Comments on: Yokosuka CHU-HI Stand Off Limits http://fewl.net/2008/07/02/yokosuka-chu-hi-stand-off-limits/ Just another Navy guy living in Japan...

We could have ten of them, and they'd all be the chu-hi stand. Taliban taco isn't really named Taliban taco, but ask anyone where it is and voila. Welcome to the world of simple Sailors and their jargon. Thanks for the clarification. Jessica: It’s a stand that serves chu-his, thus it’s called the Chu-hi Stand.

It's not. It was opened the Summer of 2006. The one and only chuhai stand is, as you probably know, located around the corner by Hideyoshi and his family. People need to relax around there anyway. Although I'm one of the Americans that aren't screaming to converse, I can still see the other side which is that he's closed before the 10pm noise-complaint cut-off, (last call is 8:50 I think?) and it's freaking downtown Yokosuka for crying outloud! Anyway, cheers! **This Ain’t the Chuhai Stand***

They're cheaper, safer, and you're only surrounded by your friends rather than a bunch of drunk assholes you don't know and don't want to know. Am I just getting old?

It's funny how when we SOFA folks go out we all stick out like a sore thumb, even though we're told to blend in and not draw attention to ourselves. I'm sure you've seen the AFN propaganda. No matter what, we will stand out and make a scene. Perhaps my wording was a bit harsh but I still think this photo exemplifies what <strong>not</strong> to do, not so much as "What not to Wear". :-) Spendthrift, I was just making an off the cuff remark…as I often do.

Spare me. Here's the thing, a few sailors ruined it for WHO? for a guy who is trying to run a bar. The Navy just cut off his clientele because apparently he couldn't babysit everybody who showed up. Sailors? they can go drink someplace else. There's no shortage. But it's always somebody else who has to take action, isn't it? Because the peeps who go there can't control themselves.

Isn't it a violation of some CFAY reg. that you can't have an "open alcohol container" in public? Bottom line - the owner has to enclose his bar to keep the noise down, change clientelle, or shut it down. Rumor has it that people standing Shore Patrol got sick of baby-sitting this dump, used their chain of commands, and got leadership involved (finally). Good call Capt Weed!
