I lived near Clark from 72-84. I had a blast growing up. My parents were generous and bought me a car and a motorcycle. The drinking age for dependents was 14 at the bars and a cold beer cost me 20 cents. I did get a chance to explore some unique and pristine places I hope that nobody will visit due to its fragile ecosystem. I would like to go back but it will not be the same as all my friends are here in the US. The place I remembered does not really exist anymore.

MAJ Ken Landgren I've been to both during my time in the Navy, Major, but was never stationed there. I did, however, live in Cavite for 2 years after I got out. I speak fluent Tagalog.

I was never stationed there but being on ships of the 7th Fleet homeported in Yokosuka, Japan it was like our second home.
I went back in 2010 and it had changed a lot but its still a great place. They did a great job of converting existing structures into money making business.
I have not been to Clark since I was kicked out of the Enlisted Club back in 1983 for trying to get a date with one of the waitresses, the Air Force manager when he saw our Navy ID's told us that we were not members and had to leave.
Still all and all it was great times and if the Navy gets back to Subic as rumor has it then its going to be party city all over again.
