I was A L/cpl. at Cubi Point, Separate Guard Company, AUW Platoon 1972. I really like the new web page. Good work! I would like to find a number of old freinds that I served with. I can remember names, but where do we look from there? I currently live in north central Washington State, near the Canadian border. I have worked in the explosive industry, since getting out of the Corps, and I still get a bang out of it! I may be contacted by e-mail at tech.tnt@nvinet.com or at 509-485-1924. My mailing address is Technical Explosive Consultants Inc. #8 Wakefield Lane, Oroville, Washington 98844.

Just found this website and wanted to say hello to any Marines that were with Alpha Company during the 1990-1992 time frame. Currently I'm a 2ndLT at TBS and if any body remembers Cpl Langfelt, he now is also an officer with 1st Tanks in Califorina. Is there anyway to get one of those beer wraps? T's Tavern will always be a second home.

What a shock to get your card. I served at Subic Jan 52-Jun 53. It was great to look at the 1950 pictures of Subic. Yes, what a great duty station. One that all disliked on arrival and cried upon departing. I'm going to see if I can find some of my old momentos. Names don't come rapidly but I do remember Cpl. John Borg from Indiana, a cook named Flink. GySgt Mahan. I'll give it some thought. I retired GySgt Billy D. Martin, 0848 (mos) in November of 70. I won't be able to make your Subic reunion but please keep me posted. This is a great website, you've obviously spent many hours. Thanks for all you work.

Semper Fi Fellow Jar Heads ! I just
learned of this web page the other day and have enjoyed all of
what I've found out here. I regret that I didn't
learn of it earlier or I would
have certainly made an attempt to join all of you on the
"Return to the PO Trip" next month. At nearly the
same time I'll be enjoying myself in Hawaii for 2 weeks. I'll do
my best to make the next reunion ...... especially if it's in
PI. I visited our old stomping grounds in April 95
for 3 weeks. This was my first return after leaving in
1984. I felt very strange having to visit the Quonset Hut
that I brought many a "Honeyco" to for a base pass
....TO GET A PASS FOR MYSELF ! After all, this
was my base .....our base.... well not any more guys
.....at least not for the time being. My personal feelings
are that the Philippines was foolish in their quest to rid us of
their country. Former Mayor Richard Gordon was quick
to jump on the bandwagon once he figured he could find new ways
of lining his crooked pockets once we were gone. This was a
man that was directly linked with black marketing and a
percentage of the bar businesses by NIS prior to my arrival. Once
he was named the Chairman of the SBMA, I knew what his intentions
were.
At that point I said Subic would never reach it's full potential
unless they appointed a REAL BUSINESS MAN and not this pretty boy
mobster. Enough on that for now. There wasn't a
whole lot of business going on when I visited the base in 95. A
few small smuggler ships in port and not much of anything
else. Off base was really strange. My memories of
Magsaysay were still fresh in my mind as I stared down a nearly
deserted street. Everything boarded up .... all signs
removed. Virtually no indication of the party town it
was. I found no more than 5 businesses open on
Magsaysay. Street vendors gone ..... very few people at
all. I took a trip down to the market area and found a lot
more activity ...similar to before. I actually was
able to locate only 1 vendor there that still had some old dusty
remnants of our existence. Military plaques,
engraved emblems etc. I decided to venture to the
Barrio and visit my landlord and old apartment. I
think the Barrio was hit the hardest by the volcano ....many
buildings were leveled. I also noticed some new buildings and
small hotels that charged up to $120.00 a night. Can you
believe that ! I found a hotel for P600.00 a night and
decided to stay there. The one thing I noticed was the
presence of quite a number of Europeans. Only a few of the
bars I frequented were still open and the Girls were very very
young......maybe I'm just much older. I'll save the rest of my
stories about my trip to Zamboanga City for the next reunion. In
closing, let me wish all of you a safe and enjoyable trip and
remember ...."It's still OUR base .....they just figured a
way to get it back for a while" Actually, remember the old
saying ..."Everything on this base is stolen ....they just
haven't figured a way to get it out the gate
yet" Well they did !
Take Care Marines !
P.S. If you happen to see Richard Gordon begging for pesos
outside the gate, kick him in the ass real hard once for me
.....Ok twice.....then send him for a swim.

Was not stationed in Subic but was a retired USN dependent living off base when held by U.S. Marine Guards for exiting the base after 6.00 pm. Can no longer remember what year but guess I was under 18 years old, so I would say 1970. Fun remembrance of the Gymnasium, swimming pool and Cubi Point. Lived in Olongapo City from 1963-1978. Been home again in 1982, 1987, and 1994 on vacation. Was there also on float with 2/3 in 1981, suffered heat stroke on a force march. Attended JEST school and slept on bamboo makeshift bed above ground. Learned to cook rice on bamboo from the Negritoes. Want to hear from U.S. military personnel that have crossed my path as a civilian there and as U.S. Marine.

