Yeah, I know it is a strange feeling when you feel the thunk of the probe
as it seats along with hearing the voice of female come over the inter-a/c
intercom! Damned, first time in my life I've been plugged by a female.

So... Um, ah... You are confirming that you usually get plugged by guys?
Geez Louise... Give us a break Doc, admitting it is bad enough,
describing how it feels is just plain TMI (Too much information)!
It just keeps getting WORSE AND WORSE!

Sorry, I'll stop now...

You're telling me you've been plugged by a female? Oh, I forgot you've had
RR in such exotic places as the PI and Hong Kong where you could not tell
after a few to many San Migells what was or was not!
Well at least for me it was a metal Probe sticking in my back!

Ah, Cubi Point and and across the beautiful Shit River the jewel of the PI,
Olongapo, the Disneyland for perverts! Home of the Vigi on a stick, monkey
meat on a stick, and girls with "bugs" that stick! Don't forget the baloots
also. Carl Vinson pulled in there with Enterprise and Ranger's
battlegroups. First time three battlegroups had been in there since VietNam
days. It required three generations of hookers working the same corners!
Kind of like calling up the Reserves....

The Vigi's still there. An art school located on the old NAS Cubi site is responsible for the paint job. No idea about the East End Club. I haven't been there for a long time. If my attachment won't open try: http://cs.finescale.com/forums/1/626175/ShowPost.aspx#626175 I got to visit with a couple of nice Shore Patrol guys on New Years Eve of 1985 I believe it was for climbing on top of it. My wife had flown over to see me and had gotten a little too big at the Air Wing party at the O Club. When she was through calling dinosaurs I took a walk. Always wanted to see the inside of a Vigi, so with enough San Migu and Cubi Specials in my blood I jumped up on the horizontal stabilizer and proceeded to climb up the back of the Vigi. It conveniently still had plenty of non skid on top of the fuselage. I recall the nose being pretty high off of the ground. I was prodding around trying to get the canopy open when I heard a "What are you doing up there?" The stealth properties of the San Miguel didn't help when I tried to crouch down and hide on top of it. So I walked back down to the tail, jumped off and explained to the two nice SP's why I was up there. They suggested I go back up the hill and check on my wife unless I preferred to explain what I was doing to the Base Security Officer. Those guys always screwed up everything fun!

Doc,
What did you expect from art students? There's actually a group trying to get it back to the US to restore it for a museum or put it on a stick with a proper paint job.

Doc, if you never got a chance to go to the P.I., there is very little
that can be said that would truly describe it. By and large, I think it
is pretty much gone now anyway... At least from what it used to be. The
wild wild west had NOTHING on that place. I spent a lot of time down
there as a Marine, both on the boat and off. Was there on the Midway,
and the Coral Sea in the 70's, and then spent lots of months there
deployed with VMAQ-2 during the 80's, then as a Tech Rep in the 90's.
Once Mount Pinatubo went up, Clark AFB (sheesh what a place that was
too!) just went off the map, and Olongapo was pretty badly damaged as
well.
No... I have never been "plugged" period. We were always the plugger
and never the pluggee. Seriously now... You have seen the difference
between what the USAF uses and what the USN/USMC uses correct? The two
systems are indeed 180 out from each other.
The beer was San Miguel by the way.... Your spelling indeed reflects how
it is pronounced. The only place that came close to Cubi and Olongapo
was possibly Taichung in Taiwan during the Vietnam years. This was a
staging point for Nam and was also pretty wild. The taxi drivers were
actually wilder... Which is truly saying something. Hong Kong is
actually mild compared to those two places.
Lots of good memories. Some not so good as well!

Indeed tanking is 180 out Navy/Marines vs Air Force. Have heard tales and
seen a few safety reports with 5X8 glossies of baskets stuck on the end of
the probe and the other way around. The 135 guys were not too happy to bring
home extra hardware. I have seen probes jammed and broken off in the
receptacle also. That got to be a bit dicey for the Eagle driver that
brought the proboncis home too. Can't imagine trying to do an obstructed
trap. Those were some huge brass kahonas! Can pretty well imagine there were
some 55 Buick size skid marks in his shorts when that nose gunner managed to
extract the seat cushion from his rosey pink and slide down the rail.
Nope, never got to Clarke. My squadron's South Pacific tour was cut short
with the decision to close down Cope Thunder there and move it to Alaska!
Just not the same.
Have sampled that formaldehyde laden San Miguel courtesy of some heavy
drivers though. Guess that falls in the category of "slept in a Holiday Inn
Express" huh. Unfortunately have treated some of those bugs that stuck too!
They grow some pretty bad shit in the P.I.! It does not die easily!
Yes, guess we were the US's misguide Children (and for some still are). A
lot of growing up done then and even now for those still on the Tip! Would
not trade those experiences for anything. Well, maybe a few less hangovers
and 100% O2...maybe! Damned, hate having to grow up and become an adult
supervisor!
