Navy Base Page #1
The Base
As of 2004
Looking from the entrance of the T-Building to the Enlisted
men's Barracks
I remember during Hurricane Betsy in '65, we strung a rope
from the bottom of the barracks to the t-building gate
to give us something to hold on to while going to work.

More of the barracks
Quite overgrown. We had a hard time getting to the main door
and into the rec room
Here is a picture of how it looked back in 1965
(Thanks to Dale Wos for this photo)
Second deck in the barracks
Looking towards main hall and stairway
er....ladder
My rack
Second deck and my window overlooked the road to
the t-building...5 Star for sure.
Here's my rack back in 1966
A little different angle
T-building to my back. That's the em-club roof above our van.
That building on the right is our fresh water pump house
Entering the main door of the Chow hall
Wardroom would be behind that wall to our left
Looking back the other way. Wardroom straight through
that door on the right.
Sad, isn't it.
OK, before we go to the EM-club, let's take a look at
the catchment basin and the Navy beach below it.
Now on to the Beach at the Base
