Those who had been here many times before were telling sea stories of the wild times past of Subic as others were pre- panng to embark on adventures of their own. Tisdale crew members experienced such pas- times as dmng in coral reefs, the night life of Olongapo City, racing go-carts Le-Mans style, and playing golf through the base ' s jungle course.
