" look we all lived with back in the day... and we were happy for it.
We could have rented a home off base and the homes off base are really nice. However, we decided to sacrifice ‘nice’ for a big yard and a neighborhood setting.
We lived on the Plaza in the late 70's. Dad was not an officer. I do not believe our friend's fathers were either. At least the ones that lived around us.
I don’t get why they force single folks to move off base entirely. I had a 3bd, 2bt, garage, and frYard, bkYard at my last last base and something like that I’d be perfectly fine with.
We will be there next month!
Lived in a duplex there on Foster in 1994. Great memories.
All of our furniture was government issued on Okinawa 1954-1957 Army brat, Sukiran housing. Long time ago. No shipping of your furniture back then, you got what the government issued, rattan furniture mostly. Three bedroom, one bath..concrete floors (easy to sweep out the typhoon water!). Yep, a long time ago….
Look like it still is.
Hey, Do you know 4171 is. I used to live there
Will you be able to tour the Camp Foster SNCO housing? Thank you in advance
I’m sorry- I just saw this. I do not know anyone in that housing to have access, but the Okinawa Military Family Housing Facebook page has photos and video walkthroughs of the housing layouts now.
Looks the same as it did in 1991 and 92 Camp Fosters and Camp Lester
I miss Oki
I'm so incredibly glad I never had to live in any housing on base. They're... not good.
Definitely not nice! We did love our base house in Hawaii though, so they aren’t all bad.
Why does this look like my old house I lived in. I lived in 4064 plaza housing and I swear that looks like the same house I lived in 😂
Looks like the one I lived in at 4171
I was 4066!! But 1985-87 🤭😂
This is 4066 😊
@@kateray3834 so this should be next door to my old house then ?
@@IamGaby Yes - 4064 is my next door neighbor.
Is this only for officers? We are family of 6 and my husband is E-6. We will be moving there by August. I'm so worried that our stuff and my family won't fit in 4 bedrooms housing on base.
Yes- this one is designated for officers. The bedrooms in this house are a bit larger than other 4 bedrooms I’ve seen but the kitchen and living room are a bit smaller. This house is about 1400 sq feet. I would plan on around 1200 sq ft. The houses are definitely small. We ended up making one room a playroom with toys and a TV and they share a room to sleep.
I remember a cousin staying with us which made us 6. My brothers had their own room and we girls shared a room.
Like ours at Machinato❤
Where? Kadena ? Fasima? Shields?
Plaza is part of Camp Foster.
Thatsmy mom❤❤
I’m sorry if I missed it but is this Camp Hansen ?
Camp Foster Plaza Housing
@@kateray3834 thank you . My son is in Hansen . I recently found out there is no housing in Hansen. They did talk about maybe moving his location of work or a commute. Can you give me any insight on something like that I am a little nervous
Can deployed civilians stay here or is this just for military only?
Only for military. To my knowledge, civilians stay off base but get a nice housing allowance.
@@kateray3834 Thank you!
Which base is this?
Kadena i guess.
It’s the Plaza neighborhood on Foster
