May 13, 2021 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
This week's speaker will be John Yoshimori, who will talk about Task Force Oceania, which is a US Army organization recently stood up as an avenue of US government support to the Pacific island countries of Oceania. He will be joining our club's meeting on Zoom.
John shared about himself: "I am born and raised here in Hawaii, and graduated Castle High School in 1986 and went on to UH for my undergraduate degree in Pre-Med. From there I went to Graduate School also at UH and got my Masters in Public Health. I took the MCAT and did not get a score worthy of entry into medical school. while going to undergrad/graduate school I worked in the surf industry during those formative years, which I thought I would return one day, but due to my obligations I don't think that will happen any time soon. Enlisted in the Army in 1991 to join the fight during the first desert war with the endorsements of my Uncles who were 100/442 Veterans and told me at every family event that I should serve my country. I replied to them that I am an Eagle Scout and I did my public duty, but they insisted that you either serve your country as a Soldier or a Peace Corps volunteer.
Shortly after enlisting in the Army and graduating with my MPH from UH, I got a full time job at Pearl Harbor Shipyard Medical Clinic where I began my career working as an Industrial Hygienist. Been bouncing back and forth between the Navy and Army in the Federal Civil Service. I tell everyone I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Therefore I have become a Jack of All Trades and a Master of none. My eclectic personality drives that train, and my dream job would be to work in research and development. I have had previous experience with my own businesses from car detailing when I was 14 years old, to selling car detailing chemicals, to flipping residences and buying/selling properties as I climbed the property ladder. My goal at the time was to build a real estate empire, but I got divorced and had to sell the properties.
That is me in a nutshell.
The Army sent me all over the world to which I had the pleasure of working in New Zealand, Palau, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Yap, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. As part of the "milk run" through Micronesia I did get some time in Maguro and Kwajilien."
