@tia, thank you so much!!! :]

@ballard.. University of Pheonix and Leeward Community College. Hope this helps.

T - posted on 08/21/2012

thank you! do you know the name of the local colleges? i'm thinking it won't be such a bad transition because we're coming from korea. and the furthest we drive is like 20 minutes from where we live. plus we haven't done much due to the language barrier, so it will be nice to go somewhere we'll be able to explore. we'll just have to pace ourselves haha!
does the mwr do a lot of things there?

Tia - posted on 08/21/2012

@Ballard. There are community colleges near by. My husband and I live on Schofield Barracks, but I'm local born and raised here. It worked out that he was stationed somewhere I knew and am really familiar with. I like living on base but at the same time my neighborhood is really quiet, I dont see anyone out. ONLY kids after school. So with that being said, it is totally a matter of preference. The places near Wheeler AFB (right across from Schofield Bks) to look for houses are Wahiawa, Mililani and Kunia. :) Good luck and I hope you enjoy your time here in Hawaii. Trust me, once you've seen everything it becomes a drag. That's coming from someone who's spent 25 yrs here.. lol.

my husband just got projected orders for wheeler... and i was wondering if there are any community colleges nearby? also what are good areas to look for houses? or is on base better??

I was also wondering what there was to do to stay busy out there. Is there nice places to work on base? I like to keep busy.

Queen - posted on 07/19/2012

@ Danielle and Faryn, It would be soo nice to link up with you guys once I do touch down. The ticket is actually for august 22nd and I can not wait to be there. It's also nice to know that you guys are willing to meet new people and are so openly kind. You make this a whole lot easier for me. Once I get in and settled I will be more than open to participate in some activities. I also am a mother. She (Nashylah) will be 2 aug. 16th. She is very friendly and I myself could also use some excercise after having that one!. lol @keanna you can also hit me up sometime so you will feel comfortable when you arrive. If you guys dont mind me asking your age, or atleast age rang because I am a very young mother and wife, I do not want to feel akward. :/. My direct email is Queen.l.dorsey@gmail.com.

Keanna - posted on 07/18/2012

getting ready to be there in nov really nervous about the move but also excited

Faryn - posted on 07/17/2012

Well if you want to get together or something, take babies for a walk or whatever let me know!

Danielle - posted on 07/16/2012

Omg, me too! I feel like I need to hit the gym but my friends usually go to ymca but I prefer going to the gyms on base. My bfs a great motivator but he's off at mct then onto mos so I don't really have any other motivation.

Faryn - posted on 07/16/2012

Husband and I live on Wheeler AAF...just had baby girl in April.
All my girlfriends bailed on because I cant go out and party, so I'm looking for mommy friends. : ) Also looking for someone to workout with! Husband isnt that great of a motivator.

But, hello to you all!

Queen - posted on 07/12/2012

Okay thanks :) well I will be there Tickets are booked for 8/19 im soo nervous but you really did ease my worries. I appreciate it. I'll START PACKING MY BAGS NOW!! lol

Kathrine - posted on 07/06/2012

Its really not that bad out here. It takes a little bit of getting used to but once you get settled in and start meeting new people thru your FRG group and hubby's work functions its really not so bad. I'm a Georgia girl transplant and have really grown to love it out here. I do miss my home alot dont get me wrong but the women in our FRG are amazing and I've made a few good friends. You just have to put yourself out there. I'm not the most outgoing person but I love to help so thats where I started. I volunteered my time to our FRG group and just continued on from there. My hubby is currently deployed right now. But were trucking along pretty good.

Queen - posted on 07/04/2012

I just got afraid, is it really that bad out there? I hateto be alone and Bored is definetly NOT an option. My husband will be pretty darn mad if I change my mind about going lol. Please advise.

Queen - posted on 07/04/2012

Just saw your post. My husband is in Schofield BKS and me and my daughter are due to leave within the next 3 weeks or so. Youshould come out and visit lol I know No one there.

Tia - posted on 07/03/2012

I am stationed in Hawaii!! Fortunately I was born and raised here. Met my hubby and he is here for a couple more years. I am looking forward to leaving though LOL.

Kathrine - posted on 08/18/2011

My hubby is in 209th ASB as well. What is your son's name?

User - posted on 08/18/2011

my son is in bravo co 209 ASB and told me about this site.
He deploys in Feb. He said it would be ok for me to access this site to keep up with updates when he deploys.

Kathrine - posted on 04/08/2011

What do they have here? Pool? Gym? I love to go work out. Got addicted to it last year after Rob left for basic and have been wanting to get back into it since we moved here from GA. I've heard Ft. Carson was really nice. Rob was stationed there as a kid and really wants to go back. I've never been so i think it would be great fun. I was apart of a Moms group back home in GA and would love to start one here..or even just a group for all of us. Kids or not. That way we all would have someone to lean on. I know what it feels like to feel alone. It sucks! Well i guess pre-k is out the window and I'll be doing what your doing. GA had free pre-k and the kids go all day. Any who, I did friend request you on FB:) and i would love to get together. Cole needs someone to play with and I need more friends. You would probably like Jenny, her SIL Tiffany and my other friend Tristine (she will be here at the end of May). Were all going to need eachother when they deploy.

