Your Name (if you would like it to appear):

  Emily Steele

Base Name:

  Wheeler AAF/ Schofield Barracks

Base Location:

  Oahu, Hawaii

How long have you been here? (give years please, ex. 2003-present)

  December 2007 - Present

What is housing like? On-post? (waiting list, conditions, etc.) Off-post? Any areas to stay away from? Average price to rent or buy?

  It took us about two weeks to get a house here on Wheeler. I hear the wait list is really long right now for Schofield and that they are FULL right now so it may be awhile for a house there.

Rate the PX & Commissary.

  The PX is ok but it could have some different stores, I like the one they had at Ft. Eustis. The commissary is pretty decent but the fruit and veggies aren't the greatest. And its always crazy there!! They are both located on Schofield, the only things we have here on Wheeler are a bowling alley, shoppette, and a YMCA.

Activities on base?

  There's A LOT of stuff for the kiddies but not too much for the adults. Also 99% of everything is on Schofield there's pretty much NOTHING here on Wheeler. But its just a drive right across the street to Schofield.

Active Spouses Club?

  I heard there is one but not sure of the web address

Things to do in area?

  all of the outdoor kinda stuff, also you can always island hop!!

School System?

  Not sure I don't have kids

Any colleges in area?

  I'm still looking into that

Jobs? (on post and off)

  not that many to be honest

Favorite aspect of this base/surrounding city?

  its pretty nice haha

Least favorite aspect?

  Our house is right next to the freeway so we're always listening to cars and such, its pretty crappy when we can't even open a darn window!! Also Hawaii is cool but its just TOO far away from home for my liking!

Any other tips?
