I was a single 2-striper at Kadena in Okinawa and the damn AF sent me TDY to the Philippines for 63 days! Had to stay downtown too because billeting was full (Cope Thunder/Combat Sage). It was absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!I got tasked to provide support to reserve KC-135's flying out of Pisa, IT for deny flight. Camp Darby was full, so got put in a 3 star hotel on a topless beach on the med. God that was a brutal deployment!

You and me both brother! I actually had an assignment to Clark for all of 23 days before Pinatubo blew its load and ruined my plans... probably was for the best though because I was married by then. Marriage + assignment to Clark = potential disaster!I tried so hard to get stationed at Clark, Pinatubo put the end to that dream.
