I think I've posted here in the past about the Vets Hall on Kwajalein. It's American Legion Post #44.

Well, it's been operating as a public bar under a waiver. There was no official MWR here.

Well, recently the base was re-designated as a U.S. Army Garrison and has implemented an MWR group and they discovered how much money the Vets Hall makes... which is totally spent on operating the hall and military charities and student scholarships.

Well, like the mafia, they decided they wanted what we had. Fortunately though, it came down to just that we could no longer buy alcohol from AAFES and resell it. And we could not 'compete' with MWR.

So, anyway, we will no longer be ordering special beers and liquor.... So once it's gone, we'll be at the mercy of whatever we can buy, as individuals, at AAFES. (Although, they sometimes have a decent selection.)

Members and staff can still use the facility, but not the general public... as it has been since they closed the main bar, the Yokwe Yuk Club (It's a Marshallese name) down a few years ago... the building was falling apart.

(And just a note... ;-) I've enjoyed some nice quiet times on the patio with my cigars since there are no longer any drunk civilians being loud out there!) BigGrin

Anyway, here's a shot from a few nights ago down there.

Been a while since you posted a pic. Sad to hear about the Mafia moving in. Next pic, why don't you post up a pic taken from the porch?

I still think it would be awesome to try and catch a long drawn out Space A daisy chain and get out there.

Stay safe and smokey.