Kimberly - posted on 04/08/2011

Hmr isn't big at all. Korea was ok I wouldnt mind going back. Shopping and the pay there was really nice. I think next station we want to go to Carson. As of right now I'm staying here too. My husband wants me to go home so he doesnt have to worry about me being alone here but I dont want to pay all the money to go home, I'd rather stay here. Plus my daughter will be in school I dont wanna switch in the middle of the year. The only prek program they have here is 12:00-2:00 cost 40.00 a month and is only 2 days a week but u have to go with the kids and stay the whole time. I just home school my daughter for prek getting her ready and knowing what she needs to know. letters numbers she knows how to add and subtract small numbers. I love being a SAHM I wouldnt have it any other way. I do like to walk but havent done much of it. I'm so unheathly right now I'm gonna start walking tho. I have been on medication for the last 6 months that have made me so sick I didnt do anything except eat and sleep, but I'm not on them anymore so hopefully I can get more active. My husband said he doesnt know the name but might have seen him around. U can add me on Facebook (Kimberly Northern) and maybe we can all get together sometime

Kathrine - posted on 04/06/2011

oh awesome! I know its a big company but maybe they know eachother. HMMMMMM im not sure where that road is. Is HMR really big? How was korea? I'm hoping we can get stationed closer to GA our next go round. I know the guys are being deployed in Jan or Feb. I'll be staying here except for a visit home to see family. Do they do prek here? Cole is supposed to start next fall. I've never been able to do the SAHM thing so im kinda excited. do you like to walk?

Kimberly - posted on 04/06/2011

I think my husband is B. Co. 209 too. We live on the back of HMR on Apuka. We're from Arkansas so we are a long way from home too. But this is our second station. We were in Korea for a year and half before this. I'll have to ask my husband if he knows urs. I've been a stay at home since my daughter was born and she is 5 now. She starts school in Aug. so if we dont get preggo by then I might try to find a job. I havent worked in so long tho. I love being a SAHM

Kathrine - posted on 04/06/2011

It is nice. My husband was a help bc he knows both husbands. My hubby works at Bravo Co 209 ASB. Our last name is Robenolt. Where do you live on HMR? We live off of Pahale Ct. I'm tired of being stuck at home. I've always worked and now I'm going to try my hand at being a stay at home mom. Our little boy cole is 3. This is our first duty station. We moved all the way from Georgia.

Kimberly - posted on 04/06/2011

It's great that u've already made friends. We have been here since June and I have only met one person. I wonder if our husbands work together. I'm so tired of Hawaii already. It didnt take long lol. I don't like helemano or our house either. Lol. I did at first HMR is just so far from anything. Is this ur first duty station? It's always hard beig away from family but I just kinda got use to it.

Kathrine - posted on 04/06/2011

Hi Kim!:) I love Helemano and our new "house". Its hard though being away from my family and not having very many new friends. And neither live on HMR...lol..How long have you been here?

Kimberly - posted on 03/26/2011

Hey Kathrine, my name is Kim, we live on HMR too and my husband is an aviation mechanic/electrician also and works on Wheeler. How u like it here so far

Kathrine - posted on 03/26/2011

Hi! My name is Kathrine and we just moved here on March 1st. My husband is an Aviation mechanic on Wheeler AAF and were staying at the Schofield Inn until we can move into housing on the 31st. Were going to be living on Helemano. We have a little boy named Cole who is 3 and i have 3 step children who will be here this summer. The girls Megan and Madi will be 9 in July and Tyler is 13. I am now a stay @ home Mom and would love to make some new friends:)

Katrina - posted on 11/15/2010

Hi all! I'm new to this community but have learned alot from the posts! My husband just finished AIT and received his orders to move to Wheeler.... This is all very very new to me and have no idea what is going on! He is to report on December 1st and I am working on the temporary housing at a hotel. We have 3 daughters(5yrs,2 1/2yrs,1 1/2yr)... and I would really like to get to know some people while we are out there!

C. - posted on 11/11/2010

Aw, Kendra! If you didn't live so far away, I'd say we should get together someday. I've been having a lot of medical issues, so the farthest I drive by myself is to Schofield, which is about 15 minutes away. Sorry you're not enjoying it out here! It really can be nice. And yes, you probably are missing family. How long have you been out here? I know when I came here the first time, I hated it but I was going through a lot of depression and stuff.

Kendra - posted on 11/11/2010

I live in hawaii but my husband works at tripler so we stay on AMR and will be out here for 3 more years...I wish i cud say im enjoying myself but i wud be lying...Im almost due with a four year old so i dnt get out much or maybe i just miss my family back in cali..

