I guess only us Marines admit to riding around on the USS San Bernardino. I got stuck on that rust bucket 4 times, but she took me to some pretty good places. LOL
I was there in 1980 also. I remember the Apple Rck , Mojo, Monkey Meat & San Miguel. I thank God Aids wasn't around back then. Or if it was, thank god for taking care of dumb asses like me.
One of the first things they told us "don't play cards out in town." Yea right. Of course me and one of my buds did. I lost a seiko watch and he lost his camera. Too funny now that I look back, although it wasn't too funny at the time. USMC 1978. Great people in the Phillipines. Beautiful country.
was there MSSG-37 31 MAU out of hawaii 1908-1982 .those times were great. have been back since. last year aug 2010 walked the streets and felt the ghosts of days gone by. still a great place to vacation and party.
@richart58 31st MAU? were you there when we went down from somalia, I think, to labanon after 1/8. That was late 83 I think though. Great to hear people talk about the places and things nobody else understands. Great times.
yes i was there, miss the good times with my Marine wingmen and navy folk. i still go back everyyear on my vacation break. i have a filippina girlfriend. i work as a contractor in the middle-east
U.S.S. Wabash AOR-5... I was there between 1978/82, two Westpac cruises. Some if the best times of my life. Noni, I still miss you. This is Butch, find me.
