Five Fabulous Stars for our US Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy Marines! We Salute you and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Excellent show. The only problem I had was the disorganization of the program. I was lost on base. This was my first time on base and they really didn't have signs where to go and where to park. It was difficult all around, however I found my way but I enjoyed the show so so much.

If you are in the military, I cannot emphasize how critical it is to first get your boating license sooooo worth it!!!! After you pass and receive your boating license, then you can rent boats and take the family out to the sand bar. Watch the videos, take the quiz online, pass the written test on the boat with the captain after the in person boating class, and you 're all set! Remember to take pictures of the flyers they pass around during the class, which has all the landmarks to remember while boating out to the sandbar this helped me SIGNIFICANTLY; I would 've gotten lost if I didn 't remember these specific landmarks and please be alert for the coral/shallow signs!! First, get your boat license, check for low tides, then rent the boat (I got the pontoon boat , and we were off. The staff at the Marina at MCBH are extremely friendly and helpful, and even help dock the boat for you! They have all the adult life vests on the boat already, so you only need to bring the coast guard approved kids vests that they also provide for free. Don 't forget to bring floats with ties, or chairs if you want to relax on the water. Be careful for the beautiful blue floating flower looking creatures those are poisonous jellyfish! We saw about five sea turtles just swim right by us (close enough to pet, but please dont! , and it was amazing!!!! Sea turtles are our favorite; they come up for air and eat the sea grass which is on the sandbar floor. MCBH Marina 's staff are super helpful, the facility is clean, everyone is friendly, and they always provide us with experiences that make great memories! MCBH in Kaneohe Bay is an amazing base and we love living here! Many playgrounds, many surfing beaches, secret beach, low tide north beach is great to collect glass seashells, water playground, close to many beautiful gardens and beaches. Love this area! Also, the only highway we drive to go to the south, west, or north of Oahu is absolutely gorgeous because you 're surrounded by the mountains on one bridge so surreal!

We went to the Marine Corp Base for dinner at the Mongolian BBQ. You must be military or with someone in the military. The selection of meat and vegetables is still very good, chicken, pork, beef, tofu, shrimp, eggs. If you want to stir fry in some noodles those are there also. You pay based on the weight as is similar to other similar Mongolian style restaurants. Then you add on any of the many sauces. Garlic oil and spicy sauce were very good. They cook it up and then you can have all the white or fried rice and miso soup you want with it. If you want you can top it off with some ice cream after dinner. The staff was very polite. Not very crowded so took no time at all.

SO this is really for the C-20 that is based at MCBH aka 'The Grey Ghost In military parlance, the C-20G is a militarized version of the Gulfstream G-IV. What makes this C-20G #165153 special is the wicked grey livery and the fact that it was nearly destroyed by a tornado. The plane was meticulously restored and continues to serve. It can be seen mostly hoping between Hawaii and the West Coast, but a search of the pictures database shows it to a bit of a world traveler.
