USS Belleau Wood 1989... i wish i had a time machine... I'd go back and stay 😊

I was there 5 days ago. The bridge and gate are still there. Alot old buildings. They still use the Navy Exchage but It's called Royal now.

I remember it well, west pac's 81,82, and 83 on the USS Ranger CV61. I miss those days! Anyone remember the Samari in Bario Baretta just outside of Olongapo? It was the best massage and BJ you could get, and it only cost $2.35 American lol. Those were the days. I wish I could do it all again.

Omg!!! I lived on Subic Bay in 1989! I remember the Shit River and I distinctly remember this one club that had a dance floor that you could see from the street. Oh man! I walked down these streets with my Ate and Manaangs. Brings back SO many memories. Thank You

Thanks, I was TAD there for about 6 months. I remember folks would throw coins over and the kids would actually find them!

Yes thanks for the memories for me, I was there in Dec 87 with a Fighter Squadron on westpac deployment to Cubi point......

I crossed the shit river bridge first time in 1965 USS Vancouver LPD2 many more times in the next four years

I was just in Olongapo City back in May of 2014 wow the changes are crazy there are now malls on both sides of the river it has really developed over the years.

Damn, you were walking right up on my old bar, I Think, from when I was there in '74. Been trying to remember the name of the place for years. Couldn't quite make out the sign.... 😭

Wow!! The memories your video brings back

Damn thanks for posting this. I saw my old spot Rock Traxx. USMC West Pac June 1990, USS Okinawa

I remember the PI. Loved it. In fact I fell in love there...at least 20X.

"Life on the Midway"...right Tichenor, Bamboo, Stoner, Bam-booboo and Beefy. Once the first 2 yrs were behind you the next 18 months was a cinch...especially once you made E-5. Let's not forget Gordon Ave! Who out there got soaked during the summer monsoon season...I did June 1985...morphed into a duck after 7 days leave.

Yep.. I was there a few times that year. Marine Detatchmet, USS Nimitz,

I got there Olongapo City when we were going to Desert Shield/Storm winter 91 13 ships pulled in at once the streets were packed you had everything from country to Hip-Hop to House music those was some crazy times. When I was stationed as a Corpsman in Okinawa Japan 86 I found a place I like better though up country called Angeles City outside air force base! Thanks for the videos great memories!

Loved Olongapo! I was there before, during, and after Pinatubo. Place just wasn't the same after Pinatubo though..gotta say best time of my life for the 5-6 months I was there. I worked in the field ASP as a young Marine. Worked from 5am..off by noon. Life was good!

It's sad that this is all many people know about the Philippines

Now this is like going back in time, There several times during 1983-1984 when a Naval base was aboard USS White Plains AFS 4

Dam! I was there, had pull back in after the coup with the President the wife. I was stationed on the Uss Witchita Aor-1. My favorite bar was in the alley off masaysay The freaks Stagger Inn,always thought that was a helluva name for a club. Always ate at the soul food place in the jungle at the end. Wow memories,thanks for posting

i was there twice in 1983. Between that summer, and my arrival a few months later, they put that stupid barrier up. Prior to that there were "virgins" in canoes tied to the bridge with little baskets to catch pesos we would throw them.
