I was stationed in a number places during my 25 years in the USAF. One of
the things I noticed was that a person's attitude had a lot more to do with
their happiness than their actual surroundings. A lot of folks (especially
junior enlisted) spent a lot of time complaining that their current
assignment lacked specific things they enjoyed "at home". Others took
advantage of whatever was available and they had a good time. Wilton's
comments on a place many would consider "beyond the end of the world" just
reinforce this thought.

PreXACKLY! When I lived in paradise, I heard many military and
military family members whining about "there's nothing to do." They
were insane. there are so many things to do, you can't do it all in
a lifetime. hiking, biking, swimming, scuba, snorkel, snuba,
learning the history and culture, visiting historic sites, free
concerts, paid concerts, making music, making musical instruments are
a few things that come to mind. You might learn the language, learn
hula, make hula costumes, learn jungle or desert survival, camp, surf
fish, make fishing tackle, make nets, repair nets.... the list is
endless of things to do in Hawaii. Yet, many folks were unhappy cuz
it twern't like home.
Oh, and it was always entertaining to ride da bus, and to go Waikiki
and watch the people. groups of Japanese tourists were always
entertaining to watch. They always do as the leader says, buy
expensive junk and take lots of pictures.
