"Welcome home Chief.. I live in Royal and was in 68-72. NAS Cubi/ then the Connie CVA-64.."
"More than likely with 24 on 72 off duty. We were the last hut on the flight line just up from the swim beach. Big yellow JP-5 fuel trucks..lol"
"Darrell, I'm just outside of Hot Springs in Royal. Maybe we can meet up sometime over a cup and swap some lies.lol"
"Adrian. update on the mudslide.. It happened on a Tuesday Sept 4, 1970.. Hope to have more later."
"Wow, seems like inflation has caught up. While I was there in 69' it was seven to one. If ya had a hundred bill you could get ten to one around the corner to the right after crossing over shite bridge. Had a great dude for exchange. Never got any…"
"Anyone ever go over to Continental City and hang? One of my buddies got plastered and tried to ride an old sow out back in the pen. She like to have tore his shoulder off before he could get out. He failed to share our humor after he crawled out of…"

"Yep, that was the one, and for this country boy it was a culture shock when we landed in Clark then rode the bus to Subic."
"We may have been on the same flight in 69'. Sounded exactly like what I felt that same year."
"Adrian, thank you.. I was regaining to think I had dreamed all this shit up. The friggin VA is giving me fits over this because I can't come up with the dates and the one shipmate who worked with me and was there with me when we were digging and…"
"David, I was in v4 fuels at Cubi. Was you there when the mudslide buried the Ops building on the flight line?"
"I am looking for anyone stationed at Cubi or Subic that remembers the mudslide that buried the Operations Buildings at Cubi Point in 1970 or maybe 1969. Also the F-4 that flamed out and crashed on the mountain below the O club. I was in V4 fuels."

HI DAN
WELL WE MIGHT HAVE CROSSED PATHS AT SUBIC BAY WAY STATION AT PORT SERVIVES DOWN BY THE CUBI BULKHEAD.I WAS THERE FROM 68/69
Welcome aboard Dan. Are you referring to that long flight from Travis to the PI? The one with nothing to do during the flight but sit, eat, sleep, and go to the head? Not necessarily in that order? I was lucky. I had a window seat and could stare at the sky and ocean for hours! LOL!
Thanks for the LOX... I had a place in Olongapo for most of my 2 yrs. there. 60 pesos a month, so I just traded my monthly ration of 2 cartons of cigarettes for the rent. They loved Salems over there, and I didn't smoke.
I don't remember it. I was almost all of '70 and '71. The parachute loft was just down the street from the OPS bldg. I think.
No Dan I was at the avaition refuel as a refuel truck driver in 1962-1964. We were located on the Seaplane Ramp wher we kept the trucks and slept during our shifts. I don't remember exactly which barracks we lived in on the hill, but I do remember it was quite close to the swimming pool and gym where I spent much of my time. That is with the exception of the many, many hours I spent in town and at Paradice Beach out by Subic City. I was 19-20 years old back then and after finding out what the draw was about Olongapo and the villiages I made it my goal in life to drink in every bar in Olongapo. I think I failed in my quest. they kept building bars and adding hostess that I wanted to sample too. I am sorry I cannot be of any help in your desire for information in ther '70's. In '68-'70 I was back in Subic as a EN2 working at the Provost Marshall's Department running the PBR's in Harbor Patrol. I would think the F4 flaming out happened after I left in '70. Do you have any photos from your tour over there? It would be appreciated if you could post them on this site for everybody to enjoy.
