My daughter will be in Guam as of December 18th, it is her first assignment since A school so I was wondering if they do anything special during the holidays? I am also wondering if I can send anything because I don't even have an address for her yet! I would like her to open something!!!

Sandy....your son will want to purchase a phone plan in Guam. My son also has his computer with internet and cellphone service. He has an iphone and we use an app called Voxer and we can communicate via text message through that for free. We also email and talk via Facebook all the time. The time difference is a challenge but we manage :)

I hope its ok that I'm on here- I'm not a mom of a sailor, but a wife to one and the mom of a baby :-) My husband is in Bahrain right now and we are supposed to be PCSing to Guam around feb-march, so I thought it would be nice to join this group and learn a little about it through you all before we go! My husbands an MA and is on unaccompanied orders in Bahrain for a year and a half right now. We can't wait to be with him when he's done there :)

oh, no! the housing department takes care of it. he may need them to come out and make sure they are being maintained and that there is no mold issue if he smells something.

Tell him to contact the housing office (phone number in the government section of the phone book). There could be mold behind the walls where that flooding occurred. We had a leak in the walls between our washer and AC unit (I think it was a water build up around the humidifier) and they ripped out the small 2X2 area, sanitized and replaced and painted the wall. Also, it is extremely important that AC unit filters are changed very regularly. Everybody will give you different time frames but safe to check it every 1-2 months. I don't know how its handled in the new barracks.

Mindy4boys- my husband had the similar experience at the airport, but was fortunate a duty driver happened to pass through and took him to the ship. No one helped him to call home and his ship deployed immediately. The one saving grace with the sponsor was after a week with no word I emailed the sponsor to say we were worried and they hurried up and made him an email and he wrote to me within the hour from sea. It all got better from there! And your sailors have much nicer barracks now- modern, safe, more like dorm rooms than the black mold/ ant infested houses they use to get, lol.

Thank you for this info ladies. My sailor has been assigned to be a mentor for the first time. He also did not have a great mentor experience himself. When our son arrived at the Guam airport there was no mentor there to pick him up.He had to call the ship via payphone and get picked up by a duty driver. My husband has passed on the info from all of you to our son. I think this was good information for him to read!
