Ryansmom, Sorry I didn't respond sooner I was out of town for a wedding, then flew down to Florida to help my oldest son move back to Michigan. For some reason I couldn't reply to you on my cell phone.
When my son went to Gaum in 2013 the navy shipped all of his belongings and his car. There was no charge to him, so I would think the navy would ship it back. My son said there are cars and household items for sale all the time. I would think they advertise these items on base.
What will your son be doing on Gaum?
Ask all the question you want, I'll answer the best I can.
RyansMom, welcome,My son has been in Guam for over 2 years and loves it, I hope your son will too. Your son will want a car, if he already has one the Navy will ship it, if not there are plenty of cars he can buy from someone leaving. The phone service on the island I believe is GTA. Don't let your current phone carrier tell you that Gaum is a US territory and the phone will work on Guam. Your son will also need to get is own WiFi. As far as housing the Navy will take care of that. The weather well it rains a lot and it's hot.
I have so many questions. This website has helped me thru PIR, A school and more...hoping this group can help as well.
I see latest activity here was 20 hours ago, looks more like 5 years ago! A shame.
Hello Guam Moms. My Sailor will be heading over to Guam very shortly. Finishing C school and then on his way. I have so many questions....Housing? Phones? WiFi? Transportation? Need a vehicle? Weather? Thank you in advance for any and all help. Headed over to Facebook right now to join Guam Mom and Families. Prayers for each of your Sailors as well.
Well Guam Moms past/ present/future It's been about 4 years since my Navy bunch has been in Guam. So I figured it was time to leave. I wish each and everyone of you and your Sailors the best in life's adventure in the Navy. HOOYAH Navy Moms!!! Navy Mom Hugs <3!
aj2away, ATT did the same thing to my son almost 2 years ago, we ended up with a huge bill that we did not pay. It took about 3 months but got it all squared away. Make sure your sons phone is on military hold that way you don't even pay the $10.00 a month fee. My son was able to unlock his ATT phone and he uses it for travel. My son loves Guam and is going to try to extend his time there. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
