“The military in Hawaii appreciates the understanding and continued support of its local military training,” said Eric Hamilton, PTA public affairs officer. “While sometimes loud, the sounds and sights of training demonstrate how the military ensures that its service members are ready to accomplish the mission and return home safely.”
