Some of the guys I served with are still serving and are in Hawaii and Okinawa. Already read the Hawaii guys' Facebook posts and they seem to be treating it like a drinking party. The guys in Japan and Oki seem to be taking it a little more seriously. Apparently there's little to no cell service and they're using FB to communicate.

Based on stuff I've heard from Hawai'i, people for the most part are safe and had plenty of time to prepare.

In that case I'm a little worried about what we will be seeing in return for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.....................


In all seriousness though, terrible thing to have happen there. Thankful that everyone I know through work and their families are safe there.
