SGT Moore, you'd probably get more responses connecting with people (if you haven't already done so) at that location. I joined their network and them messaged some people for my upcoming PCS and have received so much help from those I reached out to. Good luck and I'm a lil envious!! Hopefully Hawaii will be my next/next duty station.

Let me know how Hawaii is when you get there. It may be my next assignment after my assignment in England ends.

SGT Monroe, I was at Schofield myself, so feel free to reach out to me personally at [login to see] .

However, note that we have 1,000+ RallyPoint members who are assigned at Schofield right now - you should connect with them! I have included the link below.

FYI, every unit and duty station has its own page, and you can search for them in the Search Box on top. Good luck!

You can expect to have the time of your life. Hawaii is expensive, but there is so much to do! Take advantage of everything the island has to offer.

Hawaii is such an awesome duty station. Its laid back and really people have that ALoha spirit. You will be a great fit because you like to chill, and cook so this is a match made in heaven for you bro. The only down fall is that unless you like the great outdoors and stuff you will fallout of love soon. Where to live? http://www.carmelapartments.com/waterfront-apartments

Rent apartments on Ewa Beach, near Oahu, Kunia and Kapolei with The Waterfront at Pu'uloa.

Hawaii itself is gorgeous. World renowned beaches, exotic hawaii culture, even though kind of expensive. No worries though, you're BAH and COLA will suffice for all of that. 1 piece of advice though. PREPARE FOR CRAZY TRAFFIC!!! Otherwise, you should love it.

Ft. DeRussy Beach park, Kapiolani Park when you have time and desire to just play tourist for a day or two. Diamond Head hike is a must. If you have children, take them to the Bishop Museum, Sea Life Park and the Water Park near Ko'olina. Mighty Mo and the USS Arizona are closed until September, but they are most certainly a must stop to salute. Also, the WW2 Aviation Museum at Pearl. Make time to enjoy Kaneohe Bay & Kailua.. especially Lanikai Beach; these have to be added to your frequent visits list to enjoy your assignment station. Hanauma Bay for snorkeling and educational for kids and adults alike. Oahu is a lot friendlier towards servicemembers nowadays than it was decades ago... mostly because many locals are also serving and can now appreciate the sacrifice we servicemembers and our families are making. Still, as with anywhere else, use common sense and situational awareness at all times. Enjoy the islands, aloha and mahalo for your service!
