Hi readers!! I wanted to add in some pictures, half are real life and half real life but taken from the Marine Corp Base Hawaii website. Also, some real life Marine Corp cadence music is above. Salute to the other branch! (I'm an Army veteran myself 😂🤘🏻).

My family (husband and son and I) likes to visit Hawaii occasionally as we used to live there. Last summer we went and decided to see Bellows for the day. We prefer to use the military (Air Force base, small, for recreation only) side as it is less crowded and has good showers and a food area. On this day, we couldn't swim because of jelly fish in the water and also rip tides. My son has been stung by a man o' war jelly fish here before so we take heed to those warnings! If you have never seen one, they have iridescent purple bodies and tentacles. Hard to see in the water until they are right up on you. But it was still beautiful out, as Hawaii always is.
