Had my first liberty in 1965 as an 18 year old sailor deployed with the USS FORT MARION LSD 22. Lots of fun memories. Fell in love and out of love a number of times. My youth will always be tied with this city and Subic Bay. I made 3 deployments and those memories are very dear to me. I wish I could go back in time as be 18 again.

Thanks Navy Vet. This brings back years of life 74-79 of living there in and out off the ships. I loved being there and loved the people there. Filipinos are some of the most wonderful people on the Earth. Some of the best times of my life were in Olongapo and Subic Bay. One day I'll be gone from this Earth and the Filipino Peoples will live on being a most wonderful and fun loving people...If only the world would know and protect them.

New subscriber here... Aerographers Mate aboard the USS Midway from 74-76. Glad I found found your video. Back then the streets were dirt and martial law was still in effect but I loved this place (of course I did at 19/20 years old). As a wet behind the ears kid, I thought Olongapo City was PARADISE! Everything about the place was perfect; the beautiful woman, friendly people, the climate, and you could live for a week on 20 bucks. And let's not forget just how damn good the Filipino bands were! Never have I danced so much or drank so many San Miguels!! I had a chance to spend two weeks Christmas vacation there in 75 and I damn near didn't leave. While I appreciate the video it saddens me to some degree to see how progress has changed the City. Thank Navy Vet!

@@TheDarkestBride YES, the Filmore East opened when I was there 82,83 while in the Seabees for 9 months. I'd stop with friends at the Brown Fox for a beer and we usually went our separate ways but some of us ended up at the Filmore East. I'd get pretty drunk and dance with 2 hot girls working there a lot of times. But never tried hitting on them as I had a female friend. It was the best time in my life that never could be brought back to life.

I was TAD to Marine barracks in 1982 left Okinawa on ship and had a great time except when I was on jungle patrols out in the mag especially. In the afternoon the heat was overwhelming at times but we survived. At night couldn’t see your hand in front of face so dark in the jungle. And who could forget humping up the seven steps to heaven. And JEST school learning how to survive in the jungle hanging out with Negritos. More fun than Okinawa. Semper Fi

I just visited Subic and Olongapo. Was stationed there for 7 months just as the base was closing in 91. I'll be honest, don't waste a trip coming to Subic/Olongapo. It was a little depressing for me. I have such great memories from that time. There is nothing here left from those days. The Freeport has some decent restaurants and shopping but it's just not worth traveling here if you are nostalgic for the old Subic/Olongapo that we all remember. There are so many other, more beautiful places to visit in the Philippines. I recommend Bohol, Dumeguete, Palawan, etc.

Hello Navy Vet and thanks for the great video....I came thru on the USS Okinawa Wespac 85 we stopped over twice for 30 days each and it was a Liberty Port for us we were very lucky to be here when the country was not at war.....As a US Marine our only job was to go for a run on the Flight Deck maybe twice a week the rest of the time we were off duty. I am living here now in North Caloocan City...it's a tough culture to adjust to and there are no Foreigners where I live here but it's super cheap to live here..I too have a channel teaching prospective expats what it is like to live full time in the Philippines.

@lucythedachshund6793 4 жыл бұрын

semper fi. I arrived there in 85 and left in 87. Bravo company 3rd platoon cubic point marine barracks. I got to see the revolution first hand and also the so called workers strike in 86. Spent a week trying to get back onto the base. Got shot at a few times, several fights. Finally left olongapo, went to Manila, and got a military flight back to subic bay. Other than that it was good times. Looking back I think we pulled a MUC and a NUC out of that couple of months in early 86. The rest was red horse, chicken on a stick, vias tacos, and the bar scene.

Many fine times in Olongapo. The U & I was my favorite place. The Rodono and Omali family were great folks. When they opened the Villa Rovisa at Halfmoon Bay my friends and I on the USS Markab (AR-23) were the first ones to stay there back in 1968. No electricity out there then. Over the years it changed with the real wild times and then martial law. On my last cruise there on the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in 1987 Auntie Connie remembered me and we threw the most awesome three day CPO Mess party ever. Bittersweet memories. Found out my favorite GF made it to the states and lives in Kentucky. All good.

Besides the airfare you don’t have to spend a lot, hotels are fairly inexpensive and if you are staying an extended period they are usually willing to offer you a discount. You can eat three squares for about $10 a day, and for entertainment to can go to the beach or watch a free show at the mall, which they have several times a week.

When you and your wife plan to buy one of the former model home you have to make way for a car port including do some touch up inside of the house.

Left RP in 76', when my dad got sent to Guam. Dad was stationed at NSD. I remember vividly the sh*t river and the girls and little kids in the Banca boats, though at 6 yo did not really understand it. Remember the stories told of being in the go-go clubs front and center stage, at that age. A bunch of NAVY guys were escorted out, when they tried moving me, because I WAS in one of their spots. When your filipino Uncle is president of the Olangapo Bar Association possibly had something to do with that. Used to live in a complex behind Pauline's, in my dad's earlier tours, then lived in Binictican on his later ones. Oh, the stories my dad would share...

I TOO WAS ONBOARD THE USS MIDWAY, and lived with my girlfriend for 3+ years (...so desperately wanted to get married, ...BUT didn't [In retrospect I wondered ""IF" she ever really did...]); I learned so much Tagalog (NOT TAG-LISH...) that some people thought that I was a local. We lived in Barrio Barretto. GOD HOW I MISSED THIS PALCE. I often dreamed about returning to see the changes, ..especially afterthe Pinatubo eruption.

Wow Subic/Olongapo in the mid 80's. A few names immediately come to mind... The Airport club, Red Horse/Sam Beer, Mojoe, the Jungle. I had so much of a good time, the rest is pretty much a blur. I have a question/debate for you salty shipmates and devil dogs here... Philippines or Thailand ?

1980 on board The USS Brewton was my first time. I made three West-Pacs and my memory fails me some but I do miss P.I. I will never make it back but if I did I might never leave. Wish I had been able to see Baguio..
