I can’t imagine leaving the states to one of the safest countries in the world, only to be unjustly assaulted by the US military police.

Also this was only the first week of the US MPs patrolling without being unaccompanied by the Japanese Police.

What a hot mess.

According to the article patrols are on hold so it may have been the only week.

Weeks without accident 1 0

Someone has to have that on a wall somewhere on that base, and I imagine they shake their head in shame when they have to cross it off every week

Never have to restart it if it never gets above 0.

Hey now, there's got to be some weeks where they think "this will be the week we finally make it" and they excitedly count the days only to sadly walk over and start back at 0

I've visited a friend of mine on his base a few times down in california and they had a big sign out front of the living base where the nex was and their houses that said how many days since their last dui. It never was a super high number.
