My ex was a Corpsman on the Sacramento, underway to the 1st Persian Gulf war, stopped in Thailand when I surprised him with the news he was gonna be a Dad. And boy was he surprised. :)

There in the late 80s as late teens with my brother and parents. Between the USMC on R&R and the street entertainment I never saw our parents more on edge.

Did 5 days R&R in Pattaya Beach back in the 70's.

Fun times...from what I remember...did the whole drunken sailor thing justice.

And my brain starts the song automatically…

Yeah…it’s that memory thing that gets you on port calls. Haha

Which one crashed their scooter, because I know someone did!

I know you were playing with them sexy lady boys!

therealjackhopkins.bsky.social•92 days ago

Ha! No, but they were certainly there.

All great looking lads, if a bit mischievous looking.

💙 You might be on to something there. 😉

That's not the Thai photo we're interested in seeing, Jack... 😁

Hahaha. I think those would violate some Bluesky policies.

One of the guys in this picture looks exactly like a guy I went to college with. Complete doppelgänger.

davidbreakpar.bsky.social•92 days ago

You’re welcome back anytime.

shunkawakan.bsky.social•92 days ago

I was there once.. ok, 3 times. Beautiful country, nicest people on the planet as far as I’m concerned. Just don’t say anything bad about the King. Best seafood in the world!

therealjackhopkins.bsky.social•92 days ago

💙 All true.

crexpat.bsky.social•92 days ago

They didn’t call it Bangcock for nothing, amirite? 😂

seatosierras.bsky.social•92 days ago

Looks like Phuket before the tsunami? I might have been part of a similar looking group

pauletteparis1.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yeah you are!

After a half year in Somalia or the Gulf. A half year of being on the job 24/7. A half year of missing family, home, holidays, peace of mind.

You’re goddamn right we might be one of them.
