Touched down on Kwagalien

Comments: I landed in Kwagalien going to NAS Agana, Guam for assignment Oct 1958. I surviced mainly VW type squadrons in Guam. I left in Oct 1959 on the USS Shanks Troop Transport. Pulled in to Kwagalien that same month on my way to San Francisco for discharge from active duty.

All I remember was we could walk from, the airstrip or from the ship dock, to the EM club and be drinking our first beer and still beat the bus.

Good luck, Bob Ryan, USNR, AK3 CalCougar2002@Yahoo.com
