When I met my husband in 1987 he was stationed in Yokusuka Japan Naval Base. They would come to the Philippines to have their ship repaired as it was cheaper to do it there than in Japan. It was one of those visits that we met.

I was stationed in S Korea, Camp Walker, Taegu, back in the mid 70's and looking at KZfaq videos today, Camp Walker is unrecognizable. Yes, Korea was still developing back then and their taxi cab bodies were made in Korea and engines manufactured in Japan. Today, the entire car is made in Korea, and their tech industry is another story.

I was a US Army Military Policeman in Pusan South Korea (Hialeah Compound) from 1977 to 1980 as a member of the 552nd Military Police Company. I remember guiding US Marines thru Pusan for Team Spirit many times over that time period. I also remember one of the Marine Battalions getting lost one year. I retired after 20 years from the US Army in 1995. I will be in Dumaguete in early May to visit and would love to meet this gentlemen. Hoo Rah!

Enjoyed that interview, Going to Army and Marine Corp basic trainings, that must have been fun, He's fortunate he didn't have to go to Air Force Basic training, that is the hardest of all the services, meanest TI's of them all. I joined in 76 and did 23 years. My dad was a retired Marine, I was born on Camp Pendleton back in 56 and grew up in Oceanside. I called him when I signed up for the AF and he said that's good son as I would never make it in the Corp. Anyway he had me late in his life and he told me about his time in the Philippians, he was transferred there with the 4th Marine regiment from China in the summer of 41, and was there when the Japanese attacked. He got called to his orderly room and was told he was going to Corregidor to be assigned to Dugout Dugs Marine body guard. After Dug left and went to Australia my dad was captured by the Japanese and sent to Japan as a POW on one of the hell ships. He was at Kawasaki Camp 2B for the entire war until his release. I would like to visit the Philippians and go to the island where he was captured and see what it was like.

@Pat. Hi Pat, had a chuckle at your term, 'Dugout Dug', LoL. I won't say anymore about that man but i do have my personal opinion of him. What happened to those poor guys taken prisoner by the Jap's is beyond belief. I know our side did some nasty stuff too but it pales in significance compared to Jap treatment of POW's. My wife is Filipina and we have a home there on Cebu although we are currently in New Zealand. Corregidor is a shrine to the fallen and to those who were cruelly treated. I hope you manage to visit the Philippines, you'll find it is a lovely country with smiling citizens who's ancestors were also treated badly during the war. I count among my friends several USA Vets whom i met in the Philippines. God bless you Pat. Bob, Infantry Veteran. New Zealand.

I lived and worked there 3x between 1999 and 2017. Also was on a retirement visa in 2017-18. First went there on annual leave while in the military in 77. Yes, it's better for housing, medical, food, and public transportation. But for a true relationship without mandatory dowry, the Philippines is best. To party Thailand is tops, to have a relationship- Philippines is tops. Thai girls have changed so much over the years. Most of them now prefer men nearer to their own age. But I haven't burnt my bridges. I still maintain my bank account there and credit card account I've had since 2010.

Side question: does KZfaq pay you at American rates or Philippine rates? If I understand correctly, monetization is very different depending on the country. How does that work in your case? Are you paid according to where you’re living now, or what country you’re a citizen of, or something else?
