I have mentioned before the need for the Air Station to consistently engage in good public relations. It was no surprise then, that when I had the chance, I jumped on the chance to dance the Kachachi in the Ginowan festival.
It's the Okinawan version of the Horah, a dance performed at any celebration.
We had 3 senseis who were old enough to be my grandmothers and they moved with such grace and 
fluidity. 
I was even more proud of my 20 Marines who volunteered to learn the dance. It took us 2 weeks but we did well. 
The local newspaper ran  a small story about us.
Sgt, me and Cpl
The individual competition. 
Some of the student teams had a theme. 
BZ, Marines!
