By MATTHEW M. BURKE AND AYA ICHIHASHI | STARS AND STRIPES Published: December 15, 2020 CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa Local authorities on Okinawa turned to the Marine Corps this week to address a recurring problem: Marines and alcohol sometimes don’t mix. Japan sent representatives from national and prefectural offices to Camp Foster for an “unofficial opinion exchange” on Monday with Marine Corps Installations Pacific. The subject was a recent spike in incidents, apparently fueled by booze, that ended with Marines under arrest. Not all alcohol-related incidents linked to the U.S. military on Okinawa involved Marines, but they account for their share. In November, the Okinawa Times newspaper reported 10 incidents involving alcohol and U.S. service members. Half involved Marines, three involved airmen and two involved Army troops. Eight were cases of drunken driving.
