SCHOFIELD. BARRACKS, Sept. ).
In spite of the fact that here in
Hawaii the army is doing foreign
service" many officers are asking
for an extension Of one or two years.
Officers who have completed their
tour and gone back to the mainland
write back to friends of the longing
they have for this Land of Paradise,
and that those who asked to remain
an extra year were surely wise in
their time" ....
Where, for the army, Is there a
station to compare with Schofield?
There is no other place where the
climate permits one to enjoy for the
entire year, dancing, golf, tennis, rid
ing, motoring, and swimming. To be
sure there are many places where all
these diversions are INDUCED in the
year around, but not with the keen
enjoyment and comfort as here at
Schofield. Furthermore, being the
largest post in the army, there are
more social activities here.
