My husband Robert (Go Go) Gomez was stationed at Clark AB from 1969 to December 1970. He worked at the Base Theatre.  We are trying to locate two wonderful, sweet girls who worked with him during this time.  Their names were Annabelle and JoJo.  Does anyone remember these girls or know what happened to them?  If anyone has any information, please contact me. Thank you and God bless.

I'm trying to locate a "Mike Snyder" that was stationed at (or TDY to) Clark Air Base in the mid-70's.  He departed around Nov 1975.  I'm not sure about the spelling of his name and I don't have any other information.  I'm not even sure which service he was in.  I have some important information for him.   Thanks!

Albert Lee Hughes, Jr
summerbabe616@yahoo.com

My father was Albert Lee Hughes, Jr. He was in the Air Force for four years beginning on Dec 10, 1951. He was stationed in the Philippines at some point during that time on Clark Air Base. He met and married the daughter of the manager of the officer's club. Her name was Carmen Fox. He was a 2nd Lt.  I don't know much more than that as my father passed away in 2001.  I want to know any info you may have about either one of them or her family or anywhere else you think I could search that may be of help. Thanks so much, Katharine

Worked and flew on C-54s in Base Flight. We had the R & R commitment for Viet Nam. On a daily basis we would  fly to Manila International, pick up troops  and return them to RVN and pick up more troops for the return trip to Manila. I have had little success finding out anymore info  about the 6200th OMS. It is as if it didn't exist. Hopefully others may remember. Or know of others who were there.

richlind_1@earthlink.net

Hope you can help me I was at Pope in 1961-1962 I went TDY in Jan 1962 to Clark AFB for 4 months. We went over when the C-123’s went. I worked on these planes when they came back to Clark from Vietnam. I washed down these planes, they had herbicide on them and inspected them. I need to find some of the guys that went over with me to say I was there. The VA has denied my claim of agent orange exposure. Because I was not in Vietnam. I know they rotated the planes from Vietnam to Clark every 100 flying hours. So I was exposed. I have stage 4 prostrate cancer. I is a rapid growing kind. Not what you get from old age. Seems like all of us expsosed have to prove we were there and prove our job. I need help now.. don’t have much time left. I know last names of some of the guys, not much help tring to find someone that way.   Here are some names if you can help….paul robachaw, charles woodward, Airman Trott Airman Raines Lt Sterman and Capt kempe he was acting commander at Clark. Some of the names not sure the spelling…hope you can help.

I carried my love of Law Enfrocement to the Civilian side and retired from a police dept. any one wishing to contact me please do so.

Of all my three years, seven months, and fourteen days in the Air Force, my eighteen months in the P.I. were ny most memorable. We were a mobil radar group and were in and out of there alot. I had a great time there, Fields Ave, Pig Alley, the Brown Derby, and a girl named Penny. Oh how I miss San Miguel beer. The girls wre beautiful, beer cold. and music was out of this world.  I would like to thank the Philippino people for their hospitality.  Made alot of great friends there, wish I could just reminber their names. Seeing the old calender from the Airmans Club sure brought back some fond memories. Thanks for the memories.  Great site.

I spent two tours at Clark AB as a Security Policeman in the 1970s.  The first tour I worked on three different flights, "E" Flight - a special surveillance flight, Gate Crew and a regular Law Enforcement Flight.  The second tour was spent mostly as a Flight Chief in Tri-Agency Patrol (Town Patrol).  I have lost contact with all but a couple of guys from this time period, but would like to get touch base with them if possible, especially those from Town Patrol.  Stayed in the Air Force for 24+ years and am currently living in Colorado Springs.

Kevin Lundeen, SSgt
lundeenk@comcast.net

Hello there, I was getting a bit nostalgic and did some research about Clark AB.  I was in the USAF, my first duty assignment was Clark.  Yeah, I had a great time there, trust me.  But years later I read a book by Hampton Sides, "Ghost Soldiers,"  I was so close to historic areas and I never took the time to appreciate it.  Hell, I was 20 years old.  We all know that Angeles City was Adult Disneyland.  When my Keesler AFB instructors knew that I was going to the PI, the pics came out quickly.  I love that country, not only for the LBFM's.  I was in the 3'rd CRS at Clark.  My job was DIFM (Do In For Maintenance) for F4 E&G Aircraft.  When I got there we were swamped with repairs, within a few months the workload dwindled down to a couple dozen pieces a week.  The USAF did away with the F4 in pretty much every theater.  My stay was curtailed and I ended up at Hurlburt Field, Florida.  I was then in AFSOC, Air Force Special Operations Command.  Damn I miss that.  MC-130H Planes.  Because of AFSOC I've been all over the world.  I was stationed at Clark, Hurlburt, and Kadena AB, Okinawa.  My father was a grunt for one tour in Vietnam, then had the US Army send him through college, and then went back to Vietnam as an officer, is my hero.  He earned the Silver star and two Bronze stars.  He also has a Purple Heart.  While stationed in Okinawa I was lucky enough to get TDY's to Cambodia, Thailand, Australia, and the PI many times.  The reason I separated from the USAF?  I got tired of being on the road 250+ days a year.  Looking back, I miss it.

