nice memories, 1990, 142nd med was my first duty station, we had a fire on the top floor of that first building shown. Later in the year, our resident shoe shiner was shot in the ass accidently by a private who was cleaning his M16 in the dayroom after going to the shooting range. thanks

:-( Kinda makes me sad. I had MANY happy years living on Ft. Clayton. Lived there from '84 to'94.

Hi, I used to work at this base for several years. We had the fort Clayton and Fort Davis garages. I spent many years in California, when I got back, wanted to see the posts. The AFEES garage is gone, it was used by the Panamanian police, and my research is that in this place a hotel will take place. When I was able to go and visit the Ft. Davis place, it is like a gost place. There is nothing in there, the grass is high and seems nobody cuts it. I will take a video of these places.

Tengo una importante pregunta, la salsa que se juega al minuto 4:32 hasta 5:24, me podia decir quien es el cantante o grupo de esta tremenda salsa por favor y muchas gracias. Yo vivia en Panama en la base de Ft. Kobby y mi Tia en Farfan para la Marine del 82' hasta 85'.

Wow.. very cool. I was stationed here in 1990 with the 79th Army Band. I have wondered for years what hapened to Ft. Clayton once the canal was given back to the Panamanians. It looks similar but really different. NCO club looked the same.

[KDLUSA1]

I lived on Ft. Clayton, when I was a kid back in the 60's.. Long time ago. But it was good to see Clayton again and how it looks now.

[nadiarios13]

[shonrock1969]

Wow!!! This video brings back so many memories. I was stationed in Panama from 1990 to 1993 B. Company 193rd Spt Bn. It also served as the mess hall for 193rd. I saw it in the video. I want to go back so bad now. Thanks for posting.

[KR8TZ]

@shonrock1969 I had a homey that was in charge of the mess hall for 193rd. SSG Warren and one of the nicest guys ever worked there as well,I think his name was SGT Goodwin. I was there from 88 to 93 with 59th Engineers,Airborne!

[shonrock1969]

I've probably seen them many times in the 3 years that I was there. That was where I always ate unless I was on some detail. I also Pulled KP a couple of times there. I worked at the DSU shop in Maintenance. This Video brings back so many Memories. Ive also been to the 1, 2, 3 club a few times but spent most of my free time either In Panama City or the NCO club.

[shonrock1969]

Ill never forget when I would go to the NCO club on the first floor in the Salsa/Merengue club they had a room where they cooked Chicken and Rice and other food that Id always get to take back to the Barracks. I still tell everyone that the best Chicken and Rice that Ive ever eaten was from a little stand in Santiago, Panama.

[xcacanalera507pty]

I am still here, and its nice to see that people from all over the world continues to visit. All are welcome!!!. I cannot deny, however, the great sense of accomplishment I feel when I see just one flag flying in the PANAMANIAN air.

[high747profile]

[RiverBirch1967]

Thank you so so much for putting this video up. I too was stationed at Ft Clayton, 1988 to 1990. C Co. 5/87th Infantry (Lt.) 193rd Battalion. My wife and I are taking a cruise through the canal next year and I'm hoping to be able to get off the ship and grap a taxi just to see the old fort again.

[lmcgaugh]

[etahwilla]

Great video! I was stationed at Clayton in1955-56 and lived in the bulding described as the mess hall. Then it was home for the 7445th.

[pablohoneyme]

It looks so well kept. Must've been odd to see it all again, after so many years. Worlds away from Decatur, that's for sure. ~Kristin

[ACN4U]

Thanks for sharing your video! Great times remembered on and off post. Served with USA MEDDAC Corozal... lived in housing towards back gate of Ft. Clayton. Panama wasn't a tour of duty it was an adventure!

[bornblond9gb]

My dad was stationed at Fort Clayton in the 1970's....all this looks so familiar to me....thanks for the video....looks so deserted....kinda sad!

I tried posting but it got lost somehow. 142nd Meddac! you were my next door neighbor. Hey,remember SM Madsen? I was there from 88' to 93' I was 59th ENG Co,under Cpt Garcia I think his name was. Man,remember the red door club and the food that they used to cook up at the NCO club at the end of the night? Outside of the fighting that we had to do,it was probably one of the best times of my life. Bacchus,Patatus!! Great times man.
