Has anyone served with 3/4 CAV at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii?

I will be PCSing to Hawaii and got a sponsorship email saying that my new unit will be with 3/4 CAV. I was just wondering if anyone had been with that unit and could give me a heads up as to what it is like there. Thanks in advance!

I am on the 3BCT staff which is the HQs for 3-4 CAV. All of the BNs here have a high OPTEMPO due to multiple requirements across the Pacific. Depending on when you arrive you may be deploying to Australia for some upcoming exercises. There are also numerous exercises on the islands of Oahu and the big island. Let me know if you have specific questions and I can answer them.

Since you have a bit of time, if you have not already, get your Government Travel (Charge) Card situation (Citibank) and DTS account straight now so it’ll just be easier to transfer your account than waiting to do it here and your unit will be in line to go TDY somewhere and they do, a lot, to different places/countries but you are just applying for it and would have to wait, etc ... I’d say if you show up with it on hand, you’re gtg and you can use it while on PCS mode too. Get with your S3 and ask about it.
