lol Thanks as I grew up in the Philippines as an AF brat. We were allowed to go to bars when we hit our freshman year in HS. For some odd reason they pronounce F as a P.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I have a sad story lol. My father befriended a Filipino billionaire ($) who proposed that I should marry one of his beautiful daughters. He told me that after I got married.

Every Friday I had a roll of 400 pesos. At that time I could buy San Miguel for two pesos. I essentially funded the partying for others.

LTC Jeff Shearer I Only Spent a week in the PI but while on Dodge for a Year I was frequently found in the Filipino Village and the Most Significant "Other" community in the Navy is Filipino. Needless to say I developed a taste for Filipino Food. When My Chris was I think 4 He would hang out with the Filipino Neighbors in London. He would come back in the House with a Whole Plate of Lumpia or Pancit and I'd Take it and eat it, He'd Just go back with the Plate and Our Neighbor would just Laugh "Dad, Stole All Your Lumpia didn't He" "Yep" She'd Load Him Up Again.
