LOL! OMG! Do I remember. We were warned not to go there so the first thing just about everybody did was head there. I think a couple of our 1st class POs got SP duty. As for the other, yeah I remember them as well (the Bluebird[?] in Naples). Saw an officer get taken for some money buying a Berretta at the water front in Naples. When he got back on the ship there was a rock inside the box. Don’t know how they did it but they were slick. We were smarter and went to the UN HQ outside of Naples and bought ours there. Yeah, better knock it off as Chief Lamp used to say. LOL! Thanks for the memories.
P.S. Imagine 300+million people in this country, how many served on that deployment and how many are on FReerepublic. Too funny.
OK, get ready for this. Our Senior Chief warned us to be careful of buying Berrettas, because of what you just described, getting a box with a rock in it. No lie, I remembered that when I read your last post.
Crap, I wonder how many times we ran in to each other on liberty...
