Favorite port of call! Golf CO. 2/3 Wpns plt. 78/84
Having been on 3 West Pacs ive visited many ports of call. And i do have to say , Olongapo city was the best! Although Pattaya Beach was a close second. When i try to tell people about these places they look at me as if i was making things up. Little do they know , right Marines!! Its really sad they closed down OLONGAPO. But it will live on in my memories and all who have visited this playground for Marines. Long live the P.I.

Sad,,,,,,,,
By William M. Welch, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES — For tens of thousands of U.S. Marines in Southern California, new orders from the brass amount to: Baghdad si, Tijuana no.
Citing a wave of violence and murder in Mexico, the commanding officer of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force based at Camp Pendleton has made the popular military "R&R" destinations of Tijuana and nearby beaches effectively off-limits for his Marines.
The order by Lt. Gen. Samuel Helland restricts travel into Mexico by the 44,000 members of the unit, many of whom have had multiple tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and other combat zones under their belts — or are there now.
The limits were first put in place for the Christmas holiday. Last week the commander extended the order indefinitely, said Mike Alvarez, civilian public information officer for the unit at Camp Pendleton.
"The situation in Mexico is now more dangerous than usual," he said. "The intent is just to look out for the Marines' safety and well-being."
AH,,, the good old days,,,,,,,

My best duty station was MCAS Kaneohe Bay, HI. I was stationed there 3 years but was only on island for 12 months due to training and Desert Shield/Storm.

Pattia Beach and Pohang. They really give the PI a serious run for the money.
The weekender hotel has got to be the best Liberty hotel. It was at the time.83-89
