I like the interview

My grandfather came to the Philippines in 1939 fall in love with my grandmother (a dentist) got out of the US Army core Engineer and worked in the US owned construction company. He was a prisoner of war during WWII. Because my grandmother was a dentist she was able to visit my grandfather. War experiences was never talked about or discuss. My grandfather was tortured for refusing to build airfield and permanently damaged his right leg. My Grandfather loves the Philippines. He was able to give us a good life in the Philippines.

The longer Jim spoke, the younger he got. I could listen to him for hours. Great interview!

A big salute to that man for loving the Phil's.

This guy was lucky to go back and forth between San Diego and the Philippines from 1965-75. This is a nice interview thank you both for contributing

" if you take one to the States hire your lawyer first"😂..... I would like to hear more about those stories from him. Good interview.

I had a friend who died at 52 from complications caused by agent orange. Very serious stuff that affected millions of our enlisted.

So amused with this interview as Jim has lived here in the country for a long time. His naval (military) background is rich in experience despite his medical condition and disability. Truly admire his determination in life to continue working amidst the various challenges. So interesting to hear his venture in real estate industry, logistics and so many other ventures. He's really a smart man, never stops delving into more productive ways to do business. Amazing guy!

This guy has had an amazing past. I was really impressed when he mentioned he was also an RN Psych... A feat not easily obtained! He should be interviewed again.

As a medically retired navy vet in their 30s this guys story gives me home

1965 I was in Third year High School,and President Marcos was newly elected.

In Pampanga I have heard about American servicemen who stayed when Clark air base was closed.

Wow, Jim ... it's quite a long love relationship between you and the Philippines. More loving years ahead.

Great Story, I always enjoy a story that starts with the Navy brought me to the Philippines because that was how I got there the first time in 72.

What a great guy, reminds me of my dad never stops thinking or working and he’s 80.

Wow, what a guy and what a story. I would buy and read his memoirs for sure. Wishing him good health for many more years to come.

Mark I have to admire this man so knowledgeable..He is around my age so I can relate to him he has had a good life and i hope he enjoys many more years 👍👍

I think Mr Bud Brown was also assigned in communications center in San antonio, Zambales. I bet he did!!

I can’t believe that I already finish watching the whole video. It feels like it was so short. I enjoy listening to his story bcoz he haven’t able to witness and experience what it feels like and how Philippines look like then. The country wasn’t that much progressive but we’re thankful of its improvements from all those years up to this day. I hope it will continue to improve.

Hi Mark, you have interviewed some very astute gentlemen on your channel from time to time. Jim, is one of them, i'm amazed at Jim's excellent memory for detail going way back and recent activity. I'm 82yo on May 30, and from Jim's Navy service, i'm picking he is up there in my age group. I think Jim is a good man with a good brain. I'm impressed, and, one day would look forward to meeting Jim in person when i return to Cebu permanently in a couple of short years. Bob. Veteran Soldier. NZ.

This man is amazing! What a memory! What a life! I hope we hear more from him.

I’d like to hear about the 4 ex wives…very interesting guy…hope there’s a part 2

If people listen to your interviews, it's very educational about life in the PI and retirement in in the U.S.

Wow,I listen and listen to this interview very well.Such an amazing man.Have a very sharp memory.He remembered details on what's happening in his life.Mabuhay ,Sir! Stay safe and God bless everyone 💕🙏

PS. The first book this guy should get self published is HIS LIFE STORY, and this great interview proves it! The final chapter should be: "Why you should hire a lawyer First before bringing Pinay Wife to America."

got to admire his energy

Maybe Jim can help the man on Pauls video. He surely needs help

Wow, great interview!

what a great story ! This one impressed me and taught me alot. great guy to interview and very full of experience and knowledge. great job.

An interesting story. I was a Radioman in the Philippines in 1970-71. After then I made many WESTPAC cruises with port visits to Subic Bay until 1991.

Wow! Since the 60s.

Amazing inspirational Story . Could probably do a book.

What an interesting man. Thank you Sir.

Absolutely Awesome Video With Jim I Loved it So Much

He had a STEMI (ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction), which is the most deadliest form of heart attack, which I had myself in 2017. That's why it is nicknamed "The Widowmaker." Anyhoo, we are both survivors and good to see you still looking sprite sir! Retired Navy myself and was stationed at NAS Cubi Point from 1990 until we all closed down shop in 1992. Currently riding out a few more years with the Culinary Union here in Vegas and retire again and chase the sunset back to the Pee Eye.

Interesting guy. Many more years to him.

My Dad got disability too from the navy bc of vietnam and his heart disease and diabetes. good for this gentleman having found his tdy orders. awesome.

Mark Again many thanks, a great positive guy… Cheers Glenn

My wife has fond memories of the Navy communications station there in San Antonio. She grew up just down the road in San Narciso in the 60s. Her mother was the local ombudsman for the community to the base. They would have many of the officers, including the CO, over for meals at their home. It is now the main training facility for the Philippine Navy. When we ride the Victory Liner back from Olongapo and see the base we know we are close to home.

Excellent! I found this very interesting.

That was a very interesting interview. It seemed to have gotten cut off rather abruptly though. He was a talker but very interesting. I hope you can track him down again, I’ll bet he’s got stories for days. 4 Ex’s. I love it. I’ll bet he’s looking for number 5 now. Anyway mark. Great interview!

He been here wooaahh experience all history and trial here in Philippines.

That was the best interview . I loved it. Thank you

What a fascinating story Jim, your life is certainly not boring. I hope you find whatever iy is you're looking for in the Philippines.

Great interview. Super impressive guy. I enjoyed some of his perspectives on PH. I was here first in 72, lived three years 1974 -82 in bits, then back most years. Here permanently since 2006 (except one year in Afghanistan). Luckily not 4 wives, but one since 74. She became a senior Navy civilian in Hawaii. I'd never trade in a GI (Genuine Ilocana) wife. I'd love to hear more from Jim. Thanks

Good informative video and Jim is great, a character.

This guy has a great story and is very wise.

Good to have another Texan here.

REALLY good INTERVIEW! Stay safe JIM !!

Your videos have helped me reach over $180,000 in trading by age 23! Thanks Every Man Has a Story Keep the videos coming. 👍🏽

If you take your wife to the west,hire your lawyer first.Priceless advise.

I bet this guy has heard of the names of Oasis and the Swagman, Holy City Zoo, Fire Empire, Silver Dollar Saloon so on so forth of Angeles City

Wow Jim have a very interesting life. One never gets bored from listening to his stories. Very good interview.

What caught my attention is when he mentioned being from Texas in the beginning , I'm from Texas. I listened to the entire video and enjoyed it. Im one of your silent subs.

This is the real life Secret, keep going.

Intrest rates have shot up and house prices are in a bubble

Great interview. Jim should write the first book and publish it.

this man has done so much, lived well, and keeps on going
