Moving to Hawai'i

Recommended Posts

Thanks to Uncle Sam, my family and I will be moving to Hawai'i in about seven weeks. It all started with the following question: "Will you go to Korea for a year without your family?" Mind you, we have a 21 month old and 7 week old. After mcuh discussion with my wife and our families, we told the Air Force, "Yes."

About three weeks later, I learned that I was penciled in for Korea starting in July 2011. However, when the folks at the Pentagon called with my official assignment, they asked me, "How would you like to go to Hawai'i instead?" I answered by saying, "Oh, please no. I would hate to spend a couple years in Hawai'i with my family." So, here we are. Moving in seven weeks. It should be a great three years.

Def. better than Afghanistan, but I will most likely be deployed my third year in Hawai'i.

Yeah. Football will be nice. Panthers games will come on at 8 until DST starts, 7 after that. They will end by 1130, which will give plenty of time to go to the beach.

I lived there for 3 years. FYI, its very expensive. Be prepared to pay a minimum of 25% more for virtually everything you buy. Even pineapples cost more there for some reason.

But its beautiful, the weather is incredible and there is quite a bit to see and do. Since you are a military member, you can get some discounts on things like flights to the other islands. Big Island is definitely interesting. And you can get a cabin on Bellows beach/AFB for next to nothing although you have to get it a few months in advance. And its probably better than Korea. :)

Let me know if you have any questions.

The only bad thing I can say about Hawaii.... that island gets smaller every single day. You get tired of it.

But congrats on the assignment. I tried the same thing in 2008.... "no... I don't want to go to Ft. Lewis." 3 months later, I was there. :D

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
