We were on Liberty call in Cebu. I was out in the jungle in a hammock with a girl for 2 days drinking San Magoo. They sent Shore Patrol out to round us all up for emergency recall. Such good times. We didn’t get back to Subic for a month.

Haze gray and underway

Love it...thanks for your service. I lived in Subic for about 2 1/2 years as a military dependent, my dad was the base XO.

This is him at his Change of Command, he is the one with the sword, and my mom is the woman with the black beehive, sunglasses, and purse on her arm being escorted...:)

He had a plaque with his sword in it made up when he retired, and over the years it deteriorated and the whole thing came apart. The scabbard disappeared (my younger brother used it in a school play and it never came back home) so I rebuilt the plaque, replaced the crumbling wooden part the insignia is attached to, and since I didn't want to pay the money to buy a new scabbard I designed and printed one on my 3-D printer...:)
Yes. Haze Gray and Underway, FRiends...:)
