Actually, some people do ship their cars. Not sure how it works for military folks assigned over there, but IIRC, at least some take their cars.

Military servicemembers who are leaving Hawaii for a new duty station are usually entitled to ship one personal vehicle to the nearest Mainland port (in a container) and then have a mileage/travel allowance to drive it to their destination. A few families choose to ship a second vehicle (again in a container) which costs about $1000.
There's also the occasional OPPORTUNE LIFT space-available free shipping on an aircraft carrier or amphibious transport. (Hangar bay or open deck.) Battlegroups returning to San Diego like to pull in at Pearl Harbor for liberty and to pick up families for the Tiger Cruise back to SD.
State residency (and taxes) while on active duty can get pretty complicated, and the state in which you register your vehicles is one aspect of the decision.

We have a few RVs in the islands. They're popular with movie & TV production businesses when they're out on location, and a few celebrities have been known to ship their personal RVs out here when they're filming.
