Ok, you asked. Remember, no hard feelings.
I was in the Navy back in my youth, when I was single. Spent a fair amount of time at the old US Naval Station is Subic Bay. Olongapo, the Barrio and Subic City were frequent stops on the Jeepny ride. I recall San Miguel Beer, lots of hookers, the Sh/t river, lots of hookers, Bull-Frog, lots of hookers, Paying kids to keep other kids off of you, lots of hookers, Games of Smiles (PM me and I'll tell you), lots of hookers, hot humid weather, lots of hookers, cheap shirts, lots of hookers, cheap hotels, lots of hookers, the clap line back onboard, lots of hookers, Marcos and his wife, lots of hookers, Martial law in the late 80s, lots of hookers, the Coup attempt in 90, lots of hookers, Mt Pinatubo blowing up as we were pulling in, lots of hookers, Mt Pinatubo raining ash on mud on me in the Barrio, lots of hookers, watching a Filipino cop beat the crap out of a kid for no reason, lots of hookers, the fire pole at the Rock Lobster, lots of hookers, getting drunk and then tattooed, lots of hookers, the Florida Bar, lots of hookers, The White House Hotel in the Barrio and girl named Hermione, lots of hookers, 35 days inport strait, lots of hookers, The Officers club at NAS Subic (now in the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola Fla., btw), lots of hookers, being so broke you looked foreword to having duty onboard, lots of hookers, the way the place looked, all trashed and ruined after the eruption, lots of hookers, hauling US Civilians to the Southern PI to be evacuated, lots of hookers, Cleaning ash off the ship for months after we left the PI, lots of hookers, old friends I have not seen or thought of in years, lots of hookers, the poverty and much, much more.
The place was known throughout the Pacific fleet (and still is to some extent) as the "Adult Disney Land" of the far east. It was a mandatory port visit on the way to wherever (Vietnam, The Indian Ocean, The Persian Gulf, The Red Sea, The South China Sea etc) and on the way back. The base facilities there matched nearly any in the Continental US, including Dry Dock and Nuclear Power Repair facilities. The off duty, off base action was a lot more fun than most stateside ports. All of that is gone is now, or most of it is. The base has been closed for years, and while USN ships still stop there on occasion, I understand it's not the same anymore.
That being said, I have not been there in 15 years, and I hear it has changed much.