Virgil B. Vernon, Tsgt Dental Technician
1972-ish to January 1973 when he died at the Base Hospital
lqannette@dc.rr.com

Daddy was from Alabama. My grandfather died right before my birthday in Nov. 1973 and Daddy came home to Alabama for the funeral. He then took his 30 day leave and was with us until about a week before Christmas 1973. We lived in Wichita, Ks. Near the McConnel AFB.  Jan. 20 1973 he was pronounced dead. Daddy didn’t tell us everything, as I was still only 13, the Phillipines had changed my father greatly.  Daddy was quiet when he came home during his leave and I would find him watching me when I least expected it.  Daddy talked about working on the Vietnam POW’s.  How they didn’t have gums for their false teeth because they had so much gravel in their food in the prisons.  That he worked with an oral surgeon and a dentist so that those brave men wouldn’t have to go home looking so bad.  He danced with me.  He talked about Flip Wilson and how they would watch it at the NCO club…. Where I think he practically lived.  Daddy was a very social person.  He taught his son to always extend his hand to shake when he met anyone new… and if that person didn’t shake his hand it was That Person’s problem… not his.  He had a great singing voice.  Not to mention a sence of humor he gave to both Dan and I. Because of my Daddy I was able to go to college and my brother is the marching band teacher in a High School.  That isn’t the fancy name they labeled him with though. I learned tolerance of other people and patience. He had a big heart and a fast temper… but he got over it quickly and laughed at himself many times. I miss him. Any stories or memories of him will be cherished by us. Thanks.... Sincerely, Sarah A.

Looking for a few friends that I can remember only bits and pieces of their names.  I'm the ex of Sgt McCormick.  Was his wife at the time we were stationed over there at Clark.  Cannot even imagine how much the pictures that are posted don't even look like what it was like when we lived there.  I remeber living off base for the first year and then lived on base in the hutt housing behind the bx.  The houses were wood houses on stilts and only had bath tubs no showers.  Well anyhow, looking for Sherman "Smurf" 3rd CES or maybe even Ray Chichon who worked at the hospital.  If I could only remember anyone else.  Ray, you were the one that helped our neighborhood start the neighborhood watch with the nagritos after our house was robbed.  And I stayed with you and Noy your wife when I was left behind after Jimmy boy had to early leave and I processed us out.  give me a holler if you remember me or my ex Jim.

Hi, I was assigned to the 3 SPS & 3 LES as a dog handler from 1985 to 1988.  As I’ve read in other post I must admit those three years were the best of my life!  First, I am looking for people I knew who were stationed with me at that time.  I am also looking for people who might have pictures from some of the bars I used to hang out in, especially during early 1985.  I spent a lot of time in Roxy’s, El Toro, and some of the other bars from that group of nine (or whatever it was).  Hope all is well with you.

John Ellis, 1985 - 1989
JEllis@NorthBay.org

I'm John Ellis - primarily from the 13th Air Force Regional Medical Center, Clark AB. I worked in the radiology department at Clark from 1985 - 1989. I was the NCOIC, QA Manager, QC Tech, CT Tech, Special Procedures Tech, Block Instructor, and Clinical Training Instructor/Course Supervisor for the radiology interns. Whew! I had several jobs there and some I still can't talk about today! I was lucky enough to go to Manila every six months to test and hand select the best of the classes for a one year internship in radiologic technology. I loved teaching the students there and they turned out to be the best in all the Philippines. This was evidence by the plaque I received from President Aquino when she visited Clark in 1988. Some of you may remember her visit to Clark. I remember the SPs on the roof top of the NCO Club. That was an exciting time for us and a really proud moment for the 13th AF Med Cntr. Any of you guy remember the applause we got when the first ever mobile CT scanner pulled up to the hospital? I video copied it from FEN. It looks funny now, but it was a big event back then. I also x-rayed Cory's predecessor, President Marcos, when he flew up to Clark during the revolution in Feb of 1986. I realize I touched a piece of history there and will always remember that night. Colonel John Hayden allowed Marcos to stay at his house before flying out in our C-9 to Anderson the next day and then on to Hickham. I remember him talking about the air crew taking a handgun from Marcos in the chopper up from Manila. Marcos insisted upon going to Bagiou first. I later learned he wanted to retrieve a truck load of money before leaving the PI.

