Just being realistic. I was there 4 months ago and it was horrendous. Soldiers have a 20 minute commute to the hospital for all their appointments (an hour and a half between 0800-1700 each way because traffic on that island) and it is just miserable. I had all my MRIs and CT scans scheduled between 2100 and 0200 at night because I could not deal with the traffic and the cadre that assisted me was garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suggest the poster of this thread see about aligning (being assigned) to a WTU that has geographic jurisdiction to Hawaii.
IF there is a WTU that has jurisdiction in Hawaii, AND, they have a CCU (Community Care Unit) - then I would think for his situation - that would be ideal.
The question is: Does the Army have a WTU with a CCU element where he can be able to get located to current HOR in Hawaii as a member of the CCU? Does Soldier have a home in Hawaii or does wife have a future job there but no home there as of today?
I don't know if an Active Duty Regular can get assigned to a CCU. I have heard of this happening once in a blue moon or two, but generally, AD are usually assigned to a WTU as they are usually located on a major post such as JBLM and others.
As a member of the WTU, a person may be able to get assigned to that WTUs CCU element (if they have a CCU) and get posted to their current HOR.
The question is: Is there a WTU in Hawaii in 2014/2015? OR Can he get aligned to a WTU that has geographical jurisdiction in Hawaii with a CCU and get assigned to that WTU that will place him into their CCU?
Time for the original poster to do some research and make a few phone calls to see if he has this CCU possibility.
Otherwise, he most likely will be assigned to a WTU and stay at that WTU until IDES completion.
Do some research and see if groundwork can be laid and given towards an assignment to a CCU to HOR Hawaii.
