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.

Thursday 15 Dec. 1977

"Payday today. 152 days left of the cruise and 647 days left in the Nav. I got $49 & owe $14 of it, which leaves me with $35 'til the end of the month.

I went to sick call today because my left knee started acting up again. The Doc said the same things all the others said. He gave me some pain pills and told me to take whirlpools."
