Hi everyone, I from Philly, and am stationed in Sasebo, Japan with the US Navy. I learned to ride a 24 in in middle school and rode on an off through college. Recently I became the proud owner of a Coker Big One. Though it is very different from what I learned on, I hope to become proficient enough to use it on my 4 mile commute, and perhaps bring it with me when my ship goes out.
Thank you! for serving our country, and you will love the 36er everyone does 
36ers are BIG in Japan!
Sorry couldn’t resist.
Welcome to the forums. 36ers are a lot different to ride than smaller unicycles and a whole lot of fun. Once you get the hang of the thing 4 miles won’t be enough and you will want to just cruise.
It is a great feeling getting up to a moderate speed then nearly effortlessly keeping it there. Floating over the pavement at 15 km/h (or 10mph, since yer merican)
I hope you have a long and uneventful career.
