My second tour in the Navy was quite different than my first.
Since I was somewhat fluent in Japanese, I was transferred to the USS Duncan (DDR-874)] homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. We made port calls all over the Western Pacific including the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Korea, and I made a side trip to Macau. This allowed for a fair amount of "in port time", and I was able to spend time traveling around Japan, making friends and learning the various Japanese styles of bondage. (I find it interesting that although we did a fair amount of bondage, we never used the title, "Shibari".)
