 ALL Hands Magazine ð This is the site of the Magazine
of the U.S. Navy. You will need an Adobe Reader to view
the issues, and they are many. It has the most recent
published magazine and archives going all the way back to
the very first issue in 1922. It certainly is a trip down
Memory Lane to say the least. Well worth a visit. "Former"
Subic Bay Naval Base ð Welcome to the former Subic Bay
Naval Base, Republic Of The Philippines! This, in my
humble opinion, is THE best site I have ever come across
on the former Navy base. The site was designed by and is
managed by Sgt. Jim Holub, USMC Ret., and well worth the
visit. This site is continually being updated, so visit
it often. Other military links are on this site to former
bases in the Philippines too. I was in and out of Subic
on 2 Destroyers before shipping over and spending 2 years
at NAVMAG, Subic Bay from Jul 1975-Jul 1977. There is no
debate about it, this was absolutely the best times of my
life. I left Subic in 1977, but Subic has never left me!
Goat
Locker ð This is a web site about the U.S.
Navy in general, but in particular about a very special
enlisted person in the U.S. Navy - a Chief Petty Officer
(E-7, E-8, and E-9). The "Chief" is a breed
apart from any other enlisted person found within any
branch of the U.S. Military Armed Forces. If you ever
served in the U.S. Navy, you know exactly what I'm
talking about. The webmaster for this fabulous site is
MMCM (SS) Greg Peterman, USN Retired. The Master Chief
has done up a 1st rate web site. If you are looking for
information about a U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer (history,
trivia, etc.), this is as far as you need to look. The
site also has excellent information on other U.S. Navy
related subjects. Take a peek, you WILL NOT be
disappointed.
Mango's ð Homepage for Mango's Restaurant/Bar/Disco.
This place is located along National Highway (the bay
side) in Barrio Barretto - a few miles outside of
Olongopo City on the way to Subic City. If you have ever
been to Subic, this will bring back a memory or two. When
you are surfing through this site you'll see the ladies
are still as fine as you may remember and the party
continues. This great web site was designed by and is
currently maintained by ETCS (SW) Tim Jacobs, USN Retired
and he has done a great job with this site. If you point
your browser to this site, I'm confident you'll enjoy
what you are seeing. Tim updates the site often with new
pictures and current events for the local area (Subic)
and other surrounding area's as well. I spent many days/nights
in the Barrio, at Baloy's, and in Subic City back in the
early to mid 1970's, and it sure brings back memories for
me every time I start cruising through this web site. I
point my browser here often and I enjoy the experience
everytime.
Retired Activities Office, Subic
Bay ð This is an Independent Retired
Activities Coordination Office which provides vital
services not only to the U.S. military retirees living in
the Subic area, but to any/all American's who are retired
and living in this fabulous place. They also will assist
Americans who are vacationing/passing through the area
too. The staff are really great people and they have
helped me out with information that I was seeking. Great
place for info if you are thinking of going back for a
visit or maybe eventually going back to Subic to live.
Tin
Can Sailors (The National Association Of Destroyer
Veterans)
ð This site lists Navy "Tin
Cans" and is a good place to start a search for
former shipmates. There is a Shipmate Registry area (currently
well over 21,000 entries and more added weekly) where you
can enter your name in the registry area for any
Destroyer you served on. These listings can really helps
shipmates who are searching for one another. There are
other areas here that deal with just about anything you
want to know about U.S. Navy Destroyer's (past or present)-
Good web site!
U.S.
Navy's Official Web Site: Welcome Aboard ð This is the "Official"
site of the greatest Navy in the world - The United
States Navy! Be all that you can be. Fair winds and
following seas.
USS Richard B. Anderson (DD-786) ð This was my first "Tin Can"
that I served on while in the U.S. Navy. The years were
1973 & 1974. From here, I reported aboard the USS
Gurke (DD-783).
USS
Gurke (DD-783)
ð The Gurke was my second ship and
the best "Tin Can" there ever was in this
"ol Sailor's" humble opinion. I served aboard
her 1974-1975. This web site this link takes you to is
the handy work of a former Gurke crewmember from the 1950's-
Tom Cheatum. Tom has done a outstanding job on this web
page.
USS
Myles C. Fox (DD-829) ð This was my third and final ship
that I would served in during my timne in the U.S. Navy.
I was the Leading Gunner's Mate and the years aboard were
1977 & 1978. From here I would go to my last duty
station at NAVFAC, Lewes Delaware where I was the Station
Armorer. I was Honorably Discharged a GMG1 in OCT 1980
after proudly serving 8 years in the United States Navy.
I'm also of the opinion that ALL who have served in the U.
S. Navy obviously must leave the Navy at some point, but...
the Navy will never leave us and will remain within us as
a Mate and constant companion until we depart this world!
