In reply to Gene Westphall. Do you remember a woman being murdered by her husband in May of 1954.

In reply to Steve. Steve, my father also worked on Roi , his name is Clark Curry, living on Kwaj was one of the best times of my life. Would love to hear how to get back there as a visitor. I may have a way to do it but it may be hard to prove. My mother was pregnant when we were there but lost the baby at birth. They allowed my father to take the baby to Roi and bury it there. Another interesting thing is that Roi was the same island my father invaded during WW II , he said it was weird working there and remembering the time that they were in landing craft and landed there I wonder if there is a way to see if that I have a relative buried on Roi how I could get back there???

Comment on Ebeye Island: “The Slum of the Pacific” by John J Rucinski

It’s easy to blame the USA for the conditions on Ebeye because we are wealthy and some feel that we have an obligation to care for the people living there. We don’t!!!!
Our obligation is to pay the amount of the lease for the land we use. We don’t lease, own or use Ebeye. Restrictions to entering any portion of the land we lease are related
to security. Free access would result in wholesale theft of everything not nailed down and some things that are. We hire as many locals as we need and pay them a fair wage for the geographic area. Ebeye is over populated with no means of sustaining itself except for the lease payments and locals working on the base.

I arrived on Kwajalein during the Cuban Crises around 1962 on the Nike Zeus project, first by my self then I was allowed to bring my wife, a daughter and son and lived in trailer, and loved playing volleyball against Hawaiians, sail the bay, and play golf. We had 2 clubs there one American officer club, and on Hawaii, the latter was the best. Outdoor movies were a joy, when they were interrupted a little by rain from a passing cloud. Churches were provided. And swimming in the pool was shark free, different than in the bay. I loved the experience

In reply to Anonymous. There is a hospital on Ebeye for a number of years. It is fairly well run with a number of bed and 24 hour emergency area, although minimal. Easy to find the correct info by doing your homework.

I was just offered a position as a Communications Journalist. What are the BQ’s like? Do you have to share a bathroom and kitchen, or do you get your own?

This seems like a really awesome place. However, I’m not a drinker. From everything I’ve read, it seems like that’s a pastime for a lot of people on days off, weekends, etc. Should that deter me or are there other folks like me who aren’t into drinking?

I’m really looking to embark on a new adventure and would hope that it will last and will not be a 1 year in-and-out. So if anyone can share any additional info, advice or encouragement, it would be really appreciated!
