I visited Diego Garcia around 1980 during a trip from Australia to the Netherlands. Normally we would visit the seychell islands but another large navy fleet was already there. We only stayed for 1 weekend. I remember the beauty of the nature but also that there was nothing at all to do for a navy-guy 22 years old... Kind regards A.Peet 3 Sun May 08 2011 - 12:01:15 Fullname: Paul B.

I enjoyed the guestbook entries full of stories, the pictures and everything else on your site! Kinda wish I could spend some time on Diego Garcia, as i think it'd be an expierience I'd never forgot.. but my career doesn't lend itself to being needed on Diego Garcia. 4 Sat May 07 2011 - 21:10:36 Fullname: James A.

Thanks for the pictures and reviving the memories. 6 Fri February 25 2011 - 09:44:14 Fullname: Stephen E Scott Rate/Rank: Civilian Email: stevescott266@gmail.com Where are your from?: Houston, Texas USA Comments: I was on DG single status for approximately one year (1986) working for the construction contractor Raymond-Brown & Root-Mowlem (RBRM). The company was there since about 1982 but I only there for the final year of the contract. We constructed and reconstructed much of the infrastructure including living quarters, gymnasium addition, laundry, control tower, SAC building, ASRT, GEODESS, runway improvement, aircraft apron, roads and may other projects. DG is a beautiful place. I wish I could take my wife there to show her what she was missing while I was missing her. 7 Tue January 25 2011 - 05:35:51 Fullname: Allen Cecil Rate/Rank: CM3 Email: allen.cecil@us.army.mil Where are your from?: North Pole Alaska Comments: seen the rock for 12 months from 78=79 great snorkeling and sailing. otherwise without women. 8 Fri December 31 2010 - 14:19:23 Fullname: Bob Eheler Rate/Rank: AX/E-4 Email: eheler@clearwire.net Where are your from?: Kaneohe, Hawaii Comments: I was attached to the VP-6 Blue Sharks.

Our ship was painted white for the excursion to DG, carried UDT to blow-up a reef (to allow our ship in to beach) and carried CB's to begin construction of a base, crude buildings, roadways, and runway. This was in 1970 and it was being prepared as a strategic airbase for B-52's during the Vietnam War. We were the first military people on the island. We removed the native people and placed them in Mauritius. Our ship made a couple returning trips in 1970 and 1971. My memories of DG are that of a lucious tropical island with white sand beaches as far as the eye could see, palm trees with coconuts (and coconut crabs), turquois water with sharks and mana-rays, and lots of sunshine! I loved it, but I wasn't "stationed" there, just made personnel and supply runs a few times. I always thought it to be rather funny that DG had a Spanish name, yet was a British held island, the native people were black, and spoke French! Hope all of you stationed there enjoyed your tour. 10 Thu November 25 2010 - 12:24:22 Fullname: Michael Roseberry Rate/Rank: ETN2 Email: lofty15@roadrunner.com Where are your from?: Waverly, Ohio Comments: I worked at T-Site from 1978-1980. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >>
