Hi Kim, My son has been told he is going to Guam. I wait now for the hard copy of his orders to make sure. We have had so many changes that I know not to expect anything until it happens. I was checking out your Guam moms group and noticed that you also belong to the kansas moms. Are you from Kansas originally?

Hi kim! Stuart's been in Guam for about 3 weeks! He's a machinest (my spelling doesnt look rite..)mate. He came home the first of may until the 18th. It was great to see him and spend time together. Needless to say i miss him! We've been able to talk a couple of times. He likes guam. He has sent a few pictures and it is very pretty! How do you talk with your son? The cell phone is expensive and I was wondering if there is a cheaper way ? Thanks for the support!!!