Nancy - posted on 11/10/2010

Well, we lived on Wheeler and my daughter went to school at Wheeler Elementary. I thought that the school was great. The teachers there were wonderful and the cafeteria food was the best school food I have ever seen. It's like a buffet for kids. lol The school that they are at now serves food that looks terrible.
We lived in the townhouses across military helicopter displays and those houses were very spacious. I loved the fact that we were away from the main base. It is a lot quieter and it's more like living off base. The new houses on Schofield are nice but they built them too fast and had a lot of problems with them when we left. We had a big rain and a lot of the home flooded because they didn't build them correctly. Then the wall started to get mold on them because they did not take care of the problems quick enough. The communities are clustered together so you feel like you have no space.
I was not a beach person but I became one after I moved there. The Vans Triple Crown Surf competition should be starting this weekend Nov 12th. It starts with the Reef competition in Haliewa, towards the end of the month till the begging of Dec. it's the O'Neill World Cup at Sunset Beach, then it's the Billabong Pipeline Masters at Pipeline. It's all free but you do have a lot of traffic at this time.
If you like breakfast then you have to try Boots & Kimo's in Kailua. The Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes are the best!!! *Drooling as I speak.* lol There is a wait, service isn't like going to a regular restaurant. It's a quick order in and out kinda place. *Cash Only*

C. - posted on 11/08/2010

Thanks, Nancy! Is there anything you'd like to share with us? I'm sure we're all open to hear anything about the Island. Thanks :)

Nancy - posted on 11/05/2010

Hey Ladies! I'm new to Circle of Moms and this site great. My husband was stationed at Schofield and we lived on Wheeler for 8 yrs. We moved to Ft. Benning a year ago and we really miss Hawaii. I loved it out there. There was always something to do. If any of you ladies have any questions about Hawaii let me know and hopefully I can help you out. Aloha

C. - posted on 09/29/2010

@Kimberly.. No, we still aren't. My husband and his new NCO are actually working on that this week, so hopefully we can get that extra money and HOPEFULLY they will pay us back what they owe us- though I'm not exactly holding my breath :/

Lisa - posted on 09/23/2010

Thanks ladies... that isn't as bad as what I was expecting. We've moved many times before but always did a DITY move... not this time! We are finalizing dates... can't wait to get there. Hope we can set up some play dates... any info on dance classes and swim lessons would be great too! Thanks ladies again!

Kimberly - posted on 09/13/2010

@ Lisa. Our stuff came from Arkansas and I shipped our stuff about 5 weeks before we got to the island and it was here about 4 days after we got here. Its something ur hubby will have to set up tho.


@ Christina u guys had to pay for the move out here? Thats crazy! Was ur hubby command sponsered? The military should have paid for it!

C. - posted on 09/10/2010

Lisa, they didn't pick our stuff up until AFTER we left (about a month after) and it didn't get there for an additional 31 days from when it was shipped- that was all the way from SC. But we had someone there with our stuff- my in-laws. We didn't have COLA or anything, so my husband had to pay out of pocket to get us to the island.

Lisa - posted on 09/10/2010

Only a few months out from the move now... Question... how soon before you all moved to HI did you have your stuff picked up by the movers? And how long until you got it in HI? Thanks ladies!

Elizabeth - posted on 08/29/2010

My hubs is stationed at Schofield, but we're back in MN for the deployment right now.

Kimberly - posted on 08/24/2010

Christina- whats ur FB? I cant find u. It would be cool to meet up one day!

C. - posted on 08/24/2010

I'm back! Got in last night.



Kimberly, you don't live far from me! Malio (the road I live on) is right off of Eena. When I go around to get my mail, I pass Apuka and go all the way around to the other side of Malio (when I'm driving). I did google maps and it would literally take me 3 minutes to walk to your street from my house. Let me know if you want to meet up sometime! I know Shan would love to meet you, too. If you have a FB you can add me if you want.

Shan - posted on 08/20/2010

Hurry up and get back here Xtina!!

Kimberly - posted on 08/20/2010

We live on Apuka ct. All the way on the back side

C. - posted on 08/20/2010

Hi, Kimberly! Sorry, we're out in Tucson right now visiting hubby's family, so getting online is hit and miss. Shan and I have met up a few times.. She's really fun to hang out with. And Shan is dead on.. We'd love to meet up with you sometime! Where on HMR do you live?

Shan - posted on 08/19/2010

Hi Kimberly.. we don't live on HMR we live off post at Kunia in Waipahu. It takes us about 20-25 mins to drive to Christina's house though so it isn't too far. I just got out here a month ago as hubby just got back from deployment and I know what you mean about wanting to meet new people. If you ever want to meet up with us we'd be more than happy to...right Christina!?

Kimberly - posted on 08/19/2010

Shan, Do u live on HMR also? Me and my hubby are really wanting to meet some people out here. We love to play spades and just kick but we haven't really met to many people out here yet. We just got here and his unit is just coming back from deployment so most of the people he has meet are single and I know most single people dont like hanging with married couples who have kids lol

Shan - posted on 08/18/2010

Christina and I have met up a few times with the kids and hubby's and we really have a blast. It does make being on the island more bearable so its really all to do with arranging to meet up with whoever and going from there. :)

Kimberly - posted on 08/17/2010

I wanted to let everyone in the area know that I decorate cakes. If anyone needs a cake let me know and I'll add you to facebook so you can see some I have already done!
