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.

Friday 25 Nov. 1977

"I went out to the (Enlisted Men's) club last night and saw some guys from the division, so I sat with them & listened to the Country-Western music until it closed.

I felt awful when I got up this morning. We worked a full day today and will work this weekend too. I went to the base exchange and bought a tea set. I'll get to bed early tonight."

Although I didn't feel the need to mention it at the time, I ate Thanksgiving dinner at the EM club that night. I don't remember listening to country music that night, but I still remember eating turkey dinner on Thanksgiving in Japan.
