This is "Downtown Kwajalein" and the Kwajalein harbor.  The large building in the foreground is the Pacific BQ, with the PDR (Pacific Dining Room) directly beyond (where I ate most of my meals while on Kwajalein!).

In the distance, on the west end of the island, are the DCCB (Defense Center Control Building) at the center of the photo and "Mt. Olympus", at left, a 70 ft. high man-made hill which acts as a tall pedestal for the FPQ-19 radar.

The northeast end of Kwajalein Island, known as "Silver City" because of the metal trailers used for housing on this part of the island.  Carlson Island is visible in the distance.

While I was on Kwajalein there was an ongoing dispute between the US Army and some of the Marshallese.  This concertina wire was a temporary barrier to invading Marshallese protesters.

For those of us living and working on Kwajalein at that time this created some bizarre situations.  For example: I could enter, unquestioned, a building containing equipment for redirecting the course of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, but I had show my ID to get a cheeseburger at the snack bar.

Kwajalein's oceanside reef was rough and sharp and the currents there were intense, but at low tide it was a great place to explore the reef.

One of the GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) Ground Stations is at Kwajalein.  When I was there it was still under construction.

This is the USNS Observation Island in port at Kwajalein.
