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

      Thank you Chuba for being a great team player. He could have said I am the starter and really messed this team up. Chuba is a great teammate and understanding what is best for the team. Chuba will have his time, we will have a point that we need Chuba

      He has 8 more games, for me. And that is 8 more than he deserves for what he has shown over 2.5 years.  But he has them and we will see if he can do anything with them.

      Bryce did exactly what was needed of him That INT was bad. A wobbler the wind then took as well. Ugly. But other than that he did what he needed to do especially when we needed it the most  Game plan similar to Falcons. Neutralize the pass rush. Run the ball. Get ball out quick. Bryce extended multiple plays and picked up a couple firsts with his legs.  Maybe if we had a coach that understood this simple philosophy when playing against a team with a real good pass rush we’d have won the SB in 2015
