Connie Cagiwa wearing Go's General Merchandising T-Shirt. It was a Filipino custom for friends to go out together wearing the same clothing. Subic Marines adopted this custom for weekend liberty. They would go out the gate in large groups, go into a store and all buy the same T-Shirt. Then they would go their own way. The Filipinos would recognize them by their shirts & let them know the whereabouts of their buddies. Connie Cagiwa
