Postal Clerk, J Rosa
Terminal Naval Post Office, 1973 - 1975
josephrasa@yahoo.com
Great Site! Originally off the USS Prairie AD 15 headed towards Japan, 1973. The ship encountered problems and headed for the P.I. On route, ships Capt, received message that Terminal Post office on the base needed some deck hands, guess who got lucky out of about 1000 men? any way, I lived on the the Island 2 years or so and made a bum out of myself. shacked up with a girl I meet in Olongapo by the name of Fanny Oro! she was a very attractive P.I. woman. For those that were there I send my regards. some times I look back and its hard to believe that I was really there. I was in the E.M. Club when the 4 tops were performing and the bottles started to fly. Any body out there remember that?

Bill Taylo, 1964
btaylor59@bellsouth.net
Name is Bill Taylor. I was an AN working V-1 Division Fly 3 aboard the USS Constellation CVA-64 during WesPac 64. Subic Bay was our home port what few times we got to port. Before WesPac was over I made AE-3 and went to V-6. I remember well the cattle trailer rides to the main gate from Cubi Point. Packed in like animals. By the time we got thru the main gate we musta smelled like cattle also. The Island Bar was my home in Olongopo when I could get off the ship. The one Peso San Miguel was great along with the Monkey meat on a stick. Don't know what that really was but it was good. Got to go to Grande Island one time for a division party. Don't remember getting back to the ship that night. It was hot, humid and the beer was free. There was 3 or 4 of us that started walking around Grande Island. All of us tried to walk to the little island off Grande Island. One bud and I made it. Wasn't able to walk the entire distance tho had to swim part of it. Next day found out my tennis shoes were torn up from the coral. You have a great web site. I found it by accident and really enjoy it and the pics.

My name is Ronald Baluch, and I was stationed at US Naval Hopsital, Subic Bay, PI from January of 70 through August of 71. Back then, I was a DT3, and I was working in the Dental Dept. with Dr. Sugg and Dr. Tooker, and mostly in the OR with Dr. Sugg doing surgeries daily. I'm looking for anyone who might remember me, or some of the people who were so important to us back then. If anyone knows anything of any of our crew from there, please contact me. I'd love to hear from all of you.

socrates50@sc.rr.com
Just spoke to a friend I was stationed with on the N.O. whom I had not spoken to for over twenty years, and he gave me the website. What a memory jogger! I too was but a young 18 years old the first time I flew into Cubi on the Agana C-121 Super Connie as a crew member, and was to return there many times both on the Connie and later on the ship. What fond memories; the cold San Miguel, the young nubile girls, and all of the sights and sounds of a truly unbelievable place. I have told acquaintances about it, but none of them believe that a place could be so decadent. If any of you out there remember me drop me a line and I gladly correspond in return.

I was fortunate to have had my first duty station be at Subic Bay. I was there right up to the time that the base closed. In fact, I was one of the side-boys at the closing ceremony. At the time, I was a YNSN, working in the Administration Department. My main duty there was to process command sponsorship packages for those sailors w/ non-US dependents who needed to be sponsored on to their next duty station. I was 19 years old at the time and had seen on a personal level all of the headache and hastle that these sailors had to go through to get their family sponsored. For the ten months that I was there, I had more than my fair share of fun out in town; although, after a while, hearing the phrase, "Me love you long time," just wasn't doing anything for me.

dlstorie@centurytel.net
Wow what a website. Brings back plenty of memories from the younger days and WESTPACing it. I was a bit older when I hit NAS Cubi that first time. I was on my second sea tour (if P-3s can be sea duty-YES!) a previous deployment/det to Cubi my 1st tour was ruined thanks to the Iranian conflict in 1979. Changed a bunch of schedules. Anyway thanks to AT1 Louis Wright, IS1 Cliff Delude, and AT1 Steve Johnson of my squadron who watched over me the 1st night out. J Cliff was later my best man when I married my wife. While there I explored all over the place – Balanga, Angeles City, Manila, Corrigador. At Corrigador I was able to visit places where a cousin had been captured by the Japanese during the war. When in Manila I stayed in the same hotel that an uncle of mine, a career army officer, had stayed before the war. From one of my adventures I still have a small scar on my back when I got cut during a robbery in Manila. Who can forget tryke races on the way to the Barrio, or sharing a seat on the Victory Liner with a small hog or fighting rooster? The food, the people, the smells of the market place. When ever I look at a battered jeep I think of the many colorful jeepnies I rode in. Of course I watch the opening scene of “Officer and a Gentleman” just to see familiar sites of Magsaysay and Gordon Avenue Cyndi Bar, T’s Tavern, FTN Bar, and others are all memories now. The family and I hope to return one day and walk to markets and places we did many years ago. Thanks again for the memories.

