All are welcome to join this group!

I just thought there should be a place anyone who served at any time at any command could go and throw out a thought, ask a question or gripe!

  • met my very first true love there in subic...second one in Yokosuka,then Kobe!...What a way to spend your time...AND MONEY!!

  • Subic was good liberty, my first time there was in 82, by then they had sidewalks and paved streets. My two main hangouts were the VFW on Magsaisai (probably misspelled) and Sunny's New Place on Gordon - Gordon was the 1st left out of the main gate and it was on the left about 2 blocks up - San Miguel what a brewsky!

  • I was on the APL 29 for about 7 days back in '57  in Subic Bay...don't remember if it even had a name....Subic was good though

  • Hello Shipmates.

    Service was from 1971 until 1983. 

     

     

  • HAS ANYONE ON HERE BEEN QUARTERED ON THE APL46 ON THE SUMIDA RIVER IN TOKYO JAPAN IN THE 1950'S.?

  • I wonder if they conducted an investigation into the faulty decon sensors, perhaps someone was gundecking their PMS checks.

  • Yeah, Jim.  That is an OLD show!  That sextant has been around a while now.  Whoever bought has no idea or care about Hector.  They just wanted the sextant for it being a sextant.

  • Hey Dave! I just saw an edition of "Pawn Stars" where a vet brought in a sextant from the "Hector"!

  • On that note .........

    I was going to change the pic on this page. But ..... can't figure that one out!

    So, I will just post the seasonal one here and wish all my(our) shipmates and friends a very Merry Christmas!

  • The Ronnie Raygun is a nuke carrier.  It would have dosimeters on a lot of crewmen and testing going on all around the whole boat.  Even I know about dosimeters and I was on an old WWII Repair ship.

I'm wondering if we can use this forum and not have people get lost!

I have been informed by our CO, Mr Karr that these forums may work a little better than the "comments" section. So, I am going to try an experiment and see if we can do some house cleaning in this command! Excuse me! Sorry, I meant swab the deck!Somehow the comments have reversed themselves and the most recent comments show up at the end instead of the beginning.We have to be supportive of Doug these days as the site seems to be experiencing a growth spurt, which is good!
