I went in Navy at 17 in 1956, was born in the Bronx, lived in upstate NY & a few towns along the CT coast.
My count for my FIRST BI, in boot camp, in order to get in a school had me down for 19 PERMANENT addresses and some of them were duped... (I used to ‘joke’ that my old man was a step ahead of the landlord/repo man)
My clearance came through in ‘quick process’ but I did get inquiries from relatives etc that the FBI was ‘asking about me’....
Now I wonder how much ‘vetting’ etc these ‘employees’ got and how thorough a back ground investigation was carried out. (you can probably figure these clowns will claim the employees were contractors or hired by an outside firm)
Back in those days, in order to get married one needed permission (anyone under an E5 needed govt permission no matter where they were)and I did know of people that lost or were going to lose their clearance because they were going to marry a Japanese or Filipino.. Granted maybe that was just a threat to make sure some young virile lad didn’t rush into a marriage.

I entered the Marine Corps 10 years after you. I spent some time, a week or two, in Okinawa coming and going to Vietnam. Okinawa was a great place in those days. I knew a couple of guys who were stationed there, Camp Butler, married local women but were not allowed to bring them home because the military did not recognize a local marriage as legal.