mgregghead@msn.com
After three port visits to Subic, in 1987 (reporting to the ship from duty in Korea, and after an approximate two-week wait), and '88 and '89 aboard the USS Constellation during WESTPAC, I finally received the dream orders of a lifetime. Those three years were the best time of my life, but also the saddest as I left there just two weeks prior to the base closing. Had the base not closed I probably would still be on active duty, as I would've gone back there several times for port calls and might have even had the opportunity to be stationed there again. Anyway, I would like to hear from anybody who might remember me.

I visited the Subic Bay Naval Base 4 times during my two overseas deployments on the USS Truxtun CGN-35, in 1986 and 1988. The people I met and the good times I had comprise some of my fondest memories. I also experienced some excitement. I was on base the day Marcos fled the country in February 1986. We were restricted from leaving the base. Seeing as how it was my first visit to PI and I was eager to meet the beautiful women I had heard so much about, I was naturally disappointed. However, subsequent visits were superb. My only regret is that I did not marry one of the girls I met in Subic City. God bless you all and good luck getting back to PI if that is your wish.

Hello to all former shipmates and to those of us lucky to have been “STATION DITTO”. I frequent this site often and I am surprised not to find any postings for 2006 so that means I can be first. Let me say again that this is a great site, hats off to the webmaster. I will be sending some photos and items of memorabilia to be added to this site and I hope that everyone with any items will do likewise. I am still seeking info on any former AFP’s out there for the possibility of a reunion. I had accumulated several names and addresses of former AFP’s but lost the info to a computer virus so if you read this please send me your info name, address, email address and phone #. I would like to see where everyone is located and then try to make it as convenient as possible for people to attend. My personal choice of a location would be Las Vegas or San Diego I left PI in July 0f 81 and have not returned since then, however my wife’s family is having a reunion in 2007 and we are planning to go. I am anxious to see the Subic Bay Freeport and how it has changed. As a crew member of the Constellation we hung out in the “Teen High” club as did almost all V-4 carrier crew members those were some good times. As a “Station Ditto” my favorite hangout was the “Genesis” club because of the “Frictions” band but of course I made the rounds and don’t think I missed a bar anywhere in Olongapo, Baretto or Subic City. I had a live in girl friend her name was Enriquetta Isabelita Balicano y Panlilio, her brother played the drums in the “Tip-Top” band which also played at the Genesis club. We lived on st street in New Banacain. I don’t know what happened to her I continued to correspond with her after I left because we were going to get married but she did not respond. If anyone knows her I hope she did well, tell her I said hello and that I miss her mother who I thought of as a good friend. Once again great site webmaster keep up the good work.

I visit this site a couple of times a year, great work! I was at Cubi Point for two cruises, 1969-1970 & 1970-1971 with VF-211, CAG-21 aboard the USS Hancock CVA-19. I left Cubi for discharge in February, 1971. I am interested in hearing from anyone in VF-211 or civilians I knew on or off base during those time periods. I would love to share/trade what photos I have. I have scanned them so they are emailable. After my Navy enlistment expired, I enlisted in the Army National Guard & retired as a First Sergeant (E-8). I have also retired from the local phone company (SNET) and currently drive a school bus while I wait for my wife of 35 years to retire. We are going to move to eastern North Carolina (one hour south of Norfolk, VA) soon. Hope to hear from you.

