Bar fights around central Indiana sure aren't that interesting!

I'm glad they're not.  I think we have a tad more self control here in the States.  Those were different times tho.  They was a big war in progress and very often battle weary GIs would let off a lot of steam in those bars. 
Olongapo at that time was known as the wildest and wickedest city in the orient. :devil29:  And made Tijuana look like kindergarden. :sleeping: 

But at the same time it was a haven and a welcome one at that for us.   Good times and memories.

Your story reminded me of similar stories that I've heard from relatives, etc., who've returned from war as well. Where as almost as much fighting took place on relaxation time as it did in the field.

It's one of those double sided coins, for me. On one side, hearing the stories makes me happy to have the opportunity to have heard them. On the other side, it makes me wonder if I am missing out--will my "stories" I will pass along be anything worth ever repeating? What am I missing out on? Who will ever know.

Thank you for your story...I enjoyed it greatly. Please feel free to share more~!

The best memories/stories come from travels.  You appear young in your avatar.  You have lots of time to plan trips.  To see different people and places.  I'm sure during your life time that you will have done this. :yes:

Thanks!! Yeah, I hope to get out of the country before too long for a much needed vacation. I'm sure I'll come back with some stories then :)

There's going to be another part right? You've got me hooked. I'm anxious to see what the excited and unsuspecting young man encounters next.

I'm guessing that life becomes MUCH larger for this young man, but I like the way you describe the "small stuff" in a way that shows how important it was to him at that time.

I'll stop there and let you continue...I hope. :smile:

Excited and unsuspecting?  Well, more like terrified and suspecting at the time.  But yes, the flight across the pacific and something that happened along the way. :spooked: :wings:

Well, you certainly know how to bait a hook!  :biggrin:

Flight 33 requested that all comments from his other threads be placed in this thread. Based on date, your post was the first comment to his story threads.

When posts are split into a new topic, the software creates the new thread under the name of the person who first appears in that thread. You didn't create the thread, I did, but your post was the first one.

Hello beautiful.  If your avatar was in black and white, you would look like one of those
glamorous film starlets from the past.  Garbo?  Dietrich?  Manroe?  Can you say, " I want to be alone."?
Don't mind me, I'm wasted.
:beers:
Robot!  Bring me another beer!  Please and thank you.

I just wanted to comment to let you know that I'm still enjoying your stories very much. You write in a way that makes your adventures very easy to visualize. As with the last, I eagerly anticipate the next.

Thank you SO much for sharing.
