Thanks for the memories. I was stationed there in 1974-76 and it was generally considered the best duty station on the east coast. They called it a dream-station. I worked in fuels on the runway refueling the A-4's of VC-8 and transient aircraft. My division had a pig roast every month on that same beach. Always had plenty of dates because the women weren't assigned to ships at the time and that base had 6 women for evey guy there. Heaven on earth.
Wow, I haven't seen all hands beach in 35 years. I was stationed there in 74-76 and it was generally considered the best duty on the east coast. The base itself was gorgeous. I was in fuels and worked on the runway refueing the base birds (VC-8) and tons of transient aircraft. Also, the women weren't assigned to ships at the time so there were thousands of women, and relatively few guys. My division roasted a pig on that beach nearly every Sunday. Thanks for the memories.
The Muñiz Air base ANG (located at LMM Int'l airport SJU) is moving to Roosey sooner or later. The airport at the base is operational (Jose Aponte de la Torre airport). The plans calls for the reopen of the piers (ferries to Vieques and Culebra) Puerto Rico Ports Authority. Homeland Sec. is on site too.....
I was over at Roosey Roads last month and it sure has changed since it was closed.
The golf course, if I didn't know better I wouldn't know it was there, nothing tall grass now.
It's strange to see an empty airfield, the docks, commisary,and exchage look like ghost town. but they built brand new Marine barrack why? don't know. Other than the romor mill says that the Air Force and Homeland Security are looking at the base hummmmm.
I used to live in puerto rico- back in the 70's(dad was stationed there.) . I know it's closed now as a base...but can "anyone" get on it now? I am not military.
Wow what used to be all hands beach, haven't seen that beach in over 10 years. wonder why they took the booths out. Well anyways great to take a trip down memory lane, thanks man
Hi there. You recognized it, too. You're right, that is All Hands Beach. I just shook my head in amazement over the ability of the internet, 'cause that is also Camp Moscrip where I was stationed as a Seabee and I haven't seen it in over 13 years. Good memories of Roosey Roads. Good deployment site. BU2 '93-'98. Go Navy.
All Hands Beach!! Ahh good times i was there frm 1999-2001 I was like 9 when we got there frm norfolk. You even got the little island in the background. I really miss it too bad they shut her down, because of Viequez, and life in the civilian world is sooo different not one NEX even close to houston, utter crap. Well c'ya I don't if you knew my dad but it sure seemed like everyone knew him. GM1 Farrell AKA Tango

Yeah sure, they close Roosevelt Naval base, but keep GITMO open. How much sense does that make?!
