Back in the day, it was the "R & R" center, supply dump and all around center of OPS for all things Western Pacific (WESTPAC!!!) One word..... "SUBIC!!" The dividing line between the Navy base and the town (Olongopo!) aka 'Po-town was a canal... with a bridge to get to and from.... the canal was affectionately named by us...... "SHIT RIVER!!!!!!!" Leave it to a Sailor!! My last venture into 'Po-town was in late '70 before I left the NAVY.... it was a few years later that someone came up with the "100 Mission patch over 'SHIT RIVER'" a circular patch with Snoopy on his Doghouse in Pursuit!!!! The hookers were "HOT!!!" but the Penacillin!! ...a great big barrel glass full into yer' butt was "COLD!!!" Know what I mean!! I'll have to email you a screen catch of the patch!! Meanwhile, just remember ..."WE" knew shitholes and shit river before any of these whiney ass liberal snoflakes were even a twinkle in their grandfather's eye!!!! And who can forget the sweet, pungent aroma of bar-BQ pits on street corners in Po-town selling "Monkey meat" bar-BQed on a shiskabob...but we knew it was all "DOG MEAT!!!"... Never saw a "LIVE DOG!!" the whole time I was ever in the Philippines!!!!!!! No Shit Sherlock!!!!!!!, skybill
