Thanks for reading and please share your experiences with me on my FB group, HAWAII MILITARY LIFE, so we can help others. I mainly post Local Hawaii events and information in that group. And if you are retiring or transitioning, please join our HAWAII MILITARY RETIRED VETERANS LIFE Facebook group.
HAWAII MILITARY LIFE is a recently created FB group. We try to look for a lot of FREE events or discounts for Military. We also post PCS info, buying a car, pet info, BAH, and anything related to Military command events in Hawaii. This group is NOT FOR PROFIT so we are REAL DoD families helping each other. You can search through our Facebook site using key words on the left column. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483172141727626/

MAP OF CAMP SMITH
If you work on Camp Smith there's no commissary. Your nearest commissary is the Pearl Harbor Naval commissary about 15 min away in PH (next to Airport). Or Hickam AFB next to HNL.
If you live in Mililani, Waikele, Ewa, Makakilo, and Kapolei your nearest commissary is Schofield.
If you live in Windward side your nearest commissary is Kaneohe MCB.
You will probably want to know where all the commissaries are on Oahu because you'll find food is outrageously expensive here. I drive 11 miles to PH just to go to the commissary and we save about 30% on the bill. 👍
