Re: Preoccupied with Payphones
I don't know if they're still there because I haven't been to that side of base for a number of years, but next to one of the refueling docks stands about 10 pay phone booths. Just like the line of phone at the NEX, I assume they're there for sailors after d0cking at Pearl. If they've been on a lengthy deployment chances are they don't have cell phones that work. They probably just have phone cards.
I can't remember when it was last that I used a payphone. I want to say that it was senior year in HS, 9 years ago. We had a senior pavilion that had a payphone and the phone number to the phone was passed down to each senior class by the outgoing one, you know, so our BFs could call after we "paged" them. If you weren't a senior, you were forbidden from using that phone. You'd have to walk all the way across campus to use the other one.
I got a cell phone the following year, my first year in college.
