  I remember that long bus ride from Clark AFB too. I landed at Clark in the afternoon on a Boeing 707, (1969). Before that we had landed on Wake Island to refuel. Had to. Almost out of gas. While there I changed into Whites. I was also wearing Blues from Travis AFB.
  The first thing I noticed at Clark was the instant humidity that rushed into the 707 when they open the doors. And I felt it on my skin as we debarked from the plane. Our school bus was painted Navy grey lol! Maybe that wasn't such a good idea considering the Huks. No mesh on the windows but we had a Filipino guard with a shotgun on board. I think there must have been maybe a dozen of us, (variety of ratings), all with orders to Subic. That was one long and sometimes bumpy ride. I some how managed to fall asleep, (jet lag catching up). It was late that night when we arrived at some perimeter gate and were boarded by armed Marines with flash lights looking us over and checking IDs. We were finally allowed through. Spent that night on some transient barracks barge at some dock. What a trip.

  I wasn't stationed ther, but spent alot of time while on inport time. Was attached to AE's, AOE's and AFS's 71-73. HC-3 detachments doing vert-reps with ships off Vietnam. First det, we flew into Clark AFB. Couldn't get a helo ride down to Subic so had to ride a school bus down. Wire mesh over the windows had us worried. They said it will keep "Hucks" from tossing in handgernades. Bad roads and we were in our blues.(uniform of the day for San Fransisco airport.
  Spent many a nite and some days in Olongapo.
