As it is now
February 2004
I will be explaining the base to visitors who aren't familiar with it also
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.
Jim (Radioman) and his wife

Nick (Electrician) and his wife
Joan in the background
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.
Again, here's how it looked 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 wasn't
there in '65.
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.
