I would like to be one of the first people to extend a warm welcome to all of our newly (or soon to be) stationed military personnel and their families! Today, the Army announced the following:
"The Department of the Army announced today the availability of the record of decision (ROD) for growing and realigning the Army's force structure to support operations in the Pacific Theater.
The ROD explains that the Army will proceed with its preferred alternatives to station approximately 1,980 new Soldiers in Hawaii (1,680 Combat Support (CS) and Combat Service Support (CSS) Soldiers at Schofield Barracks and 300 additional Soldiers at Fort Shafter)..."
We welcome you with open arms and I personally would like to say that I appreciate your service and am grateful for everything you do! Please take every opportunity you get to enjoy these islands. I've attached, probably, the most famous quote from General John M. Schofield for just a little insight on him.
"The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and give commands in such a manner and such a tone of voice as to inspire in the soldier no feeling, but an intense desire to obey, while the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. The one mode or the other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them respect for himself. While he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect towards others, especially his subordinates, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself."
- John M. Schofield
Thank you (we can never say that enough) for your service and thank you to your families for their continued support! As always, I'm proud to be an American!
Mahalo and if you need any help with buying or selling real estate I would be honored to help you!
