    The Kanaloa Logistics Officers Association became affiliated with the LOA National in November 2000.  Colonel Carter challenged the membership to become LOA National's largest chapter.  As of Feb 01, we are well on our way to achieving this goal.  On 2 Feb 01, General Lester Lyles, AFMC/CC, spoke to the LOA membership during a luncheon at the Hickam Officer's Club Daedalian room.  General Lyles remarked about the importance of "logistics" today and stated that it is the most important facet of our military's fighting machine.  General Lyles spoke about current initiatives in the logistics community to include the Chief's Logistics Review (CLR) program and its affects on the future of logistics.  We were honored with the time Gen Lyles spent with us and he answered all our questions with candor.  The LOA also voted in the affirmative for two projects proposed by Col Carter.  The two projects are restoring a MIG-15 and having a fundraiser for the organization.

    The Kanaloa Logistics Officers Association was voted on and confirmed as the name of the Hickam Chapter Logistics Officer Association in June 2000.  "Kanaloa" is a Hawaiian word and is said to be the god of the ocean depths and land of departed spirits.  Kanaloa was endowed with strong and weak human traits and considered the eternal god.  Today, Kanaloa is referred to as the god of eternal hope and guidance, bestowing understanding between all men and promising eternal happiness.

    Colonel Pamela Carter, PACAF/LGM, opened the first official Hickam LOA (herein referred to as Kanaloa) meeting on 9 Jun 00.  Colonel Carter was unanimously voted in as President, Kanaloa Chapter and Colonel Stephen Ribbuffo, 15 LG/CC, was unanimously voted in as Vice President.

    Colonel Carter challenged the Chapter to build our LOA based on three pillars:

    Networking and Fun

    Organization Purple:  invited all services as perspective members

    Give back to the Community
