    Well...I only used Chulai in my sig because it would be easily recognized. I only offloaded in Chu Lai in May '66 (after 2 Ops from the Princeton) then we set up a fire base about 10-15 miles north and west of Highway 1.
    I'd love to go back and leisurely visit all that turf again.
    Oh yes..I'm sure it's changed a great deal since our time and I'm always trying to re-kindle old memories.
    Thanks for the response.
  2. Spent some time in Chu Lai in 66, hated the sand and heat. Mindoro has changed in 45 years. The northern part around Calapan and Puerto Galera is a well developed tourist and diving area. The Southern part is as wild as ever with NPA in the hills. Sabang beach and that area are still fairly unspoiled and beautiful. Its a great place to visit if you ever get the chance.

    Mornin'...
    Saw your pic of Sabang Beach, Mindoro.
    We spent 3 days doing field ops and other training on Mindoro in early March '66 in prep for our 1st Op in Vietnam (Jackstay).
    Is your pic telling me that Mindoro is no longer a remote, uninhabited island that is was in the sixties?
    Just curious after all these years....thanks