billybc@sunlink.net
Currently Chief of Operations of the
Judge Advocates Association, the Professional Bar Association for
the Armed Forces and Veterans lawyers. If we have veterans or
dependents that need legal assistance (medical or otherwise)
contact us at "jaassn@sunlink.net".
Subic Bay brings back great memories. While stationed at Sangley
Point I travelled back and forth to Subic often. Subic had the
only rifle range and we had to take all our troops there to
qualify. I remember the monkeys that climbed on the roof of the
range storage bldg. and beat on the tim roof with rocks. What a
racket. The instructors told us they were trained to do that to
create combat type noise that would help us concentrate. When
Cubi Point officially opened Adm Radford, Chair of the Joint
Chiefs, was flying in to be the first plane to land and
officially open the field. Because the Navy feared the Air Force
they parked heavy equipment on the runway. A Marine group was
operating off the Philippines on a carrier. They painted out all
identifying numbers on a fighter except "Marines" and
flew to Cubi ahead of the Admiral, landed on the field, dodged
the heavy equipment, turned around and took off back to the
carrier. I am sure you know the stink that caused. Then there was
the visit to Subic by the CG FMFPac. He walked up to this very
tall Marine NCO and said, "Marine, are you a basketball
player?" He said, yes sir, all my life and the CG said,
"Pack your gear, your going to Hawaii with me. I need you on
my basketball team". He was a key person on the staff but it
did not seem to matter, the CO tried to protest, but he boarded
the plane with the General. Yep, Subic Marine Barracks was always
quite a place.
Congratulations on a outstanding web site webmaster. Why don't you come for a visit and overhaul ours. Seriously thinking about your trip if we can work it into our schedule conferences. SemperFi.

joseph.abdella@fmr.com
Subic Bay, ahhhhh the memories. I arrived in country and was all confused and I can thank LCpl Lona for showing me the power of the peso and the taste of San Miguel, not to mention the taste of the Filapina. Let's see some of the I'll never forget, bribing the police from Station Bravo. Wanting to throw that old guy from the Shit River Bridge. There was nothing like busting out a cherry girl. Of course upon leaving I had to resign as the mayor of Subic City. Mt. Pinatubo is a memory that I'll never be able to get rid of. Of course paying a barfine with a gallon of water from base was nice too. I'll update you on a few people I've been in contact with since leaving. Capt Ignelzi is now on Camp Lejeune with SRIG, GySgt Dan B. Lane is at Quantico ( I think), SSgt Scott A. Rybicki is on MCAS Beaufort. Sgt Lunsford ("B" Co) is a Drill Instructor on Parris Island. I worked with SSgt Rybicki and Sgt Lunsford on Parris Island where I ran the gas chamber. I'd love to hear from anyone who was there during my time. I tried to contact you LCpl Lona but mail was returned. Please try me at arthur.mahoney@fmr.com. I know where Sgt Renfrew and Cpl Gibson went but I haven't spoken to them in years. My years at Subic Bay were now and will always be the best years of my life. I'll definately join the reunion next year. Would love to hear from LCpl Schenk (Pvt Schenk), Cpl Capozzolo, LCpl O'connor, Sgt Riggins, Cpl Nolan, LCpl Garza and of course LCpl Storm.

I was stationed with HQ Company (A Co.) from Dec 75 thru Mar 77 as a Lcpl and Cpl. Stood gate duty at all three gates (especially liked Post #3 12 to 4 relief), guard relief driver, Cpl of the Guard (Starboard section 3rd squad), rode "shotgun" with Sgt of the Guard in the housing areas, and was Sergeant of the Guard (as a Cpl) for several months. Also pulled two tours at Santa Rita communications station. Participated in many jungle patrols and firing exercises in Zambales. Does anyone remember the night Steve Kirwin surprised the intruders in the Binictican housing area and shot and killed one after being attacked with a knife? Would love to hear from any old friends from those days especially Harold McColl, Kevin Donahue, Ron Cherney, Gerald VanDyne.

I was stationed with HQ Co, MARBKS Subic Bay from Dec 79 to Dec 82. During my tour I served as the Operations Production Chief and later as the Station Manager for the Far East Network - Philippines stations throughout the Philippines. I worked out of the FEN station at Clark AB but spent as much time in Subic Bay and its FEN station as I could. I have many fond memories of all the Marines, Sailors, and civilians I met and worked with during that time. My fondest memory was being promoted from GYSGT to Warrant Officer by Col. Brause and unusual reception I received when I left the barracks. I would like to hear from anyone who was there during that time frame.

Try not to hold it against me, I did my combat duty in Grenada& Beirut with E Co 2 Bn/8 Mar before transfering to the airwing. God it was nice to get back there. Something about the place gets in your blood and stays there doesn't it? I always hated standing duty on the gates, but the liberty was great, eh boys!

