My Song Memories
Number
29 and its accompanying memory
Oh
boy does this bring back great memories. I am heading to the Western Pacific
(WestPac) on the USS George Clymer. This is going to be my first time overseas.
For many of us it was our first time. All the "old salts" were telling
us how much fun it was but when you asked them to explain, they would just
say, "You'll see when you get there."
Well
I found out what it meant the very first night there. A bunch of us headed
up to Yokohama. The ship had pulled in to Yokosuka, about an hours drive south.
We were told liberty was much more fun and cheaper in Yokohama so that is
why we made the trip. I don't remember the girl's name, where I met her, what
hotel we went to, nothing, but I do remember it was my first time "overnight"
with a Japanese girl. The prevailing song I heard that night was I Can't Stop
Loving You. Well, I didn't fall in love or anything like that but we sure
did have a good time. That was the only time I ever saw this girl but I never
forgot how much fun we had. So this was what made WestPac's so much fun. I
could handle that. From that night on, I couldn't stop loving Japan. And trust
me, it only got better.
