I'm an active duty Air Force member moving to Hawaii in a couple of months and wanted to see if anyone has any tips for buy and hold.  

I can see it now where crashes in the air happen, technology fails, drones crashing hitting people and also boxes falling from the sky by accident and hitting someone in the head.I think the local warehouses for faster shipping by vehicle is the likely next step.Retail is not going away as some people like to physically shop in person versus online.
