Wife for the stay, they had the option of a husband for every group.
Great people there. When I was there the kids stood atop a pole in sh#t river and dove for coins in water that was so dirty it would be impossible to see anything. The shanties were built out over the rivers edge where raw sewage was a direct deposit.
Monkey meat on a stick was a delicacy that I would enjoy even today.
Yep. WE flew over from VN to Clark and picked up trucks to take to Subic Bay for ammo to take back to CU Chi, or wherever we were at, and while the Marines loaded up our trucks at the gate to the ammo dump we walked over that bridge to the AFP and checked in our weapons and were allowed to go downtown. I swear, I was in that bar at some time and saw those same girls and they DID NOT LOOK alike as some guys say about anyone of some other race. I pretty near spit my beer out looking at that picture. They (being used to Marines and Navy) didn’t recognize our uniforms, and flocked to us like chickens at cracked corn.