Great job on this Web Site....brings back
many memories! I served in the Marine Corps from
1948-1955. During Korean War I served in A-1-1 from Inchon
Invasion, through the Chosin Reservoir. Was in
"Chesty's" 1st Regiment, but our Skipper was then a
young Captain of Marines named Robert H. Barrow, USMC, who
retired as the 27th Commandant of the Marine Corps. A fine
human being, officer, and MARINE!
I spent the remainder of my career in the Navy, first as a YN,
then an NC. I visited Subic many times while serving in USS
ENTERPRISE (CVN-65), USS HANCOCK (CV-19), USS KANSAS CITY
(AOR-3), USS ARKANSAS (CGN-41), and visited both Cubi and Subic
while serving as Command Master Chief for Commander Patrol Wings,
U. S. Pacific Fleet, the P-3 Community. I retired in 1985
as C/MC in USS ARKANSAS (CGN-41). Keep up the good work,
I'll visit again!

Well, we all ignored the curfew and got ripped that night. The next day was like a circus because we were all still pretty much s_ _tfaced. It was funny because Sgt.

Bravo-Zulu for establishing this web site. Noteworthy info on present and past happenings. Keep up the good work. I'm disappointed to have missed the reunion. Wanted to go but already made a trip there the year before. Hopefully there'll be another.
I was a Sgt. when stationed at Det Guard (San Miguel). I took over the 1st Section (1st Plt if you will) after all the old timer NCOs left. We had some outstanding Marines in that Section at that time; performing their jobs superbly even after an all night or all weekend bar-hopping. I can remember running Section PT the morning after liberty and the whole formation smelled like a brewery.
I also was the first NCOIC to take the first detail to Capas, Tarlac when the call for reinforcement was announced. We were helo lifted overthere along with several base police and their guard dogs. That was before the martial law went into effect. On several occassions while conducting night patrol along the antena field, we witnessed heavy firefight between the PC (at that time) and the NPA just outside the perimeter fence. Green and red tracers would cris-cross the evening sky towards Camp O'Donnel and grenade blasts would intermittently break the staccato of automatic weapons. Kinda reminded me of my stint in Vietnam.
The last time I was in Subic while the base was still active, was in 1990. I was with 3/7 at the time and we were a part of MAGTF 4-90(?). We conducted a command exercise in San Miguel and bivouac at the last 'Receiver Site' out in the antenna fields. We received one hot meal at the existing messhall and was surprised to see one of our old houseboys has moved up to be a cook.
In the earthquake of 90, we provided search and rescue for victims at the University in Nueva Ecija. We also delivered food and medical supplies for stranded barrios along the major highway.
The last visit I had in Subic was 97.
Alot of major developments were slowly being conducted aboard the
old base. Many commercial firms had taken up some of the
warehouses that were still intact after Pinatubo. The hustle and
bustle that we were use to seeing in the old days no longer
exists but I understand pedestrian traffic at the main gate is
just as heavy this days after working hours. The old "----
River" no longer smelled as bad and there's hardly any
sewage or trash floating --- big improvement. Olongapo is a
little cleaner along the main drag
but if you wonder along the back roads and alleys, still the
same. Majority of the clubs have closed but the girlie
entertainment seems to have shifted into Barrio Barreto.
Would like to hear from fellow Marines from Det Guard (71-73). The wife and I will be returning to the Subic area in 2000 to retire for good. So if you can't reach me here today, look for me there next year.
Semper Fi to all!! JH

Cpl. Clark, A Co, Jul89 - Feb92
Roo23joey@aol.com
Known as Cpl. Clark with A Co July'89-Feb90 and HQ Plt until Feb'92. Enjoyed being SOG and sitting up at the main gate. T's Tavern and trips to Angeles City, Manila. Sgt Cross, Cpl Hill, GySgt Smiley and myself and our S3 Officer did patrol schools and live fire shoots at green beach as well as rifle ranges. But that was all business (sometimes fun). Messed with the bush bunnies and watched a few peso shows. Wonder if they've cut down the jungle yet? Barrio Burreto, Subic City trips and piss'n out the back of a jeepny was always fun. Things like military coups attempts and Mt Pinitubo eruptions put the topping on the cake. Married a bargirl that left me a year before I got out. Now I'll have to go get another one some day. I remember Sgt Staples and Sgt "Stinky". Some of the COG's and Falconburg. Sgt Head still around?

Lcpl Rivera ("Lou"), 31st MAU, 1981
Gapo81@aol.com
As a LCpl in the 31st MAU on an Indian Ocean cruise (kangaroo cruise'81) in August of 1981 I entered Subic Bay. Didn't want to go out in town 'cause I thought it was the same as back in Okinawa with the "buy me drinkee" girls. Finally one of my buds dragged me out with him to get a couple of beers. Woahh; after that my world exploded. Where was I...paradise? The place definitely had an atmosphere. To make a long story short I married my "honeyko" and still happily together for the last 18 years. Went back this year in April to visit and had to cry. Its gone man. I went to a couple of clubs and all were very happy to see an "American" back again. But I guess nothing lasts forever. We still have our memories--all good. If anyone out there remembers "Ric and Nora" or Lcpl Rivera ("Lou") drop us an email. You Are My Sunshine.....Semper Fi Devil Dogs.
