yeah, if you're E4, even with a dependant allowance / off-base living (if you are), is way expensive.
when I was there in 98, a god dam quarter pounder with Cheese was $7. a can of chew was $6-7. I can't imagine what the prices are now. Hawaii is awesome if you have money. I was coming off of a 6 month deployment so I had cash to burn. but I was only there for 4 days (but I've been 3 other times on exercises).
living there full-time would be crazy expensive for an enlisted dude low on the totem pole.
