Moving to Hawai'i

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

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
