First experience was that I drank and wore a lot of beer. Ran about 5 miles, sang a bunch of silly songs that would prevent me from running for office today.

MAJ Charles Blake - Sir, I would never do that on here. Hence why I had stated that he shouldnt rush to get his Hash name. Just to let it happen and flow.

It will come in due time. ^_^ The more they know, perhaps the better the name. The Hawaii H3 were definitely serious runners. Perhaps it's because our geographic location is all hills. I consider myself a serious runner and I was floored. However, like any good Hash, we had those who remained at camp and those who walked. Either way, we all survived and had a great time. The Hawaii H3 reminds me much of skydiving. Perhaps why I enjoy it so much.

I first heard about this in Okinawa, Japan in 1974. I started running from Camp Haugue to Gushikawa, then to K-2, Kadena, Air Force Base. I was introduced to the Hash Hounds at Kadena. I was running from Camp Haugue to Ishikawa and back. When I returned to Okinawa, Japan, I was with the 3rd MarDiv, HqBn, Comm Co for two years. And I started running again, but this time from Camp Courtney to K-2 and back. Then the same route to Ishikawa. My family and I lived in Gushikawa and I either ran to Camp Courtney or rode my bike. I was transferred to Camp Schwab for one year. Naturally I ran all over the Northern area. Boy do I miss those days. Lucky if I can do 3 miles nowadays.
