OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

The service member has to check you into the Navy Lodge. He might have to make the reservations. I don't know if you can get in, it is very, very full most of the time. You can call them and ask directly. You can check availability online.

Another option is to call MWR and see if your sailor can book you into a beach cottage. You'd need a car, they're over by Ewa Beach.

There are lots of options such as the travel sites, or find a timeshare owner who is renting out or someone who is renting their house (vacation rentals). About the most expensive thing to do is book a hotel directly by calling their 800 number.

Thanks, that was my main concern. He will be working while we are there, so we want to be able to travel freely

Not like there's any shortage of places to stay in Hawaii. While you're there, there's a very nice restaurant off the beaten path called The Willows. Might wanna check it out.
