This place is one good earthquake away from sliding down the hill into the bay. |

The Flamingo club is the building east of the main compound and south of the football field (looks like it has a big, white tent in the middle). It's the building with the green pool on the north side. |

I agree with Analogman. That's where I remember it too. I also seem to remember that the thin slot between the big main administration buildings (at the north end of the central quad) and the mountain behind them has multiple large tunnels leading back into the mountain. |

the flamingo club in picture used to bo the O club 68-71. Flamingo club was the NCO club and was near the Bowling center area. Officers were mad because gambling was allowed at flamingo(slots,cards etc.) but not at o club. Flamingo club cleaned up when fleet was in. |

I stand corrected. I was talking recently to a friend who is stationed at AFSOUTH, now called Joint Forces Command - Naples, and the Flamingo Club was, and still is, on the hill above the pool. The building in the SE corner of the facility, with the smaller pool, used to be the Officer's club but is now simply called the international club. It's used for all manner of functions. The Flamingo Club is still there but isn't used much any more. There is the occasional conference there, and the NATO band sometimes uses the building for practice, but as a club it's pretty much defunct. |

I served on the ComSubFlot8 staff from 1969 to 1971. I helped run the Submarine Fleet Broadcast which was a secure space located in the U.S. Navy Communications Station which was located in the southern most building on the the east side of the "Quad". ComSubFlot 8 was located in the north most building on the west side of the quad. The barracks was the big "u" shaped building just east of the big pool (only the south wing was in use), the Flamingo Club was just up the hill from the Barracks. One of those building betweent he barracks and the Quad housed a movie theater. There were several retail shops from the various NATO countries located in the southern most building on the west side of the quad. The tunnels mentioned earlier were used for storage and also housed an emergency communications station. We used to test it on occasion. The south wing of thge southern most building on the east side of the Quad housed the galley. They made a mean grilled ham and cheese sandwich! To get into the "back room" of our Broadcast space you had to have a Top Secret, Atomal, Crypto security clearance. Submarine service was about the last to use manually encrypted radio traffic. Once decryped a message from King Hussein of Jordan (via our embassy)addressed to the president of the Untied States while a 4 star Admiral stood over my shoulder! |

Have you guys taken a look at this site in LL? It looks like a jungle just sprung up in the middle of Naples. |

That's amazing. And more than a bit scary really. I shrugged off all the censorship up until now but the quality of this type of this censorship is very good. |

Wow.. I know it's been a couple of years since the last post. I was in the NAVCAMSMED bldg on AFSOUTH in 82-83. I was an ET. Went through a couple of earthquakes.. scary to see the big chunks of missing plaster showing the rebar. I did have a lot of great times there though. I remember the pizza joint outside the gate.. where we'd run to and bring back dinner. |

Hi Guys, Referring to your memories of 'The Flamingo Club'...correct it was on the hill. I should know because I worked as a girl vocalist/guitarist with a resident band for Mecca International in 1975. Anyone remember Angus the MD/keyboard player? Those were brilliant days & I had an absolute blast! Great to read your memories. Sandie (still gigging in the UK) |
