So I love this island.... and I hate it. Somedays the isolation and raw beauty of the tropics is amazing, the next it can feel like a prison. The locals are extremely corrupt and I'd say about have hate Haoles (white people). I haven't seen my family in three years since plane tickets out of here are around $2,000 unless you MAC flight it, which can possibly lead to getting stranded in Hawaii for an indefinite amount of days. The ocean is amazing and pretty warm. Both the Navy and Air Force bases are nice, it's just that island life begins to wear on you after a while. If I wasn't such a loner by nature, I think by now I would have gone insane.
As for a countdown, I never use anything. I have found that the best way to avoid having any problems arise, it's easier just to keep my mouth shut. I have heard and known wives that have gotten in trouble for releasing classified information. I will not be one of them, so whenever anyone asks about the hubby coming home, I say in a long time, we're getting closer, or soon. I never mention, months, days, or anything that can give it away. That's just a policy I have adopted from what I have observed and definitely encourage others to follow this same policy.
