Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands
After 35 years as an officer with the Tulsa Police Department, I retired & took a year contract job with the Kwajalein Police Dept. The wife, Scott stayed home to take care of the places and all the critters, while I headed off for my year in a tropical paradise. I am at 90% contract complete now and planning my return to the real world. I have had an amazing time and hope that you enjoy the Atoll, through my Blog. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about my time on the Rock.

It’s Kwajalogical

Everything is a little bit different here on Kwaj, the easy slow pace is contagious. Things happen here that really does not surprise anyone. We have a limited selection and availability or about everything and add to that a tight budget will really bring out things that we refer to as simply as being “Kwaj-ja-logical”. Maybe for an example the problem and solution of a leaking roof in an airport office. The heavy rains began leaking in; water following some pieces of rebar pipe and were leaking into the room. The guys were called in to repair it. They “fixed” it, check out the picture. Garden hoses attached so that the rain water would follow the hoses down from the ceiling an into the waiting trash can
