The directions would to be as follows;
The installation is approximately 17 miles from the airport. To reach Schofield Barracks from Honolulu International Airport follow exit directions to Interstate H1 west bound. Proceed on H-1 to the H-2 interchange and go north to Wahiawa.
Continue on H2 (about 8 miles) until it ends into a divided highway (Wilikina Drive 99), proceed to the second traffic light (Wilikina & Kunia Road) and turn left onto Kunia Road. Make a right at Foote Gate onto Kolekole Ave.
Follow Kolekole Ave to the 3rd traffic light (Humphreys Rd)
Turn right on Humphreys Road
Humphreys Road curves to the left and becomes Trimble Road
Follow Trimble Road to the TOD filming location.
We filmed at many locations on Schofield Barracks.

: Aloha Peter,
:
: I noticed your question on this web site-
: (My question would be "Was the idea of
: location change and the introduction of
: women to the storyline greeted with a good
: response from the actors and crew?")
:
: The location change from Hawaii to Valencia
: California after the first season was not
: well accepted by the majority of the actors
: and crew. Zev Braun made this decision to
: save costs and he wanted to use the old MASH
: set located in Valencia California.
: Eventually, it ended up costing more than
: filming in Hawaii due to several reasons.
: Most of the scenes required spraying the
: brown grass and background to look green
: like the jungle and it was difficult to
: transport the crew and extras to the filming
: locations in Valencia. Valencia was cold
: compared to Hawaii; so, many of the scenes
: were filmed in cold temperatures which was
: not pleasant for the actors and crew. In
: Valencia we had to rent and bring all the
: coconut trees, palm trees, bamboo and other
: plants to the set in order to make the
: background look like Vietnam. Hawaii was a
: perfect match to Vietnam where everything is
: green and tropical looking. The ratings
: started to drop after moving to Valencia and
: the air time slots eventually moved to non
: prime time air slots which further impacted
: the ratings. In my opinion had Zev
: continued to film in Hawaii the series would
: have lasted much longer.
:
: Introduction of women to the storyline was
: well accepted by everyone. During the War
: in Vietnam many women were involved as
: doctors and nurses. I don't remember any
: woman reporters in Vietnam however; I worked
: at the front line during the War where most
: reporters were distant from those areas.
