Man, all you old geezers talking about them days made me bring out my tape of a beauty contest. Remember them?
Just thought I'd share some pics from my visit to Subic. Unfortunately- no crew rest there for me, as it sounded like good times.
Uhhhh ... the guys who were there for a couple days or weeks (?) .... that's the reason the place existed, last time I checked..... I always just sit back and smile about the stories told by guys that were there for a couple days or weeks just stopping by....
Yeah thats why we were there...talk about rhetoric! or jealousy?
One reason I don't post here too often is that others tend to attack the responses of others rather than just stick to the posts.....
Jealousy?? CUBI??? Probably .... I loved it in the P.I. Still do ....
But: ... "attack"???? .... I was an attack pilot. You don't know what an "attack" is .... trust me.
Why do some people think a tongue-in-cheek comment, or a "Ready Room" retort .... is an "attack"???

BUT ... I will admit that it was INFINITELY better when the Carrier Group was out of port and you were lucky enough to be left behind to work-up and wave some USMC miscreants who were getting ready to go to the boat for the first time ... former grads of AF flight school.
