Prayermom- I contacted my son for the realtor information. He said he would contact her to see if she was available. If she is I’ll private message you the information. It might be a few days with the time difference.

prayermom- your son should have a sponsor to help him with any of his needs and answer any of his questions. My son used a realtor for his housing Housing in Guam has to approved and inspected by Navy housing too.

Navymom- my son went into the Navy in 2011 on an EOD contract. Guam was his first duty station after the EOD pipeline. He was in Guam from March 2013 until August of 2020.
There’s so much to history on the island. There’s a museum just outside the Navy base that’s nice, also there’s the area where the US stormed Guam to take the island bake from Japan in 1944. There’s really so much to see. If you have any questions, ask hopefully I can find the answers from my son or daughter in law, she from Guam.

Good beautiful cold morning! Glad to see some conversation coming back around. Hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday season and got to see your son or daughter.
My son also is headed to Guam for the first time. He seems very excited about the opportunity. However, it is a long way from home for this mom. I would appreciate any other comments or suggestions. He is currently in the mad scramble to find housing, schedule shipping his belongings and ALL that entails for moving across the world! We really want to help out but just don't know how. I'm excited for him to have this experience.
Thanks to all :)
