No, but when I was on one of my R&R's in Taiwan, the plane broke down and we were lodged in a government hotel. In the morning I ordered one and almost spit it out. When I asked what was in it, they said Gin because they couldn't serve Vodka as it was a Communist drink. :) The other places did though. I liked nothing during the 7 days I spent there. Didn't like *Okinawa either, but Indochina, Bangkok and the PI were just fine by me. Been to all of them many times documented on NamSouth. :)
*Though I was there at Camp Kue Army hospital after being Medevaced.
Yeah Brock, I know what you mean. I was privileged to spend a year at Udorn, RTAFB, Thailand, about 35 miles from Vientiane, Laos. Then another 5 years at Clark AB, PI. TOUGH DUTY, cheap cold beer, and hot lil honeys, OUTSTANDING SCUBA DIVING. Numerous TDYs to Korea, and Okinawa. Really tough duty. LOVED IT!
Excellent. The wife, and I, are getting started a lil late. But, at least we started.
ReplyDeleteBloody Mary time!
DeleteEver try a Bloody Maria? Same as Mary but with Tequila, and even better if made with Mescal. Have a good night.