My name is Wayne Shipman, ADC USN Retired. I am trying to pin down an aircraft crash incident that occurred in 1967 The A?C was an A-4B from VSF 3, attached to the USS Intrepid CVS 11. The nearest dates that I can provide are as follows: In-port, Subic Bay 15 Jun 1967 – 18 Jun 1967, 7 Sep 1967 – 12 Sep 1967, 27 Nov 1967 – 30 Nov 1967 Whenever we were to leave the line, the air wing would fly off a day before we entered port. This particular A/C experienced a malfunction, with the pilot having to eject, and the A/C was subsequently a total loss. Any info you could provide would be helpful

Nice to see this website. I was recruited in Subic Class A Station on March 1975. I was then stationed at NAS Cubi Point from May 1979 till February 1981. I had wonderful time working at Bldg 8149 and the main Supply Bldg 8047. I still remember working with these great office mates Lita Rodriguez, Mercy, Mary Pugay and more I can barely remember. I got married and went back to the states and then was stationed again in Clark AFB on August 1988 to August 1991 untill the Pinatubo eruption. It is really sad to see these places gone. Nice....Nice...memories. If anyone can still remember me, drop me a line. I am already retired from the Navy but I decided to sail again to see places so I joined the MSC. I am currently stationed aboard the USS Mount Whitney (LCC/JCC-20) homeported in Gaeta, Italy.

Great Site... Does anybody remember a small mysterious looking building along the road from Cubi Naval Air Station to Jungle General? There was a sign outside of the building (yellow if I remember) showing a hand with five playing cards (I believe they were all jacks). One of the five jacks was unsuited and the jack's eye showed a winking motion leaving you the idea of deception. My dad claims it was some kind of Navy Psy Ops/ Intel hush-hush outfit. If you remember the sign or the building please e-mail me. Thanks

Hope this site still up, spent last few hours Googling and found a picture of me and "Rosie" and "VD" getting "out-blasted" by the Marines in a basketball game, the picture says 1969, but think it must have 1968. Brought back great memories, even if a bit difficult to see myself again as a skinny 18 year-old. Am still loading ships, but now grain not ammunition. Lost most of my memorabilia, so sites like this are really appreciated. Thanks

harrisR@co.kings.ca.us
I was stationed at the Subic Branch Medical Clinic from Nov 1989 - Apr 1992. This by far was the greatest duty station I had. It is really had to tell people about Subic Bay unless they lived it like I did. I made some life long freinds over there. My best friend was HM3 Joseph Johnson. We became really tight. We would run the streets of Olongago, Barrio, Subic City. I really fell in love with every thing about the Phillippines, the people, the place, everything and not to mention my wife Linda who I met while I was stationed over there. I would love to hear from anyone who was stationed with me. Take care.

I was a Boilerman Petty Officer 3rd Class aboard the USS Ramsey, FFG-2. I was in Subic Bay aboard the Ramsey from Nov 1980-Mar 1981. During this time we went to other ports of the orient but were based in Subic. A small group of us partied at The Blow Heaven Bar in Subic City. Like many sailors experiencing Subic for the first time, it was great! I loved everything about it there, but of course I realize memories from 26 yrs ago can make it better. Anyway if anyone off the Ramsey reads this I hope you had a good memory of this too and HI and hope your doing well.

This is a great website. Thanks for putting it together. My name is Barry Elmore. I was a sonar tech. stationed aboard the USS Rodney M. Davis (FFG-60) in Yokosuka, Japan from 1986-1990. We made several trips to PI during that time. I will never forget my first visit. I had heard all the sea stories about PI from all the old timers before I got there but they all seemed to good to be true. Boy was I in for a surprise!!!! I remember walking off the ship with a friend around 4:00 p.m. after we had just come off a 6 month deployment in the Persian Gulf. I was real excited and nervous being a newbie. We exchanged our money at a place just before you leave the base. I think the exchange rate at the time was 22 pesos to 1 dollar. I will never forget walking across shit river for the first time and going down Magsaysay. The first bar we hit was Slims. We walked in the door and it took a minute or so for my eyes to adjust to the darkness from coming from outside. As I stood by the door this very good looking girl comes up to me a starts rubbing her ass on my crotch. I knew then I was in heaven and all the stories I had heard were true. You can never understand until you have been there. I visited several bars but one of my favorite was Slims. I remember one girl at slims who had the biggest tits of any Pilipino girl I ever saw. I also remember the jeepney rides from Olongapo to Subic City. It seems like it was supposed to take about 25 minuets but there was usually some sailor or marine who would give the driver a extra few pesos to pass everything on the road and get there faster. I remember the road was in bad shape and narrow which made for some interesting and scary rides. Some of my best times were had in PI. The Philippines will always have a special place in my heart. Oh to be young again sitting in Slims with a pitcher of mojo or bullfrog with a beautiful girl sitting next to me. Can I buy your bar fine?

