Heres a news story about the ones in Hawaii with a couple of
pictures however the Navy calls them "magazines" no bunkers...


There's an interesting painting on one of these bunkers/magazines. It
is a war time drawing of a WWII drill sargeant who says "You are only
half way there, fellas".

No idea what this could mean. The base was a lot more than "half way"
there.


More that half way where? I woudn't read that very litterally.
Metaphorically, Hawaii was very much half way from the United States to the
Pacific battlegrounds.

Or perhaps it's a reference to VE day -- a reminder that even after the fall
of Germany, half the war remained to be won.
