We're on our way back to the gun line for about 2 days, then we go to  Japan for awhile.  After that we stay our for around 35 days or so.  At least until the 26th of Dec., at which time we go to Subic Bay again for two weeks.  I really can't think of anything that I need for Christmas.  We have a very good store here on the ship so I can buy most of my needs.  Since I've been on on my diet, I don't eat a lot of food so cakes and candy are more or less out.

You might ask Peggy, if there is anything we need for our home, because now we can have the Navy move us.  E-5 and above are moved free on orders from one duty station to another.  I think they will move Peggy to Norfolk this time.  I still have to check on that (well they didn't).  We are having holiday "rooty tooty" here today which was a real surprise.  I woke up at 10AM and thought that I would most likely be in trouble.   But I wasn't...

We are in a storm right now and the ship is rolling quite a bit.   I like the ship a lot but I miss being at home.

Love,

Mike
