The Military Monday duty station feature on this blog is designed for us military families to meet our fellow military spouses and also to learn about duty stations across the world. We all get to (or have to depending on your outlook and particular set of circumstances), move every couple years to different duty stations that are scattered throughout the country and the world. This feature will allow us the opportunity to explore these different areas of the world before we get there. If you are interested in being highlighted for this feature, please send me an email.

How long have you been there?
Since June
of 2011
Favorite restaurant in the area:
Kailua/Kaneohe doesn’t have a lot of restaurants to
offer, but in Waimanalo (20 min drive with traffic) there is a Mexican
restaurant called Serg’s. You’d think there wouldn’t be good Mexican food here,
but we love it! The fish Tacos are
amazing and probably fresh considering it’s a 5 minute drive from the beach.

None that I’ve accompanied him with,
this is our first together as a couple.
How
strong/not strong is the sense of community in the area?
Everyone on the base is friendly;
meeting new people is not a problem. Also, everyone treats you like family!
3 favorite things to do in your current city:
1) The base rents out boats, surfboards, paddle boards, and kayaks. We take advantage of that!

2) I love visiting different
beaches, there are so many!. The beach in the picture above is Pyramid Rock. One of the multiple private beaches on base.
3) Drive, drive anywhere!
Favorite duty station so far:
This has been my only one so far and I love it!

Who
is your hero?
My mother, for sure! She’s the most inspiring and
intelligent women I’ve ever met, and had the privilege of being raised by.
