I was on the last ship out of Subic Bay when we closed the base. A ship left with the last of the Marines and the Flag, and the next day we left towing the last fuel barge. I was 9 miles away from Mount Pinatubo when it errupted.
I truly enjoyed the whole 20 years and highly recommend it.
Thank you all for your service!
I need to thank you all for your service over the years. I remember, at age seven, on a Sunday Morning, hearing the radio news break report of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I was recovering from a near end of life illness at the time and when the draft got to me at the time of the Korean War I was declared unfit by the army doctors. Despite the worst that military service and war can do to a person I truly feel that I would have benefited greatly from a stint in the military. Again, heartfelt thanks to all of you that have, and are serving this and any country's armed forces.
My Dad was a few years younger than you, and was a bit to young for Korea. He was married with 4 children when Vietnam came along. He was damn proud to have 3 of us kids serve, 2 of us 20+ years
Many years back, I took my family into a hundred year old merchantile in my dad's home town. Richard has reminded me of the words of the proprietor, an old lady in her 90's !Quote:

Was the "Dixie Club" still downtown when you were at Stanley?
It's been a while but I don't remember that one. I only remember the 'rainbow club' as I DJ'ed at that one for a while. There were a ton of clubs though of course :) My first taste at gambling was in euijongbu, Korea. When and where were you there?Quote:

Loved my flight engineers on my previous airframe, hopefully they keep you guys around. It sounds like you won't see the end of the career field before you get out/retire though!Quote:
