in 1967-8. It was as you said. Only the officers on the base were allowed to mingle in any way with the cast. The rest of us, celibate due to where we were located, were not amused. There were only about 600 horny young guys stationed there. It was a festering rash of testosterone all the time. No women were stationed at that base, due to its remote status.

It was a strange situation, to be sure.
