Was at the NAS Cubi Point Medical Clinic December 75 to March 1977. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.

[@johncarol548]

Oh the memories..... Had four wisdom teeth pulled and afterwards sooo much pain.. went back and of course opened mouth... Doc called for assistance.. and they ask me if I had oral sex with the girls in town... Explained as best I could.... Ended up with 120 very potent pain pills. LoL

[@davidfrancis6947]

I don't remember the paper banners in 78-79. I was Beat Charlie. Town supervisor. 7th Fleet Shore Patrol/Armed Forces Police.

[@Dean-b2f]

Hi Dave ! The banners would go up before a carier group pulled in. They would be up for a few days typically . . . I was "Beat Charlie" under MA1 Ravenscroft on the Starboard section (D.C. Bennett . . . I was also the SOCIAL DIRECTOR for Starboard Choir Practice. I'll have to post the Soc. Dir. T-shirt pic on facebook AFP group.).

[@jimfin42]

Thank you. I was on the USS Coral Sea and I made my first trip in 1976.

[@RussellGraystone]

No problem I wish I had taken more, Subic Bay was my first port visit outside of Australia, in March 1970. I was a young 16 year old Ordinary Seaman at the time. It was my first Far East Deployment, which you blokes call 'Westpac'. It was to have a profound effect upon me, and my life. I did a further 9 Far East deployments (plus a couple to the Middle East) and spent a lot of time in The PI, before, during and after the (Marcos) Martial Law era. would even fly back for my Long Leaves every year. Now I reside in Thailand. Very hard to explain Subic/Olongapo to a civvie or anyone who never experienced it. Cheers! www.gunplot.net/main/content/philippines

[@RussellGraystone]

I was there right through the 70s, including 1976, during your Bi-Centennial Celebrations. www.gunplot.net/main/content/subic-bay-when-odds-are-your-favour

Can anybody recall a guy name Tim Holmes? He was a u.s navy!

[@al-jhunvirgo2301]

Hi can we use your video for our show here in the Philippines? I would like to ask your email for us to send a letter. Thank you

[@robertnichols7251]

Did they still have the Zanza Bar or Cat West on Magsysy?

[@Dean-b2f]

The Zanzibar and Cat Walk were going strong in '78. Zanzibar was there for MANY years.@@ssingel23

[@headroomdave3468]

First time I was there 1980 uss midway apple rock club

[@KurentEweser]

When did they pave the road? It was still a muddy mess in 1974.

[@Dean-b2f]

Actually there WAS pavement under all of the mud and loose runbble! Magasay was "paved" at least twice by 1971. It was not until '74-'75 that a World Bank funded project began that produced the current road. It was quite impressive to see it going in.

USMC on the USS Kittyhawk 76-78... crazy place, wish I could remember a lot of my time there. LOL SanMiguel and MoJo

[@RussellGraystone]

Hey Ron, that's a shame, how the bloody hell could you forget it mate. Subic was my first Liberty Port outside of Australia in early March 1970. What an introduction to Asia. I was bitten by the bug at 16 Years Old. Visiting at least once every year, well into the next decade. By 1975 I was taking my Annual Leave in the PI, and would always take the Philippino Rabbit down from Manila, busing it down to Olongapo for a few days to catch up with 'Old Mates'. (when I shot this short movie actually) BTW I remember Kittyhawk very well, Cheers, Semper Fi mate.

[@ronwilson5476]

@@RussellGraystone I was joking about forgetting due to beer and mojo. Lol, I’ll never forget that place.

[@vyralproduction]

Were you in the u.s navy? Did you know a guy name Tim Holmes who’s station in the Philippines for a year in 1978?

[@lewisway6811]

@@vyralproduction Yes I was in the navy for just over 20 years, I was part of work center 110 power plants when I was in fifty. I don't recognize the name, but the squadron had over 300 enlisted, and over 100 officers. Do you know what rate and rank he was?
