Stars & Stripes article
A while back, I was contacted by a reporter for Pacific Stars & Stripes. He wanted to interview me regarding an article on the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in The Philippines. As some of you know, I was there when the volcano erupted and destroyed Clark Air Base...my duty assignment at the time.
Well, I thought he had forgotten about article and thought nothing of it until I got an email from him about a week ago. The article was published in S&S and online. The online article can be read here. There are some minor mistakes in the article, but for the most part, it is factual and well written.

I was on the USS Midway then. We helped evac Subic base. That was my last time there. It was actually a bit shocking knowing that was the last time in PI, it was like our home away from home (Yokosuka, Japan).

It was a shock to a lot of military folks when both Clark and Subic Bay closed. The Philippines was the of the "Wild West" places left and would have been a lot more fun had I not gotten there at a bad time.
From what I understand, Navy ships are once again calling in at Subic and Olongapo is doing good...as is the Clark area.
