Got an assignment to Wheeler AFB, Hawaii, October 1992--When I arrived they said--"You have been selected for an early out. (Air Force Reorganization/cutbacks) You have to get out NLT December 1992." So we said, don't unpack any of our stuff. Stayed in a hotel or furnished apartment on Waikiki Beach until December. We walked and strolled past the gay portion of the beach everyday. More speedos and sunscreen lotion--they made sure their partner did not get sunburned. There was no reason to complain--no one seemed like a troublemaker at all...
We left New Year's Eve--boy was Waikiki Beach getting more and more crowded the closer we got to New Year's Day. I bet the party there rivals NYC and the weather is so much better....
