A Japanese Mitsubishi F-2 fighter at MCAS Iwakuni. Recently, the JSDF, US Marine Corps, and USAF hosted a special Friendship Day, which is a cultural event offering airshows, tours of vehicles, fun activities, and great food! I enjoyed getting a close look at some of the latest and greatest military aircraft. The F-2 pictured is a unique Japanese take on the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon with an even larger airframe and the iconic teal-blue paint. - - - - - #自衛隊 #mitsubishi #三菱重工 #mitsubishif2 #jsdf #岩国市 #iwakuni #mcasiwakuni #山口県岩国市 #fighterjet #sonyalpha #fukuoka_camera #travelphotography #seattlephotographer #usmarinecorps (at MCAS Iwakuni, Yamaguchi, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrcwngTPFdz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SPECIFIC DATA

SUMMARY

Jackie was born and grew up in an inland slum of Acapulco. In 1977, shortly after she received a stolen pair of leather boots as a gift from her father, he, her mother, and her younger brother were all killed. Although the proximate cause of this was her father being engaged with fencing goods on the black market, the actual reason was that he’d stolen goods from a local organized gang.

The sole survivor, she would soon after apply for asylum in the United States, and would ultimately be accepted in 1978. Sent to live with relatives in Houston, Texas, she had difficulty making friends and fitting in, and her Fullbring powers developed during this time. While she naturalized in 1983, she never felt she fit in. Immediately after graduating high school in 1987, she joined the United States Marine Corps on a 6-year contract with Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 4300, Basic Combat Correspondent, and was sent for the then-standard 10 weeks of boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, California. She next went to Camp Pendleton, California for Marine Combat Training, and Fort Meade, Maryland for her MOS school. Finally, she transferred to her first base at MCAS Iwakuni in Japan.

Jackie found the USMC suited her little better than life in Texas had, although she quickly gained an appreciation for Japan itself. She completed a bachelor’s degree on base through testing and in-class instruction and was honorably discharged as a Sergeant (E-5) in 1993. Having encountered and befriended bōsōzoku during her military service due to her penchant for motorcycle riding, and having been offered employment by more well-to-do members who used the activity to blow off steam, she applied for a work visa and took up one of the offers. She worked as a kind of novelty bartender (and bouncer) first in Hiroshima and then later in Osaka. Her fairly rudimentary knowledge of the USMC’s LINE close-quarters combat system developed extensively in this period and she also took up Karate.

In 1998, after completing her five-year work visa, she applied for and was granted permanent residency with eleven years spent in Japan. It was the year after that when she first met Ginjō Kūgo and joined Xcution. After their defeat by Ichigo in 2003 and losing her Fullbring, Dirty Boots (albeit not her Fullbringer powers as she still retained her Soul King shard) she worked for herself until early 2004, when she was brought onboard Y. Hans Enterprises. Officially their Public Relations Executive, in truth she fulfilled Yukio’s desire to look after Fullbringers at large and was the point woman for locating them and providing aid and assistance—saving them the way she herself wished she had been saved.

She kept this up off and on through 2018, when leads began to dry up, and then shifted her role to being Y. Hans Enterprises’ liaison to Karakura. As part of that role, she has occasionally interacted with the Urahara Shōten and occasionally works part-time with Shihōin Yoruichi’s PHANTOM detective agency.

I was bored last week so I started cooking an idea.

Tailoring & Targeting is intended to be a story about a Marine Aviator—2LT Jesse Kohl—Stationed at MCAS Iwakuni in Japan, who randomly encounters a now College Sophomore/Influencer Marin Kitagawa. Within days it's a matter of balancing emerging careers with an ever-increasingly serious relationship.
