When you are half way around the world, apart from all vestiges of civilization where your entertainment consists of television situation comedy reruns, what could be more welcome than a genuine, live musical group? The DIXON was treated to the talented group HAPPINESS for an afternoon show on the mess decks during our stay at Diego Garcia. The group consisted of four guys and a gal and their music ran from Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt to the comedy of the Blues Brothers.

Flight Operations While at Diego Garcia, supplies were loaded in a variety of ways. For giant quantities of material, there is only one way to bring it aboard quickly, the helicopter or vertical replenishment. This was a new evolution for DIXON but certainly not for the pilots of the CH-46 helicopters. For replenishment days it was a non-stop move for the crew and Supply Department.

Sports Several weeks after we arrived in Diego Garcia friendly competition began to spring up between ourselves and the people on the island. The Chiefs of the DIXON challenged the Chiefs on the island to a softball game and took the Islanders to the limit before losing 14-11. In more serious competition, the official DIXON softball team came in third place for the island softball tournament. A round robin tennis arrange- ment that was sometimes interrupted by rain finally saw EMS Bella the Champion and CAPT. Wolfe the runner up. The biggest win, however, came from the DIXON basketball team. On the last day in port, the team had to win all of the games in order to become champions of the Diego Garcia Basketball Tournament. After three grueling games, we were declared the winners, and a hand- some trophy was presented to the ship.
