Glad they have a site out there. I have heard it is an awesome time out tehre, but depending on your paygrade, can be a little overwhelming at times. No worries though. A couple guys said they were supposed to be building a new track. I pray they do.

What branch you in or why are you leaving?

You'll like Hawaii. I was stationed there for 14 years (1990-2004) and would go back in a second. The cost of living is manageable and often times Walmart will beat the NEX on prices. The commissary will save you tons of money.

There are hotrods everywhere. When I would cruise with Hawaiian Island Camaros the first gens would come out of the woodwork.

Best of luck to you on your transfer.
