I'll have been in Hawaii for two years February. It is really hard out here as a military wife. Some of the wives are super nice and welcoming and then some are flat out crazy. What base are you on? I have a few friends on Schofield that are new to the island and don't work. Though they have a baby. Then I live on MCBH.
Missing something in paradise.
So I moved out to live with my husband in Hawai'i and I love it here! But part of me still feels a bit empty. I love him dearly, but I feel like something is missing. Trying to fine a job hasn't been easy when you can't do the thing you went to school fore because the cosmetology hour requirements are too high and won't accept my license. Making some friends of my own can't really happen since I don't have a job lol. His friends wives are really nice and a lot of fun, but I don't really get to hang out because they go to work and school. The adjustment isn't that bad since I grew up military, but having something to do during the day other than just wake up and clean would be nice.

I was on the same boat in Alaska. Thankfully his friend PCSd with him and his wife got a job so I babysat their toddler. When I moved there employers were more interested in hiring natives. I moved to WI and got a job right off. Can you get a side job just to keep busy while he's away or working? Or even offer your services to his friends and their wives.
Lived here all my life even if my dad was military and my husband is military. I guess i got lucky so far and don't need to step out of my comfort zone and make new friends. You should pick up a hobby or two. Find cheap classes around your area. If you're religious, their communities are very welcoming. Or maybe you could your volunteer time somewhere.
