Default Christmas, 1984

A memorable Christmas for me was my first one
away from home at Misawa AB, Japan. I'd only just
gotten to Misawa in November, so by the time
Christmas rolled around I still didn't know a whole
lot of people or feel like I was really part of the unit.

Christmas Eve came and my flight was having a party.
I didn't feel like going (stupid of me in hindsight) so I
was just going to mope around the dorm. While watching
TV in the dayroom I ran into Mark, another analyst from
my flight. His wife and kid were still stateside so Mark was
feeling even lower than me. We both decided to go downtown
to a local Chinese restaurant (Old Miyaki for those who know)
that had a reputation for serving too much food. Anything to
get out of the dorm.

We got to the place, ordered too much food and some beer to
wash it down with. The food was *very* good... corn soup,
boneless chicken, cheese gayozas, wonton soup, sweet and sour
pork, fried rice, and some other things lost to memory. We ate
the whole thing.

We stopped off in one bar and looked so forlorn that mamasan
gave us a "presento" round of beers. Even I knew then never to
turn down free beer so we drank 'em down and headed back to
the dorm.

Walking on base we noticed, much to our surprise, that the Class
VI store was still open. We went in and Mark wanted to get some
wine to celebrate the season. Sounded like a good idea until we
remembered that neither of us knew jack about wine. We left out
of there with 12 grape wine coolers (this was the 80s and people
still drank wine coolers...).

We got back to our dorm but neither of us felt like going in. It
just seemed too depressing. Instead, we found a small little hill
to sit on nearby, threw the coolers into the snow and sat down
to drink.

We started talking. I regaled him with Christmas tradition tales
from a family with five kids. He told me about meeting his wife
and not really being married long enough to start Christmas
traditions. We drank wine, stared off into the darkness and
sometimes lapsed into silence.

Eventually Mark turned to me and remarked on how good our
dinner had been. I had to agree, it was good food and there was
plenty of it. Mark looked at me, nodded his head and said, "You
know, this ain't so bad."

I noticed he was actually smiling and suddenly realized I had to
agree with him. Being where we were for the Christmas of 1984
*wasn't* so bad! We'd eaten a fabulous meal, went to a bar and
were given free beer, we were laying on the ground in make-shift
snow chairs with full belly's and wine coolers at hand to warm us
up, and we were in Japan. How cool was that?

We talked some more, discussed how much worse things could
be, drank more wine and laughed at stupid jokes. Eventually it
was late enough for him to go call his wife and I was "relaxed"
enough to pull a snowdrift over myself and go to sleep. We
managed to stand up, brush the snow off ourselves, gather up
our bottles and head back to the dorm.

When I got to my room I found that the Enlisted Wives Club
had decorated all the doors to look like Christmas presents
and had left bags of homemade cookies and chocolates for
each of the residents. There were also personalized Christmas
cards for each person.

No, during that Winter of 1984, on Christmas Eve at Misawa
Air Base, Japan, things weren't that bad.

Merry Christmas, y'all.

And I think you're more than a bit of a jerk, Sqwertzy. I was away from
home for four Christmases when I was in the Navy, and I can relate to
everything Yeff said. I've seen guys sitting in the mess hall staring at a
plate loaded with all the traditional Christmas goodies, tears in there
eyes, not touching a bite. And I've walked the Honcho in Yokosuka, Japan
on Christmas day, wondering what my family was doing. Service men and
women sacrifice a lot, fool, and it's a shame they have to sacrifice for
the likes of you. I'd love to see a post in alt.sex.stories about how your
parents used a condom instead of producing you.

Yeah, alt.sex.stories.queers.

Well, they did turn down mamasan's tacit offer.... I woulda thought at
that point they'd go straight, at least a threesome with top girl.

You weren't in the real Navy, during six years at sea on the steaming
MFing JPJ I never once saw a sailer shed a tear over loneliness, not
even with receiving a Dear John... at worst they'd get antzy while
heading to St Thomas for a ration of hot dark meat.

It's a good story alright. Just think, if you didn't leave home, you probably wouldn't remember a thing about Christmas 1984. Spending that time in Japan made the entire rest of your life possible.

I'm too old to remember Christmas except for the one around 1971. My friend was teaching me how to drive and we were driving around 10 the morning in Kailua Hawaii. The skys were very bright and clear and hot. The roads were blinding from the glare on the roads. The streets were clear and empty. My friend's 63 Ford Falcon smelled like a smokehouse because his back seat had caught fire under mysterious circumstances. It was gutted in the back and woe to the third passenger unfortunate enough to ride back there. Oddly enough, the materials used to make Ford back seats pretty much smells like mesquite when ignited. The only reason I remember it was that it was the most unchristmas Christmas ever. Meri- kurisumasu!

WTF are you raving about? This post had nothing to do with a *** sexual
encounter.

LOL, the Honch! Have not been there past 8pm but it was interesting.
Snake Alley in Sasebo is more interesting.

Oh, I don't know, Zero. It's true I didn't do six years' sea duty (Lifers
are like flys. They eat shit and bother people.) But I think 2 years'
worth on a light guided missle cruiser doing gunfire support and SAR off
the coast of Viet Nam qualifies for real Navy. And for what it's worth,
the guys I saw crying weren't at sea, they were at NTC San Diego. Not that
it matters.

Now, John Paul Sheldon, go off in a corner and play with yourself.
