My apologies to anyone falsely maligned....perhaps the truth is I am just going blind and senile....or was in an altered state...that being sober!
I do recall we considered a visit to an Air Force Base to be an in-country R & R as we enjoyed the Pizza, Hamburgers, Clubs, Baths (both kinds) and ice cream....heaven forbid I should mention the Air Con, massage parlors, and shopping!
The down side was explaining to Air Force Security Police side arms, rifles, grenade launchers, and machine guns were standard uniform items for us who lived and worked in some rather tough neighborhoods.
