Thank you, Regina! His rate is an MMN3, so for now I assume he'll be cranking on the sub (when he finally gets there!) until he gets his Dolphins. LOL!
My husband and I have lots of travel plans this year (empty nest and gonna enjoy it!), but hopefully next year will bring some opportunity to visit him in Guam. My fingers are crossed. How exciting to have your son and family much closer than Guam soon! That's wonderful!

Havasu, what’s your sons job? Good luck to your son.
We did get to visit 3 times in the 7 years our son has been stationed there, so if you get a chance to visit take it, the expense is worth it. Our son has a house so at least we didn’t have to pay for a hotel. Our son and his family will only be 10 hour drive or a couple hour flight for his next duty station.

Yeah they figure it out pretty quick. He bought a car as his barrack was a couple mile walk in the heat. It was tough at first as his ship was deployed when he arrived for quite a few months so he was stuck trying to make his way on his own without much direction. But he did it!

4Maineboys, I loved reading that! My son mentioned he was nervous going there because he won't know anyone and essentially will have to start over making friends, but I know he'll be just fine. It's great to read that your Sailor likes it there and has made great friends!
Italian Momma, How exciting to get to see him soon! Three hours is so close... I'm so excited for you!

Hello to the new moms of the group. My boy has been in Guam for 2 years. He finishes up his time there come April. We were not able to visit due to the cost. However we face timed a lot.He just erupted and will be coming back to the states. He will only be 3 hours away from home! I see road trips ahead!

Hi everyone! My son is in Guam with the Oklahoma City. I can't believe it will be two years in May. He likes it as well for the most part although they have been in for a while and he said he almost misses being underway. Tough having him so far but I'm glad for his adventures. He's made some great friends and they keep busy!

Thank you so much, Regina! That's great to know he loves the area. I do hope a visit will work out for us there some time in the future!

Havasu, welcome to Guam, my son has been in Guam for 7 years and he loves it. However he will be leaving in April for his next duty station but is hoping he will make it back to Guam in the future. If you get the chance to go for a visit you should it’s absolutely beautiful.

Hello, just talked to my sailor tonight. He will be going to Guam fairly soon, so looks like we may need to be planning some visits in the next few years!!!
