SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES AfTer replenishing uniTs of The SevenTh FleeT in The VieTnam and Tonkin Bay area, PROCYGN arrived aT Subic Bay, Republic of The Philippines for a well deserved Two week in-porT period. We soon found ThaT we had arrived in The middle of The Asian Monsoon season . . . noT a day wenT by ThaT we were noT drenched wiTh aT leasT four To six hours of sTeady rainfall. Tropical working hours were insTiTuTed, mean- ing early reveille and early CIQOOJ liberTy for all hands noT in The duTy secTion. Our liberTy parTies, me- Ticulouslv dressed in whiTes, saluTed smarTly as They lefT The ship, and upon passing Through The base gaTe, calmly rolled up Their Trousers in order To successfully ford The Olongapo mud. Several of The offi- cers and men Took a six hour bus ride up inTo The mounTains To The resorT ciTy of Baguio for a weekendg oThers spenT Their Time Taking advanTaae of The base faciliTies. Some shoT skeeT aT The Special Service SkeeT Ranaeg some swam aT Grande lslandg oThers observed The week-end cock fighTs and all imbibed plenTy of good old San Miguel Beer which is available aT jusT abouT any esTablishmenT in Olongapo. The crew challenged The officers To a seven-inning sofTball conTesT and prompTly whipped The aging wardroom group by a score of 9 To 6. The consensus of opinion is ThaT The officers' aThleTic prowess was seri- ously hampered by The consumpiion of Too much San Magoo prior To, and during The game. Wedding bells rang for one of our shipmaTes while PROCYON was visiTing Subic Bay. Seaman George Clevering had planned The marriage since lasT cruise and luckily for all parTies concerned, The shakey PROCYON opsched calmed down long enough for Clevering To marry The very aTTracTive Miss CrisTina Zu- lueTa. The couple honeymooned aT Baguio. CongraTulaTions, George! BRQQM AT CENTERJQP INDICATES A TRADITIONAL MR.8fMRS. G. CLEVERING ENSIGN THOMAS REPORTS ABOARD AND NAVY CLEAN-svvEEP.
