Quick! FABO member-who is this guy?

My ship docked at Pearl twice while I was in the Navy. While I really enjoyed Hawaii, I have to admit I wouldn't have wanted to be stationed there. Of course my opinion probably would be different if I actually HAD been stationed there. The weather was gorgeous, the scenery was stunning. But only being there for five days each time, I really didn't get a chance to see the real Hawaii. Only those areas that all the other tourists see, and I think that may have clouded my judgement. Does this make sense?
