COMMENTS AND SHORT STORIES FROM EXPERIENCE
___ON BASE___

Over the years that this site has been open, I have had many comments and short stories sent to me from those who have experienced many things while stationed or passing through Clark Air Base. I appreciate all the comments and short stories that many have taken the time to tell me. I thought that I might pass these comment along to you as well. If only one of these, jogs the memory of an experience that you had, it will make this small effort worth while. Hope you enjoy these as much as I have and thanks to those that took the time to share these stories with me!

1) Running Free

Kelly Theater, which my wife and I often frequented, was only a shot of the Kelly cafeteria. One night, after watching "Two Mules for Sister Sara" at the Bamboo Bowl, my wife and I were caught in a sudden downpour. We ran over to the Kelly cafeteria, which was closed for the day, and found shelter from the rain in it's doorway. While waiting for the rain to stop I amused myself by watching the large rats roaming freely throughout the cafeteria.

2) Re-Batching plant

In the 50's we had a Milk plant for Subic and the 13th Air Force.  They had the re-batching plant at Clark to turn Powered Milk back into liquid.  Talk about bad!  I still don't drink milk to this day!
