They rotated through NAF Cam Ranh when I was there (70-71). Great guys. Great duty. Spent way too much time at the NAF "O" Club, and our VP friends loved our little "Sandman Lounge."

But we had quit Cavite by the time I got there. We changed the the mandatory P-2 wash to Cubi Point NAS, Subic Bay. Olongapo City.

I have some pics of the Cam Ranh NAF "Campus" and O-Club. I'll dig them out and post then tomorrow.
