(all that shit suppossed to remain top secret), heh! 
I spent almost a month @ Subic and aged nearly 10 years! |
I had to relearn how to live in polite society after completing my enlistment, although I went straight into six years of college, which was a whole other party...
Cumulatively I spent several months in the PI...I even almost got married there, although in retrospect I'm glad that I didn't.

Trying to remember what was in Mojo? Like some fruit brandy, bottle of San Miguel, tree sweet juice and a bottle of some other kind of booze, that stuff would make you useless

I was fortunate to have never caught the Olongapo Ouch (nor the Korean version, the Osan Ouch), since I was there pre-AIDS and almost everybody rode bareback back then.
When I was on a 6-month deployment to an air force base in Okinawa, we would get drunk off our asses on our own version of Mojo, which was a garbage can with a liner inside, filled with every imaginable kind of alcohol, as well as various drugs, then we would have the duty driver take a busload of us to the main gate where we would stagger out to BC street.
There were less than a hundred of us sailors, on an air force base of thousands. Because we were allowed to grow beards and our hair fairly long, the air force MPs often assumed we were AWOL, but they knew not to fuck with us, because generally a huge brawl would ensue.
We were always careful to never leave one of our drunken comrades behind...

that I didn't take more photos  |
The military was where I picked up photography. My first real camera was a venerable Canon AE-1.
