"Bennies" were the transvestite hookers that would prey on the newbie

good from a distance though. They must have come (pun intended) later
than your tour.

They were there in early and mid 1980s. I had a few run-ins with them
while trying to deal with Naples traffic and once on Shore Patrol duty.

There were a lot of the campfire girls across the road from the Humpty
wall.

Ah, the campfire girls. What memories!

BTW, Humpty was a dumpy old woman when I saw her. I never saw her
talking with a "customer".

Don't know that one.

Naples was a good port for a frigate. We tied up to the outer seawall,
had a "hamburger" from a hot dog style cart and cheap cabs were waiting
for the long trek around the seawall to the port center.

What ship were you on? I visited Naples in a frigate and a DDG, and was
assigned there TDY briefly waiting on a court-martial case; they
assigned me as a driver (boy that really made clear what a different
world it is).

Remember the phrase "Me Johnny Questo, Riccione?"
Buy anything off the hey-joes?
