I lived there for 4 1/2 years in Kittery Beach housing. The best years of childhood and high school. Perfect weather and quite an unusual living circumstance! It's awesome to see Mr. Romero in this documentary- went to school with his kids!
this is interesting. so much stuff that you learn!
2:48- That Captain was recently fired for having an affair with a woman whose husband died under mysterious circumstances on base. Captain John Nettleton was relieved of duty for misconduct amid a probe into the man's death.
Now he is in federal prison for the next two years. Thank You Sir for your interesting piece of information.
Any updates on the captain and the woman?
@@Mr3344555 the dead guy's wife who was having the affair wrote a book about spousal abuse. Author's name is Lara Sabanosh.
He seemed shady. How could you consider turning your back on these people.
Wow !!! God bless USA 🇺🇸🇨🇺♥️🙏🗽. That’s is what I want for My seniors and the all Cuban people. Freedom and human rights 🙏🙏🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺. Patria y vida 🔔🔔🔔🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺💪💪💪💪🗽🗽🗽🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺♥️♥️♥️
I was stationed at the Marine Barracks September-December 1964 on temporary guard duty from H&S 3/8 81mm mortar platoon, Camp Lejuene, NC. I still remenber the guy, "Pete", who worked at the snack bar. Loved my 3 month duty at Guantanamo and the interesting time on guard duty on the fenceline. Watched sharks trolling through the mangroves behind the barracks.
i was born rigth on gtmo city close to this place and i remeber my grandfather use to work inside the “base” also i remember all tales he makes about the place, is just nice and sad watch this before 20 years and listen all again that reminds him 🙂
kiko pileta I was wondering while watching this. Why are there no newer generations in this group?
@@MrX-lg8vi Castro didnt allow anyone to enter the base, and surrounded the base with a minefield
@@MrX-lg8vi i would assume any children born their likely took up the opportunity of immigrating to the US. While the older generation still feels deeply connected to that land which is understandable and respected.
¡Cuba Libre!
🇨🇺✊🏼
Saludos Señor Ramon Budin....usted fue mi profesor de Karate durante mi estancia en Guantanamo (1974 - 1975) Lo recuerdo con mucho cariño. (Rey de Luna).
Mu regards to Mr. Ramon Baudin, he was my karate instructor during my tour in Guantanamo (1974 - 1975) I think of him quite often. (Rey de Luna)
In 1969 a beautiful Cuban girl swam into the base and came out of the water totally nude. LOL MY friend found her and gave her his shirt.
Michael, I saw your other post -- but it is short in the start year of your service there. My father was at the base around 1968-69; not sure exactly what months. LT Fletcher, Navy -- but he had trained in Coronado (San Diego) as a Forward Spotter before going to GTMO, and he may have held a Marine Corps rank then. I don't know if he was there for this event -- sounds even more memorable than his being startled by a 4 foot long iguana in the rec area late one night. :)
I would go there with the Navy to train every year. I loved that base.I could live there if I could. Ocean, gyms, movies ,shows hospital and churches beautiful!
I was there from March 19 - March 1970.
I was there 1971 to 1972!
Lived there one year at Granadillo point and Goldhill.Big up to all friends I made out there.😮
That boy looks good for 92 years old
Yo viví en la basé naval 28 agosto 1994 al 12 octubre 1995 (un año y medio)😐🤣🙄😉😊😶😃🤔😗😎😑😋😍🐯😅😆😀😘🐶🤗🙂😙🤩😁😂😏😄☺ (32 ) en la carpa
Only if cuba could be like this…
I must be sad that you cant go back to the country where you grew up, where most of the pople you know libe, just because political decisions taken by some suit wearing people
Wow. Dificil imaginarme vivir en mi propia Tierra pero separada de mi pais.
Peor es vivir adentro bajo la dictadura.
@@cordovajose5693 Eso si es verdad.
Surprised they didn't emigrate to Miami

I worked there & this is all true . If I’m not mistaken these good ppl have a choice to go to America, or go back to Cuba , or remain on a small section of true free Cuban soil .
Lets all hope all of these good people can remain their for the rest of their normal life..."Hear that White House". Made a number of trips to GITMO in the late 50"s & mid 60" as a Plank Owner aboard the USS John R. Perry (DE-1034).
*occupied Cuban territory
They can stay there until it gets resolved 61 years later still hasnt been resolved
I don’t envy their lives.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Free Ride
Stuid comment.
They've risked, and lost, more than You could understand.
Pathetic ☆
Abajo la dictadura de los Castro viva cuba 🇨🇺 libre del comunismo
how come alot of these cubans speaks very similar to jamaicans?
These are the indigenous Cubans. Real dark Cubans
@@raymobettyboi9606 i know they are cubans but they speak english similar to jamaicans. are they decendants of jamaicans? they are definitely not indigenous, the taino indians where the original indigenous people of cuba.
@@suizod when I was there in the mid 90s, there was a large Jamaican population working there. Perhaps they have picked up some of their dialect?
Well cuba is only 100 miles from Jamaica. Over time culture was probably shared.
@@suizod Rita marlyn es cuban
These Cubans hate Castro socialism but get a free ride on U.S taxpayer dimes 😂😂. Can’t make this stuff up
Castro is a bully and a tyrant. Got nothing to do with socialism. There are no human rights there.
No, they hated Castro's authoritarian rule, not his socialism.
Just like how Ukraine & illegal immigrants across the border are doing the same, right?
My parents made a mistake
Should’ve never came to the USA should had gone to the base and the navy would had taken care of us.
This would had saved me thousands in medical bills and a lifetime of working for corporations who exploited me
Oh brother...
Its not the US' responsibility to take care of you. Your just a lazy person who wants handouts like the other lazy and broke Cubans in this video
Sounds like you all should've stayed in Cuba proper and enjoyed the wonderful blessings of communism.
🤔😗😃😎jugando domino
Estos cubanos vivieron gratis de el gobierno que criticaron tanto
Occupyiers. It’s time to go home.
