Earl I remember some of those Gook women were pretty nice looking however I was married by then and was not interested. At Bobon Base 17 they were allowed on the base to do our laundry. They would pick it up one day have it washed, dried and folded the next day for 10 cents. Some of the Gook men sold rice whiskey in a beer bottle with a wadded newspaper for a cork. It was terrible-tasted like kerosene to me. Some guys in my tent drank it but I never drank it. While there we did get issued two cans of beer a week but it had to drunk in a fenced in compound there the day it was issued. We could not take it back to our tent.
