Wow, I was the Security Officer there from 2004 - 2006, when I was a Senior Chief. Ironically, I came down with cancer and they wanted to airlift me to Jacksonville. I refused and took my chances with the local urologist, Dr Julio Cesar Salavarria, I'm still here typing 16 years later, no recurrence!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I don't know about the taking nourishment part, unless you consider soda, cigarettes and junk... But hey my old man was a SOUTHPAC WWII Sailor, he lived to be 90, I'm in my 50s, no meds, no diabetes or none of that type of stuff, 160 lbs, 5'9"...so I guess it's about QOL rather than how long you live!! I've been shot, broke my back and batik other stuff, still walking and talking!
I got divorced from ex (she was also an E-8, USAF) I thought about moving to Thailand or back to PI, but that would probably put me in an early grave!
