I served there from 81-83. Great duty station. What a shame, at least I was part of history.

Thanks Sammy , I was deployed to Camp Moscript in 1994. Then got stationed at Public Works (BLD 31) from 95-99.

Gracias, Sammy! I wish you could access the location where the old dental clinic was, next to the base commander's office building.

love to see the crash shack area

Isn’t there a road from nagaubo to ceiba that’s kind of in the jungle like this? Not this bad but I remember it being similar.

I lived in the Bundy Barracks in 72 and 73 when I was a Hospital Corpsman stationed at the old hospital. I was hoping the video would show the barracks and the hospital. It's sad how they abandoned the base and let the jungle take over. I remember eating at the Mariposa and partying at the EM club.

❤ When I first came on board we went to check in at admin. then we were taken to the old barracks in Bundy. My husband and I saw Stars Wars when it first came out. It had a family room in the back it was sound proof and we took our baby with us. Thank you for sharing. Oh and in that area you could rent cars. On base only you got VW beetles and off base you got to choose from different cars. Our first car there when we bought one was a 1964 Toyota Corolla. Only paid $500 for it. Great little car. These bring back so many memories. I wish I could locate some of the people we were stationed with there.

Wow Sammy. It's amazing how far mother nature has reclaimed the land. That whole drive (Bennington) was open and maintained as far back as possible. Many beers at the lodge on the greens. They had a great little pizza place up there as well. Miss it. Is Tarawa opened to traffic all the way to Forestall and Langley?

We used to get on the bus in the housing area and take it to the golf course and go play golf when we were 11 to 13 years old. No adults. We play and then have a soda and them catch the bus back home. Also used to spend time and the stables (again without adults-riding the bus).

Can you get into Chicken Jose's? Curious to see what that looks like now.

I’d love to see Anzio Lane. I’m sure it quite difficult to get to as it was on top of the hill.

Wow, so much has grown up! I remember the movie theater and the old high school football fields across from it. Wasn't the Mariposa in that area as well? If you took a left a little down the road, you would go up a hill where there were some old barracks that were used as classrooms when the elementary school was being worked on half of my 4th grade year. The buildings were shabby and there were huge rats in the bathroom building, but it was lovely there under the trees. If you took a right, you would go past the old library on the left, then the commissary and exchange buildings on the right, and I think there was a barber or beauty salon across the street from there. Thanks so much for showing what it's like now!

That was a very enjoyable journey! I was trying to follow along using Google Earth - kind of challenging at times. After you had initially passed the old theater and eventually turned right towards Bundy, if you had turned left instead of right, would that have taken you to the Hospital? Also, if you had continued straight, I think it would have taken you up the hill to where the old Officer's Club and BOQ are/were located. I hope you find the time to make it to both the Hospital and the BOQ/Officer's Club some day. Thank you for all of your efforts!!!

Thank you, Sammy. we are following all around Roosevelt Roads. I was stationed there from Jan. 91 to Nov. 97 VC-8. Didn't want to leave. My wife and I talked about maybe moving back to P.R.

I never got to go down that road. Thanks for the tour.

Thanks once again ❤

Basically looks a little like el junke already . Sammy i was wandering if anyone have any videos from the closing of the base that will be really interesting to see . Thanks for the videos Sammy

I love your videos! By chance, at 3:26 in this video, were either of the two houses #25 Yorktown Circle? That’s where we lived from 1991-1992.

Looks like the termites missed this one. LOL

The hospital really looks good after all this time - Thanks Sammy

Hey Sammy! do you have any videos of the elementary school? I went there for K-1st grade. in the early 2000s The Base closed right after.

I was in 19 A Nimitz from 1986 to 1990, Went thru Hurricane Hugo in 1989, all the units are not the same Ours was two bedrooms upstairs unit. With a yard full of tarantula holes.

Sammy, When i go out of the Navy in 1976 i went to work in the off shore oil field and got my 100 ton license and ran crew boats and offshore survey vessels for several years. Looks like our careers have been along the same line. I also started out as a mechanic when i was young.. great memories.

Sammy, You really did a great job narrating this video - Great job

Funny story - My son was 4 years old and was in the water gathering star fish and piling them up in shallow water. When he came back after scouting for more starfish, the ones he had already caught were scattering and he really got mad at them. I guess he did not thing they could move so fast.

VC8 also launched drones from P-2 aircraft.

Loved the landfill - Got parts off old cars and of good stuff dumped by the Navy. I still have a 5 inch solid brass projectile i found in the dump. Everyone would leave old cars in the dump when they left PR. I drove one to the dump and left it when i left RRPR.

This building really looks in good shape

How come HUD , Section 8 does not get involved in this? Is it because of the politics? Do you know Mr. Pagan? There is a lot of single women with children and poor elderly that need government housing in PR😢

That house looks really good compared to others.

Thanks again Sammy! Always sad to see.

Looks really good

It's one of the better ones on the inside I've seen.

Good morning stay safe. Thanks for the memories.

Great Video Sammy. Thanks for the tour, brings back some great memories. 83-86 AIMD.

Nice! Is this in PR? excellent video btw

My family and i are going down there this winter and we want to explore some of the best abandoned spots in roosevelt roads. How do you get to like the old navy hospital and the hoghschool and areas you cant drive to with a car?

WOW Thank you for the memories!!! I was stationed there 83 to 86, my son was born in the hospital there. Thank you again...

Who is in charge of [responsible for] Rosey now? Departmento de Obras Public?

Great video thanks for sharing just made my day 💗 memories 😢

Que bueno ver que está mejorando la base, deverian arreglar y vender el housing area

Sammy, thank you for taking the time to do your videos. I was with VC-8 69-71. Is the old Hanger still there?

What about the Chapel on the hill.

Do you know if they have forever chemicals on base. My husband died from colon cancer. He also had kidney cancer. I have had lung cancer 3 times and thyroid isuues.

Thanks for the drive. I served with the NMCB-16 during Desert Storm, there. The Chaplain of our unit then, just passed away a few days ago.

Don's Light House. Haven't heard that name in a LONG time (think I still have an old shirt from Don's in my seabag)! We would start in Laquillo, work our way to Fajardo and eventually close out at Don's before heading back to base! Place would stay open as long as the party was going! We use to call it the "PR3 Party Tour". Truly miss RR. Spent many hours at the golf course. Then Bundy for pizza and back to the BEQ... Good times... Thank you as always Sammy!!!

Aquel día nos reímos hasta llorar! 😂😂😂😂,así me encuentro ahora! 😂😂😂😂!

If I remember correctly. The satellite dish at the bottom of that hill was a project for the the Armed Forces Caribbean Network on top of the hill. AFCN did tv programming as well as some other communication stuff. Across the road I believe was AFRTS. Armed Forces Radio Television Service. Which did radio station stuff. I also think there was a mini mart at the base of the hill of Nimitz Drive.

Saludos sammy,!gracias por ese video, estuve todo el tiempo a tú lado y no te distes cuenta !😂 y cuando casi terminas el video, me hiciste reír y acordarme de Orlando cuando le tumbó la caseta con el forklift en el vertedero, te acuerdas? 😂😂😂😂😂

Great video, Sammy. It's sad how this area could be such a resource for citizens but little is being done.
