I was stationed in Mtn Home ID, Yokota AB JP, Kadena AB Okinawa, and Hickam AFB HI. Have been everywhere in the Asia Pacific ring from being a AF Phoenix Raven.

Are you a 1C5 also??

I wanted to go ANYWHERE but Phoenix, hell even Korea. But no, they sent me there, then sent me BACK there. So /career.

Nope, I was A 3P071

Don't worry, people still park there all the time, even though there are signs posted. Makes me want to give them one in the head, 2 in the chest to free the gene pool of their stupidity.

I had no problems with Phoenix as a city, it was the Base/Squadron that I hated.

What's that?

Tripple tap, FTW!

3P071 is Security Police/Security Forces

I'd save that ammo for the City of El Mirage when they try and get Luke shut down again for being "too loud", however, they were the ones that built their city around an existing AFB.

Ah, cool.

You should do a google search for the Public Affairs 2LT who wrote a letter to the Phoenix Paper in response to all of those people... Let's just say, it was a GOOD read.

Been to the Philippine Islands? My old stomping ground, Clark AFB was destroyed by a volcano..

ShutokuZ

Oh yeah I have! Angeles City, Cebu, Manila, and Zambowanga. Have been to the PI between 20-30 times on missions. Stayed on Clark a few times, but most of the time we stayed in Angeles City.

RiCharlie

Ya!.. i bet you enjoyed Angeles city.. Maboohai!

When was the last time at Clark? Completely gone isnt it? Was so beautiful then but reduced to ashes a few years after I left..

Nice to meet another... GI in the PI..

ShutokuZ

Yup, there is always fun to be had in Angeles City! Lol
We stayed at a hotel called the Oasis a lot.
Last time I did a mission there, was in 2003. Clark is nothing but bldgs over run with vegetation. There are a lot of people that live there, and still is a PI base with a airfield. There is also a Holiday Inn on Clark that is pretty cool.

RiCharlie

I would love to see pics of that base...used to be so beautiful with so much green grass and flowers of all sort.. I cant imagine what it must be like..like someone in the year 800 living among the Roman ruins.

If you know of someone who can get me some pics I would be very grateful..
Meantime I will open a few San Miguels and have some lumpia

Maybe I am imagining things but I seem to remember that hotel ..not sure ..that is on base right? Name sounds familiar..

One thing I do remember is standing in the Philippine American WW2 cemetery in Manila and seeing row after row of white crosses neatly laid out over the green grass, shade trees and rolling hills. Each cross had a name and age. These were the combat deaths of WW2 and most that i recalled were in their twenties. It was a very moving scene that you absolutely cannot describe..Its something that I will never forget...

I live less than two miles from Luke. I love hearing the flyovers and such.

My Grandpa was retired AF and when I was a kid we'd go out to the end of the runways and watch the F16s take off and land at Luke. Was so cool, but now we can't stop along the road and do that anymore.

What's wrong with Phoenix?! It's beautiful here. Warm in the Summers, yes, but the Winters (or really lack thereof) make up for it.

But, does it have more than one cup holder?
