Puuloa - waiting list? - obligations?
« on: March 02, 2017, 07:19:49 PM »
Pertaining to civilians:

Generally - How many cvilians are on the waiting list for Puuloa and how many months/years to join? 

Generally - how many days a year do civilians volunteer to help at puuloa?  (No such thing as a free lunch right?)

Tnx

3:1 ratio of mil to civ but you still can come out and shoot, granted you help with setting up and tear down.
No requirement at this time for volunteer work but we always need people to be RSOs, target prep, beach guards, medics and overall help running the range.

Thanks Ren!

I expect to at minimum help set up and tear down Anything less is poor etiquette.

So there is no waiting list for civilians?

There is a civilian waiting list.  Not sure how long that list is though.  Info and application can be found here   http://www.puuloa.com/

Civilian non-members require a sponsor (club member, military, dod).

From the reply I got, unless you area AD military it is not even worth the effort.  Hawaii is so lame with ranges....

Why so?  Retirees and reservists are treated the same as AD.  DOD employees are similar.  All of them can sponsor guests on.  We also have a large group of civilian club members, but those slots are limited due to military rules.  I've been sponsoring civilians on through my meetup group for the past year.  I help to answer the club emails, maybe there was a miscommunication.

Schofield Rod and Gun is another military club with more stricter requirements on membership, registration, and guest requirements but provides for some unique opportunities.

Not sure what you meant by "Active Duty" which can mean two entirely different things.  Actively full time military services vs part-time/reservist.  Or Active meaning full-time, part time, reservists versus not currently serving such as retired, discharged veteran, inactive, etc.

I work for gov, but not dod.   need sponsorship.  the ratio thing  (2 to one reg members to sponser) will never happen if I put in to be on the waiting list.   Not worth the effort.  Would have been nice though since I live right there in Ewa.   I just go to x ring instead, at least until I get off island.   Thank you anyway though.
