If you change the place names to Subic Bay, Vung Tau, Yokosuka, Nha Trang, Cam Rhan Bay, Hong Kong, Dave and B-run's stories are the same as the experiences I had at the age of 19 - 20 yrs old. At least I had overnight privileges in Japan.
I turned 21 just a few days before I got back to the states. Blew thru 12 months combat pay in one weekend in the San Fran topless bars. Damn that was fun.
