Actually truly blessed with 22 of my 25 years being stationed in Washington State. I am from Tacoma and the wife is from Puyallup.
Hawaii and Guam are great to visit, but I would not want to be stationed there... no offense.

the second time I was married it was 12 years before we were together for our anniversary or my birthday. we were both active duty so it was really hit or miss
the frustrating thing for my daughter is that they wrestled very hard with whether or not to have him take the shorter unaccompanied tour or go together. a big part of her life is also skiing so it was a huge sacrifice for her to go. now they're split up again and she is just spinning her wheels until school starts sometime in January. I did a 6 week project in Hawaii a couple of years ago, I have to agree... fine place to visit, I wouldn't want to live there
