Spent "just a few" hours there during Viet Nam WestPac cruises in the late 60's and early 70's. Visited the Naval Aviation Museum, had lunch in the Cubi Bar and tipped a few beers in honor of those that didn't make it back.
I was stationed-dito with the Marine Barracks, B Co. NAS Cubi Point from 1986-1989. I lived in the PI from 2012-2016 and plan to move back soon. Great memories for sure!!!!! ---- Semper Fi! (1982-2002 USMC RET.)
This is so interesting and amazing to me. My father was an Annapolis grad and was stationed 3 times at Pensacola. I was born there in 1951 - the last time he was stationed there. In 1957 we moved to Cubi Point. He was ComFAIRPHIL from 1957-1959. I am coming to visit the museum and Cubi Point Cafe and Bar at the end of the month (Oct). I am bringing copies of the original official photos taken we he and the family arrived, plus a couple related to the change of command to donate to Cubi Point Cafe and Bar.
Get Some Navy ,so glade to see this you had to be the top in your field to be stationed in PI ..... USMC 3 westpacs 1978-82 and station dito Company C 1982-83 wish we could have brought back all the Clubs plaques ,Wayne D May club and the Shipwreck Club NRS T Capas
