In the Fall of 1977 the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk left San Diego for the Western Pacific.
I was a 21 year old Second Class Petty Officer going on my first overseas cruise.

Tuesday 15 Nov. 1977

"PAYDAY today, only 12 more til I'm home! Passed thru a storm this morning. Saw lightening in the distance.

(Later)
Got paid $49.00, more than I expected. They had a "smoker" on the hanger deck this afternoon, I can't understand a bunch of grown men beating each others brains out just for fun. Got some ear plugs, slept a lot better tonight, except for the heat. Found out that Nara may be too far to visit when I'm in Japan. We'll see."
