anyone have any info on Kanagawa and specifically Sagamihara?
I am guessing that our friend will have an issue with entering Tokyo, due to Covid restrictions. Unless I miss my guess, he’s inbound military.Your best bet for action is to take the train to Tokyo.
Actually, his sig line says prior military but now a contractor.I am guessing that our friend will have an issue with entering Tokyo, due to Covid restrictions. Unless I miss my guess, he’s inbound military.

Interesting, not showing on mobile.
Can confirm; doesn't show up in Android but computer is OK.
Display issues aside, civilian contractors have the same restrictions as active duty personnel, unfortunately.Actually, his sig line says prior military but now a contractor.
Sorry about that, sig lines on TAG are not displayed on smaller screens to save display real estate.Display issues aside, civilian contractors have the same restrictions as active duty personnel, unfortunately.
Currently off limits to SOFA personnel. As is metro Nagoya (no loss), and the fun parts of Yokohama.just suck it up and catch the train to Tokyo

Just curious, how would they recognize SOFA personnel? Or is it more of a risk thing, in case you're stopped by a cop and asked for ID and don't have the proper forms?
It must be the horny stoned look in their eyes. Though at least the guys I have talked to were not willing to take the odd chance being caught and send back to the states with the next plane.
If something happens that ends up with police or emergency services interaction, the base is contacted, and in the case of contractors, they're terminated and sent back to the USA, and placed on the DoD blacklist for future employment. In the case of active duty personnel, there's a range of disciplinary actions in play, up to and including a DD.Just curious, how would they recognize SOFA personnel?

Five years in SK active duty now a contractor in Kanagawa? Sounds like former Army, now working the civilian side with a gig in Zama. I've got a number of friends doing that very same thing right now. Shit, I had relatives there 75 years ago in the intel business (for America, I should add).
OP, first off, don't go looking for P4P opportunities near base. For that matter, don't look for any opportunities. It won't end well. Trust me. As other have pointed out, just suck it up and catch the train to Tokyo. Do your homework here and make a day trip, or even an overnight trip, out of it. You'll probably hear that there are opportunities with the gaijin fan crowd near base, and I've known a number of opportunist skanks who work in service industry jobs in nearby areas like Chigasaki and Yokosuka (they like to work at Costco, FYI) hoping to hop on a white/black/brown dick and score a green card stateside but those girls are usually fundamentally damaged and you don't want to dip your wick that close to base.
Keep it dirty and keep it in Tokyo. You're so close to the promised land...no need to risk your security clearance when anonymous ass can be had just an hour away. Besides, you'll get tired of Kanagawa quicker than you might imagine.

The risk of getting caught is low, but the consequences are exceedingly high.
