Marine Corps Base on Hawaii? -

Hi,we will be stationed in Hawaii and I would appreciate every advice I can get. I have a million questions and still try to find as much information as I can.So I was hoping someone could tell me a little about it, maybe recommend a base housing (we have 2 kids and 2 dogs). Will the Marine Corps also pay the flights for the dogs? I know they just ship one car, any advice which company we can ship our second car with? Thank you so much in advance,Sina

No they will not pay for the shipment of your animals, you will have to pay for that out of your own pocket. The only thing they will pay for is up to $550 of the total Quarantine cost. If it is more than that it is out of your pocket, if it is less than that then you only get what you paid out. You will need to go through the procedures to attempt in an instant release or only a few days of quarantine for the dogs. You will qualify for 3 bedroom housing if it is available. The section you are offered will depend on his Rank. There can be a wait time and you will receive lodging for that on base. It is called TLA and covers the lodging and food per day for each person including the children. They do it in 10 day increments. If you are offered a place and turn it down you will only have 10 days to find another place before TLA will stop. You will also be receiving Hawaii BAH during this time. Look into Matson for shipping your vehicle. You might be allowed to ship your first car from where you are (The closest port to it) and then drive the other vehicle to LA or San Diego getting Per Diem and MALT then have a shorter flight might be possible. It will have to be approved first though. For both vehicles you will need current registrations, license info, insurance and if on a loan a letter from the bank allowing you to take it out of the mainland. When flying you will get a ticket for each of you including the children. You will get the option of 2 shipments, 1 main HHG and 1 Express shipment. The later is up to 1,000 pounds on basic things (towels, sheets, clothing, kitchen things, small TV, dvd player - no major things). If you get in housing right away you will get loaner furniture which can be helpful for you in knowing what to ship.Hawaii can seem expensive depending on where you are living now. The COLA more than makes up for it though. Using the commissary will help and you will have several to choose from to shop at. The Commissary at KBay is nice, then about 25 mins away is Pearl Harbor and Hickam. Then 20 minutes from that is Schofield Barracks. Just go with a positive attitude, be respectful, don t do everything in the first few weeks or months span it out, and if you get a chance go to the other islands.

Hi SIna,The USMC will not pay for the second car. The auto shippers are all pretty much the same, 99% of vehicles get here with no damage, or they would go out of business. I would shop by price. Many people drive to the West Coast for a nice vacation and ship their cars out of a major cisy, such as SF, Seattle, or LA.When you start looking for housing on Oahu, talk to other members in your unit, or your husband s. I have never been a fan of base housing, I would live off base, since the BAH is not bad for Honolulu County.Feel free to send me an email if you have specific questions.

My nephew is at scofield over there and loves it.He said the people over there are friendly and the only down point is every thing is expensive.There are lots of things to do including going to the beach.He recently took surfing lessons from some of the guys on base.You will have to check about the dogs some bases only allow a certain size dog.

I thought the military had left Hawaii. It is long overdue.

Is there a designated smoking area at the San Jose airport? -

Where is it?! They keep saying to not smoke anywhere except the smoking sections, but where the **** are they? I looked for a straight hour and couldn t find it...

In the A terminal there used to be a smoking area in a glass room. It may be gone now. I think the C terminal you have to go out onto the observation deck outside by the tarmac. That may have since vanquished too. Im glad I don t have that problem anymore. I miss smoking and all, but quiting has a lot more perks than not, especially since public ordinances have all but banned smoking anywhere in public. Seems to make quiting easier in the long run.

If you are inside the gate area, there is no longer a smoking area. You can go out of the gate area, through security, walk over the breezeway (if you are in terminal A), and through the doors that lead to the short term parking. I believe they have smoking receptacles right by the door there. The downside to this is the need to go back through security to get back to the gates. So unless you have a pretty long layover, you won t have time.You can also go down to baggage claim and slip out the door to the curbside, but again, you will need to go back through security.

You can t smoke at the airport. Thank goodness it s smoke free!

This is why I miss Europe...I smoked while waitin for my planes...:) yay!

Is luggage allowed on the Deuce? -

Is luggage allowed on the Deuce? If it is, then what are the restrictions? Tell me all u know.

Practically you are not allowed to bring onboard and object that is too large to fit between passenger seats and this include luggages. However you can get away with bringing luggage onboard if the bus is not crowded. The only problem with that is that the Deuce is always crowded.http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/cat.php

You can do it if the luggage is not too large. Would be best if using it very early in the morning when not so crowded.

Born with a new york accent??? -

could you have a new york accent if you weren t born there?like say you were ten and moved to the Bronx then lived there for five years would you have a new york accent?i feel like such a tard asking this.

No, between zero and three years of age your basic accent will be formed for life. It cannot change. However, if you move to another region at let us say 10 then you will incorporate some regional phonetic sayings in your speech. However, the natives of that region will notice your basic accent.

You may be able to get one, but the best way for you to get a New York accent would be for you to live in Brookyln.Us folk that live in Brookyln have thick Brooklyn accents. However, there are less and less people that have a New York accent these days.However, practically everyone that has a New York accent was born and grew up in New York.

yes, you pick up the accent without knowing it especially if you are surrounded by it when you are young. I m from NY, I don t think I have an accent, but if I travel anywhere in the country, they ask me if I am from NY as soon as I open my mouth but I was born in California.

as we are humans of habit we would adapt to the environment we are in meaning after a while you will probably start picking up accents or different terms used in that area! and that will be any where you go unless your main purpose is to not be like that then yeah but subconsciously you are going to pick it up

You ll be able to hear it yourself when you record your voice play it back. I m aware the person with the accent cannot hear it himself when speaking to others.

Yes your dialect can change when you ve been in a place long enough where everyone speaks a certain way.

Bronx is in NY it s a borough one of the 5 can name all of the 5?

Yes I believe you are what is called a Poser! ??? :/

Whats it like living in San Francisco? -

The goods:1. Affordable groceries.2. Public transportation can get you almost anywhere within the city of San Francisco.3. There are restaurants and entertainment to keep you up till 2 am.4. Depending upon the neighborhood; where I live is quite noise during the nights, but you feel occupied.5. The views.The bads:1. Safety-wise of public transportation. 2. The city doesn t have parking spaces.3. Trying to get around the city with a car is tricky. You need to know about upcoming events. 4. The city has too many laws/requirements. Kinda like a liberal government with communist laws.5. A high standard of living.

well expensive you are in a tourist spot no where to park and cold. and the cons in its on oneway it likes lasv egas or new york it the little that doesn t sleep rights for everyone and also lots of jobs.

It s pretty similar to living in any other medium to large US city.

Enjoyable. Lots of stuff going on. A bit expensive but that s literally the price you pay to live somewhere fun.
