Has it been 4 years since my last entry? Lots of changes in regard to our own careers, life path, and roles in life as well as others. For starters, the war has ended! The Japanese has surrendered at the beginning of this month after the atomic bomb a month ago. The German have already … Continue reading September 15, 1945 (epilogue)

March 1942
The last 3 months have been...well...alot. The original plan prior to the attacks is to fly home for the holidays to be with mom and dad. But since there are no "civilian" flights coming in or out of Hawaii, we're stuck. Luckily, the Chlebecks (yes, Johnny is alive) made sure that Christmas wasn't ruined because … Continue reading March 1942
December 8, 1941 Beach house 1000
The last 24 hours have not been the same. Hours later, the martial law begin to take affect to protect us with rules like blackouts, curfews, and other restrictions. We knew war was going to start before the president even announced it this morning. A date which will live in infamy...what a title. Any disastrous … Continue reading December 8, 1941 Beach house 1000
December 7, 1941 Beach house 0745
Last night was the best night of my life. We made out, didn't give into temptation, no monkey business, and slept in the same bed. I woke up with us still in our undergarments, Danny's arms spread out. He probably could tell that I've already woken up because he stretched his arms out and eventually … Continue reading December 7, 1941 Beach house 0745
December 6, 1941 Ford Island 1730
This week, we've been really really busy. Been working doubles and overtimes. Why? Since Thanksgiving, the military has had no signal of the Japanese military. They could be anywhere in the Pacific. Toward Hawaii, south, north, anywhere, and it's scary. Turner wants to make sure that we are prepared enough with upgraded planes and no … Continue reading December 6, 1941 Ford Island 1730
November 27, 1941
The last two weeks have been a roller coaster, mainly of emotions. Since that first date, I haven't been myself around Danny, which is not normal. I feel like I have to hold my breath, hold myself together whenever I'm around him. Whenever he touches me, I tense up; which follows with him asking what's … Continue reading November 27, 1941
November 14, 1941 beach house 1800
The last two days have been long and drip. Why? The date with Danny of course! This is actually my first date ever. I've never been on a date, not in junior high or senior high school, and definitely not in college! Knowing the dating rules around here, it wouldn't be right to ask a … Continue reading November 14, 1941 beach house 1800
November 12, 1941
It's been a hectic few months, building, repairing planes, also making a few upgrades that some higher ranking officials offered. Every time I worked in those hangars, I'd come home and run outta gas. This is actually the norm for me oddly enough. My dad would call me a ol' car battery stuck in the … Continue reading November 12, 1941
August 9, 1941, Huna Koa airfield 1000
I didn't do much the night before except get a bite to eat nearby. I woke up bright and early to go to Huna Koa airfield. Upon arrival, it is exactly what the name means. Just a few miles away from the main airfield on Ford's island it is well hidden except for a paved … Continue reading August 9, 1941, Huna Koa airfield 1000
August 8,1941, Daniel K Inouye Airport 1500
Aloha from Hawaii! After 4,300 miles, roughly 10-16 hours and 6 time zones later, I made it. As soon as I stepped off the plane, a warm tropical breeze nearly swept my dress away. Facing south of the airport is Waikiki and Diamond head. It looks very similar to the postcards showing Hawaii (minus the … Continue reading August 8,1941, Daniel K Inouye Airport 1500
