palmbeachnavymom- From everything I have read and what my son has been told, your son will have to register his car in Guam. Is your son in Guam yet? My son just got there on march 17th ( he just loves it ). However his car won't arrive until approximately April 26th.
Hi Ladies,
I am getting ready to ship my sons jeep to Guam. He wants to keep his FL tag on his car. Does he have to get a Guam tag?
My son is now in Guam:)
ScarlettefromGuam: My daughter got there in December and is working at the hospital. Her birthday is Friday and I wanted to send flowers or something! Is that even possible? She is turning 20 and has never been away from home for her birthday so I hate to not do anything! Help, any ideas?? She is having a hard time being so young and so far away!
Hey everyone! I'm a local Navy fiance with lots of info if you need it. I'm currently waiting for my sailor who is in A-school in Pensacola (rate: IT). If you have any questions about Guam, I can try to help you as best as I can. I don't have base access, but have been inside numerous times and could probably provide you some idea of what to do, what to find, where to go, etc. Hoping my sailor gets stationed here at home <3
If you get a chance to go to Guam by all means go!! It's awesome. My Daughter and son-n-law were there for 4 yrs. My Grandaughter was born at the Navy Hospital there. We went out there for 2 weeks.
Donna, my xmas package took 30 days and it arrived wet and chewed up but everything was intact. You have to use the postal service, but it's the navy that delivers it after that. I just sent another one. My son Ryan is on the USS Chicago.
My son is on the USS Frank Cable. He's doing well and enjoying it. I am saving every penny to go next year - February or March. Any travel tips? Anybody want to join me?
Also, anyone have trouble getting mail to their sailor? I was wondering if there is an address to use that would get fed ex or UPS as opposed to US postal service. Some Christmas gifts got there in time and some took many many weeks.
