Ah yes, good old 'Dodge' . I spent 2 weeks there when I was in the Navy flying S-3 Vikings back in 1990. Awesome place, we spent our days windsurfing and sailing, and our nights drinking beer at the O Club or the Expat club mentioned above.
My BOQ room was 50 yards off of the beach, and there was a hammock strung between 2 palm trees on the beach. And across the lagoon there was an abandoned coconut plantation and town, with buidlings, an old jail, and a crashed PBY Catalina on the beach. It was truly a tropical paradise. I'll have to dig my old pictures out one of these days and post them up.
This was before Desert Shield, so it was pretty quiet empty. I heard that all changed once we invaded Kuwait and B-52s showed up.
