Sitting in the "Sampaguitta" Club watching the president claim,"We will not be sending a carrier task force to the IO" while experiencing total ship recall..we did 101 days straight in support of Omani- Yemen crisis while waiting for the Midway...they got a medal for 102 days...we got surf and turf with green bug juice...I was one of those unfortunate men whose stuff was left on the pier back in Subic...lost it all...yes I do remember...EW2 Orebeaux
