Reply #28: I only had one such opportunity [View All]

as transports usually have port call in lousy places. However, I was lucky enough to have a good time in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I saw all the famous places like Morro Castle, Plaza de Colon, the old city, etc. When my ship did reach a desirable location like Singapore or Hong Kong I usually had shore patrol so one does not have to guess what I got to see (I was deployed out on four different ships, both FMF Atlantic and Pacific).

I saw on another thread that you used to live in Pawley's Island, SC, just behind the post office. This is a small world, I spend my summers in Litchfield (you should know where that is); and a piece of info from the area: the old post office still stands but is abandoned.

My deployments did take to places many people never go. Two such extremes were 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle and crossing the equator (maybe we ought to have a Shellback roll call).

Howdy from the coast of SC.
