Sgt. Major Ken Pickering, USMC, is from a RECON Unit in Okinawa and members of his unit were down here in the Philippines for joint training with the Philippine Marines. Our post adopted his unit.

Bob Wright, senior to most of us, in years, rank and daily pysical activities. He used to work in the USAF Workhorse Department "MAC", riding their big birds.

Carlito Pickering, the proud father of the visiting Sgt. Major; not a bad fellow even though he was a 'Brown Shoe' in the Navy trying to keep up with the USAF.

Carlito again, an example to all of us. He has been retired about 20 years and living in the PI and didn't get married again.

Bob Wright, maybe the most active retiree in our expat crowd, although he reached 70 some time ago.

Tom Burnett, a very long time and very active member of our VFW Post 11447. I see him often on the streets jogging while I'm only walking.

Dennis Doty, also a very long time and very active member of our VFW Post 11447. During our last parade he wore his USMC Uniform and still looked very sharp.

Jim Correll also a very active member. Only yesterday on the 4th of April he bought a lot of FRA 367 "FRALICS Raffle tickets" and won a pedicap (bicycle with 3 wheels).

This pretty Filipina is one of the countless sweethearts, Carlito had the privilege to know, in his long 'Retiree Career'.

Ted (Shorty) Phillips is probably the most well know, respected veteran in our Subic Area. He has been here so long, held so many VFW 11447 Post and FRA 369 Officer Positions.
