    I survied 2 years there.  One long party 1966 to 1968 4 pesos to the dollar. I can remember days when we had to get back to the base and get us some rest, and back out there the next night, if we only had a dollar in our pockets we could have a good time.

    @John they (the Ranger) tore Olongapo up,the first problem was at the taxi stand at the water front,they started fighting over the cabs to the main gate!Then for 2 days more bar fights then ever before out in Olongapo,finally the Admiral Kicked the Ranger out!! I was stationed there then and remember how sour some bars where after she left.

    @ Kevin

    Yes I was.  The good part was that once pulled into Subic, the next day I met my wife and first daughter at the Manila airport and I went on leave down south in PI and met Rnager on the pieer in North Island.

Subic/Olongapo 1990-91

I'm doing some research and would appreciate feedback from those who were station dito at Cubi or SRF in 1990-91. Personally, I was there in the early 80's so much of my recollection is irrelevant for what I am looking for.  1. Bars and hotelsWhat memorable bars and hotels were around at that time?

He is Japanese American and he runs a company making solenoids.There is almost nothing in Olongapo proper that is fun entertainment wise.Barrio Barretto still has many bars,…