Hello to all my buddies and shipmates, especially from there in PI. PI was the best choice I ever made (it was either that or separate and return to civilian life). Even through all the adversity (i.e. base closures due to coup attempts, Pinatubo, restrictions, etc.), I had the best time of my life during those three years. The worst time, though, was when I had to leave (which was two weeks before the final U.S. pull-out). I was there a couple years ago (10-11/2004), and plan on getting back there again by 2014 (but hopefully sooner). I sure would like to hear from anyone who might know me or just wants to say "hi" and share their experience(s). 'Bye for now.

Hello shipmates. Stumbled across this site while researching a VA claim. It has reinvigorated my memory and brought back some scenes of my very distant youth. Thanks for the memories. Was wondering if anyone else from the Hospital remembers an incident in which we cared for some burned sailors and brought in a dialisys machine from Japan to try and get these guys ready to be evaced to the states. I would sure like to know the app. time and the ships name those men came from. Anyway, thanks for the attempt to get us in touch with one another. Doc Don

I will make this short. At the young age of 22, I set foot on this Island. Looking back, it is one big blur. The Sub I was serving on pulled in for about two weeks, and yes indeed, I too allowed my heart to be taken by one of these beautiful Island Girls. I have retired from the Navy and now work for ITT Technical Institute here in Everett Washington. The few nights that I experienced there in the middle of it all, will forever be locked away in my memory. May my children never inquire about this part of my young life. This was the time when I could go all day and party all night and next morning be standing tall at quarters on the pier. Allow me to thank you for all your work maintaining this website.

William L. Krumpelman II, PHC/DV, 1983 - 1985
Ship Repair Facility, Diving Locker
Bill.Krumpelman@aaae.org
I really look back at some interesting times back in Subic, first while making stops between 1981-1982 onboard the USS Blue Ridge. Then after completing dive school, being stationed at the diving locker. Learned some great things while stationed there and made some lifelong friends and made some wonderful memories. I took many pictures, but I would have to see if I still have them, after all my travels and moves. The dive locker was a great gig to work for. I miss the beautiful scenery and the magnificent sunsets. Of course always the Ice Cold San Miguel beer. Maybe someday, I will be able to go back for a trip. Forgot the name of the Older Filipino man that worked in our shop……cleaning everything, doing our laundry, making sure our refrigerator was full and shining our boots. I appreciate all that he did for us.

Back in 1981 I was a refer engineer for MSC aboard the USNS Mispillion operating out of Subic and my roomate, a pumpman by the name of Mel Henline, owned the Chapparal bar as well as another rock and roll club that his wife ran. Old Mel was quit a salt and I was wondering if you might have any info on what might have become of him.

Cargo Handling Battalion-2

Just for fun, I went to Goole and typed CHB-2 and got your web site. I found no earlier dates posted then mind so I thought I would make a contact. I had served for two years in WWII and when I got out of the service, I used the GI bill and went to college. I joint the Naval reserve to help supplement my income as many of us did at that time. Well, the Korean war started and I was called back into Navy and served 2 more years. We started the Cargo Handling Battalion CHB-2 at the Oakland Naval Supply Center in Oakland, CA. During this time, we trade CHB-4, 6 and 8 and I have often wondered what happen to the Battalions, and just out of not having anything else to do, I found someone listed in your web site who was in CHB-2 in more recent years. I would like to hear from anyone with more information. Apparently, and from some of the dates listed, CHB-2 must have moved from the Oakland base to Subic Bay. By the way, I was at Sasabo and Subic bay and other ports around Japan on board the ship USS Volance AKA 9 in 1945 just when WWII ended. This will be interesting just to hear from someone.