Some other notables I've x-rayed included Robert Garwood (14 yrs a POW in VietNam) and Attny Gen John Mitchell after he was interned at Maxwell AFB post Watergate; just to name a few. Anyway, back to Clark; I've met a few of those x-ray students here in the United States; working in radiology. They came to Clark at my invitation, trained with me for a year or more, married, emigrated to the US, started a new career, and have a completely new life. I'm proud to have been a part of such a positive change for so many. I'm proud that they made a good life for themselves, too. Most of the women I brought to Clark got married in this way and started a new life abroad. As for the men I also brought up, only one ever married a female Sergeant! I wonder how they're doing now. I you read this, I'd enjoy knowing that, too. At Clark, I was also assigned to the 657th Tactical Hospital and went on many a TDY to Korea and around the PACAF region. I probably have the record for Team Spirits and such when I consider all the tours I also served in Korea at Osan, Kim Hae, Suwon, and Kunsan! I was shot at three times while assigned to Clark. Once in Zamabales during a deployment with the 657th Tac. We all took cover after my canteen was splattered across my right thigh. I looked up and saw our PCs laying there, too. I told them, "Hey! They're shooting at us!" One of them looked at me and asked, "Well, what do you want US to do about it?" I exclaimed, "Shoot back!" I was about to grab one of their weapons when they grudgingly got up and flanked the tree line where the shots came from. We heard a lot of gunfire and then saw the PCs coming back. They slaughtered who ever it was in there and brought back an AK.

Another time, I had $800 worth of bullet holes put into my car while driving home. That's at an exchange rate of 20:1. I just heard it's up to 50:1 now. Imagine, guys, what how far your dollars would go right now! Anyway, five Americans were killed that day. Two were shot at the main gate (I also x-rayed them) and one on the corner where I usually turned into Timog Park; where I lived. That guy saw a car crashed against a pole and several people standing around. He walked up to the car to see what happened. The driver had been shot and killed. The guys who killed him were standing right there by the car. They killed him, too. He owned the furniture store there on the corner, but hadn't heard the gun shots for some reason. He was a retired Filipino-American. That was a heck of a day. If you were there, you remember the 13th AF Commanding General on FEN telling us to stay put and his reaction to all the nonsense going on. I nearly killed the third guy myself. But that's another story. There were several incidents I'd rather forget, but they really made that tour one heck of a ride. I do want to personally thank those who made my tour of duty at Clark worth remembering. Especially Gary Vahue - my supervisor and dearest friend who took me on Friday night runs that I still dream about and kept me sane through it all, Jim Timmons - who always made me laugh and enjoy life. What a wonderful family you had to keep you happy, and Flor Dizon - who made breathing a worthwhile endeavor. God, I miss her! I failed to appreciate what I had when I had it so good. It was a lesson worth learning and a tragedy that we can't go back and live it all again in a more appreciative way. I miss you all so much. In the 25 years I spent on active duty, these people were the best. You are truly loved and appreciated for sharing my life in the PI. I'd say more, but you already know. For all those others who were dear friends and became my extended family, I love you all. No other assignment ever came close. Clark was an experience to hate and to love at the same time. For all those things we loathed, let's let them wash away in the ash we left behind. All that's left now are the giggles, the beauty, and the sweet memories of a time and an experience our current military may never know. I certainly never felt it in the Middle East! I'm retired now and have a new career path. It holds none of the passions and joys we shared at Clark, but it certainly pays better! I wish we could be together again. I'd give it all up to relive those years with you. God bless all of you...je

TLMcCaughn@aol.com

Was in 6200 CAMS working base flight a/c (autopilot and compasses) when I first got there on the flightline side of the C-130 hangar.   463rd moved up from Mactan and tookover the space and we moved to a bldg off the tarmac by the 'Leghorn'   In Jan 1970 moved to on base housing in the "new' NCO stucco houses behind 13th AF (2278A Jane St.) which is nothing but a concrete slab there now using Google Earth.   Spent 6 months in 1969 in Det 1, 13th AF flying with C-97s on cargo and R&R flight runs.   When 6200 was absorbed by 405 I worked for MSgt Wilson Minnix in Autopilot.   When the big fuel fire spread thru base housing from the storage tanks in the hills it went by in the ditch across the street from my house.   Anyone out there that worked in Autopilot, Comm, Nav, or Instruments 1968-1972; give a yell.

The internet. What a beautiful thing. I was stationed at Clark from 85-89, worked SPOLA all the time there, most of the time on the LE Desk. My first base and the best of my 8 year career. Lots of good memories. Would love to hear from those who knew me and share the memories.  Get in touch....Peace.
