Clark Air Base forum

Doug,
Thanx for the pictures. They bring back a lot of good memories. All my slides and pictures from Clark were burned in my barn fire long time ago. I enjoy looking at yours. I'm going to print them off. Road the jeepneys many times. Lived on the 3rd floor of the barracks. Road up and down MacArthur Hwy a few times. Spent a few fun hours downtown. Don't remember Chris & Sally's you pictured. Our house boy was Johnny in the barracks. Ate many good meals in the chow hall. All was good except for the reconstitured milk. Never got used to that. I drank a lot of milk in Hawaii air port on the way back home in '65. I can't remember the flight I was in, but the flight officer was 1st Lt. Larry ????? GOOD TIMES.

I was a 203 on "Dawg" flight for 15 months 1970 era. I recall the barracks being 5205 but it's been a little while. I still have some mask carvings I bought in the barrios and sent home. If I had known what that stuff is probably worth... I still have a box of b&w photos and a whole box of color slides, probably a shot of the elephant cage,too! I just ran across this site by accident but lots of things come back to mind: Hucks, PC, Negritos outside the gate selling blow-guns, San Miguel, baloots, whew.
Had orders to TaiWan but got sent to NSA for an early out. What an armpit that place was, Ft. Meade.

Hi Jim....if you were on the 3rd floor (Bldg 5205) then you would have been on A flight, just like me. Who did you hang around with? I never drank the reconstitued milk either, couldn't stand it. I think the flight officer you were talking about is Larry Pacina. He was the A flight officer.

Some of my memories are cloudy due to a minor stroke in '98. My memories come and go. I believe the 3rd floor is right. I know the flight officer was Larry ???. I hung out with Jim King (Georgia), Chuck Mills (Ohio). I remember a big guy named Terry Jerry (he ended up in Dallas, Tx...not sure if he was from there). There was a good friend from Massachusetts... a skinny kid that took judo lessons (or something similar). I ran into Terry Jerry at Hart Bowl Lanes in Dallas in mid '70's. We visited a while, then lost contact with him. There was a blonde guy from Mobile, Al and another from, I think, Pasagoula, Ms. I can't remember any other names from my flight. I was from Arlington, Tx. I went to Vandenburg AFB in Calif from PI. I was discharged in 1967 and went back to Texas ... still here. Can't imagine living any where other than Texas. My oldest grandson has recently enlisted in the marines. I tried to explain how much better the Air Force would be for him. Good to hear from you.
