LOL...some good tips there if you can get 'em. The last "Liberty Hound" handout I saw was in around 1988. It was either MIDWAY or INDEPENDENCE, before a Thailand port. They don't do that any more...now it is pre-port briefs like "Buddy system is required to leave the ship, and must return together". "No more than 3 beers in any one sitting, and MUST be consumed with food." "If you come back to the ship intoxicated, you are on liberty risk". (So there goes the safe harbor in a kid's mind when he loses his buddy, drunk.

Sadly, I kid you not. 7th Fleet is a whole new world these days.

We didn’t have “Liberty Manuals”; we just expected to keep away of the “restricted” bars & dives.
