^Damn... I have 14 years in, and haven't seen that many ships, lol! I have done my fair share of sailing though... Favorite ports would have to be Pattaya Beach, Thailand... Hands down. Then, Australia... Anywhere there was really nice... But Brisbane.. Yes, Brisbane of all places... Three colleges near by, and thats all im going to say. Singapore... good for shopping, and Korea as well. I have been 5 different rates... and have had many different experiences in the Navy... gotta love being at the needs of the Navy... sometimes, you just dont get a choice. None the less... i dont know if i would take it back... maybe just a different route. Currently 10 years sea, 4 years shore... so i know what it means to be gone a lot. Anyway, hats off to all my fellow shipmates! Subaru for life!!!

Was stationed in Japan for four years at HSL-51. I did helicopters on small ships so we got to hit some of the ports that alot of people miss out on. My favorite ones were Cebu, PI and Sri Lanka. Closely followed by Hong Kong and any port in Thailand. I was never lucky enough to hit Australia but from what I have heard from other people and from Australians, thats the place to go. The Frigate that I was on was schedule for a port call in the Maldives but it was cancelled due to a liberty incident.

Constanta, huh? How did you like the Romania? I haven't been back since I left in '98, so A LOT has changed in the country. However, I bet the women are still as good looking, IF NOT BETTER!!!! :rofl: [MENTION=3552]danosrk[/MENTION]
