Sailor Bars -- A Trip Back in Time -- Forever Gone (Part 1)

[Riverpigusmc]

The joints in Olongopo? Seen 'em all, been thrown out of a few. Same with Angeles City. Pohang South Korea was....interesting. And the clubs in Kinville and Henoko on Okinawa were monumental. Ah, but Court Street in Jacksonville NC...did I ever tell ya about me, a Corpsman, a CS grenade and a ti**y bar on Court Street? It resulted in a Court Martial.

Sea story for another time

Almost brings a tear to your eye.
And a "How did I survive that s#*t" thought.
Oh, the times I woke up in my bunk wondering, "How did I get here?"

It was the best of times, and the worst of times. No doubt.

Thanks for the memories!

You all seem to think I wrote that.

Not so!

Whoever did is much more talented a writer than I.

Actually, my best bud Charlie, a retired Army Ranger Colonel, sent it. He did three tours in Nam and a bunch in Korea and has seen some of those garden spots as well.

I'm not as familiar with the Pac stuff as I didn't spend too much time there. Mostly I was in the Med, Central Africa (too many countries to name), and Central America.
