I was in Subic for the volcaphoonquake of ‘92 when Pinatubo erupted.

We washed ash off the deck with firehoses for nearly 3 days straight and then started transporting military and dependents down to Cebu for another 2 weeks or so.

Never forget watching (want to say it was) Iwo Jima (LHD) start listing because they didn’t start removing ash immediately. Then they started using the aircraft movers to bulldoze it as I recall.

1991 - a Friend of mine was sent mainland from Clark to Florida right after it happened - they shipped his volcanic fried car to Patrick and we had to figure a way to get it to Tampa...fun time...
