I spent a few days there way back when.

Me too. I was in transit to St Croix for a TAD assignment. On the trip back to NAS KWEST we blew an aux fuil pump and had to stop for another night. Back in the days of the Red Menace Rosey used to be a busy place and so was other bases in the region.

Me too. Ditto. RR was like a second home port for my ship. In my younger days, I got to enjoy those trips--the warm sun, aquamarine-colored water, and cheap Bacardi rum--$3 a half-gallon!

Any sailors remember that club, just off base? The Lighthouse, I believe? We could party in that place until 3 or 4 in the morning, then stumble back to the base. Only problem was, you desperately hoped to hitch a ride: the front gate was something like 10 miles from the piers. If you were lucky (or maybe not so lucky, you'd find a street vendor selling mystery meat on a stick!)
