My
Philippines Page
So, how come I've got a page
about the
Philippines? Well, I was assigned there while I was in the Air Force. Specifically,
I was assigned to Wallace Air Force Station.
"Wallace AS" was an air defense radar facility located atop a cliff
overlooking the South China Sea in La
Union province, near the town of San Fernando. Wallace AS was considered a "remote"
assignment by the Air Force. Wallace AS was located about 100 miles North of Clark Air base,
which at that time was the largest Air Force base outside of the continental U.S.
During my twelve months assignment, I developed an interest in the people and culture of
the Philippines.
