Wow. Reading all these posts really brought back the good ole memories. This one really hit home. I forgot about the long hours we worked [67-69]. It sure made our one day off that much more valuable. My biggest memories from that time regard working town patrol, the bars in angeles, the King riots, looking for intruders, working the main gate and finding all sorts of stolen stuff "hidden" in cars, bagio, manilla, hanging with the PC's, watching movies at the outdoor theater in the rain with temp being 90, and of course water buffalos. Who could ever forget the water buffalos. Working the ERT with the .30 cal machine gun we never even test fired was always a good job. Gen B O Davis was the Base commander back then.
Anybody remember the airmans club happy hour...2 drinks for a quarter. plus the three bands that would perform in one night. I saw roger miller perform at the airmans club. Oh also was on a honor guard for bob hope and raquel welch. I wish i could remember the names of the guys I worked with.
Anybody remember the subic bay ammo run? That was always wild.
