in which case you'll make some nice boy very happy one day...

........unless of course you're a Marine.
It's not that bad but not that good. I give you two little words that IMO, blows away all other US duty stations............San Diego. You want good times, hot chicks, great weather? Of course then you will have to be a pilot and a pilot of a COD or helo........unless of course you're a Marine.
Hawaii.
I've spent pleny of time in Hawaii.........very nice, to small, doesn't compare......IMHO of course. A surfer might think otherwise.
I'd never settle in Hawaii, but living there for 2-3 years or living in San Diego for 2-3 years... easy choice for me.
For socializing, ie, "Places to go out..." I'd say San Dog is better than HI. There's lots to do in HI, but you're more of an outsider there than in San Diego. As for settling, right now I'd go for HI.
I love San Diego, but Hawaii has a much better neatness factor. Why not live there for a few years if you can![]()
anyone (read HSL bubbas) for the Beach House at AUTEC, Andros Island, Bahamas ???
I think it was the "1000 Fathoms" club. Remember the Fiddler crabs at night? Good food at the galley too. Best Goombay Smashes I've ever had at that Beach House.
