How 'bout we have a field trip to Fort Bonifacio, or PMA?

btw, anong armor ba yung nasa Philipine Navy, yung katabi ng CCP sa may Roxas?

Labelled : Marines

LW: That'll be an LVTP-5 that is at PN HQ, with what looks like a 120mm mortar turret. In the USA, the LVTP-5 was replaced with the then LVTP-7, now known as AAVP-7. The LVTP-5 has front clam doors. IIRC, Italeri has a model of the LVTP-5.

Re:Corregidor, I'm planning to go to Corregidor this December, visit Fort Drum, Carballo Island, do some serious hiking and camping. I went there 2 years ago IIRC. Just a day tour but great place to go. If you guys would like to go to Corregidor, I suggest we do so next year (summer perhaps?) and we do camping so as to pay minimum rates (IIRC, P20.00 per night for camping in their camp grounds - which is an open field by the beach, with free use of lavatories). If my Operation: Corregidor 2003 pushes through this December, I'll give an exhaustive AAR for everyone to read. Trip costs P500 IIRC. A 1 hour ferry ride. We bring our own tents (perhaps one or two with the capacity for 4 each), food perhaps, and other items. I'm looking for a manual charger for the celphone, unless one of you electronic engineering wizards can rig up a solar-panel charger. Globe has a celsite in the area, so it's full scale there. Would be great if all of us can do an Operation: Corregidor 2004. If we do, let us start planning for it.

For the Working Ilk, save your vacation leaves for this one if we do make Operation Corregidor 2004.

For the Student Ilk, you won't spend too much (you could spend less than P1,000 for 3 days, 2 nights) and is a good military-history/history education trip.

If we do Corregidor 2004, I'll then won't enrol for summer class in 2004 (I found out that summer class sucks the life force out of me, making me feel tired and lazy for 1st semester).

So... shall we? Everyone, speak up! Even you Blitz, maybe you can come home from Canada to join us!

Re: Fort Bonifacio trip, IIRC last time I was there, I saw what looked like a parking lot crammed with rusting M113s/AIFVs. If that's still there, we could/might schedule a trip there as well, but coordinate with the AFP to give us access - unlikely in these socio-political-military turbulent times (they might think we'll steal an M113 or two from their yard hehehehe). Worth looking up, though.

Re: mga bisyo, well if the majority doesn't want to, then ok, no beer, no ciggies, no "contraband." I, for one, ain't a beer drinker nor a smoker, however, I will not object to those who'll be bringing such at the camp site, provided that one doesn't make a mess, in the interest of group harmony.

Muy interesting plan BISIGI! I'll try to drag my Master and Commander if this pushes through. I went to Corregidor a few years ago in first year college and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

You guys want a pic of that LVTP-5? We took a pic of it some time ago. Don't have a scanner though. JMN EB MkIII?

Cool GI! Email or PM mo lang siguro ako kasi nasa casa ang celfone ko. Thursday? Quickie lang
