My first taste too. 1975. If I remember correctly (it was my first experience with Mai Tai's) the O club was a couple of grass shacks down by the beach. Still has probably the nicest stretch of beach on Wacky Wacky. I hope that it stays there forever and many many military people get to enjoy it. I especially like the fact that enlisted pay less to stay there than officers.
