I know a lot of people don't get to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families if they are deployed or are out to sea.
I'm curious where some of you celebrated thanksgiving while under way. Did you have turkeys brought on board? Was there a port visit you remember?
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
In my 9+ years in, I enjoyed 4 Thanksgiving meals while on "training missions in international waters...." We had a turkey like substance once, but the other 3 were on Surf-n-Turf nights and you don't cancel those....

Not on a sub or a nuke, but on a tin can in the Indian Ocean, steaming on Condition II watches during the lead up to the Indian-Pakistani war in 1971. We had turkey on that Thanksgiving day. Still on Condition II most of the time when Christmas rolled around and we had turkey once again. All we wanted was to return to the Gulf of Tonkin and those Condition III watches, and of course, combat theater pay.
