What about Christmas? Is there something planned for the sailors who dont have family with them. The thought of my baby boy being alone on Christmas makes me so sad

Thanks for all of the input, I will pass it along to my son. As for visiting Guam, I would love to but I'm not sure it's the cards for me. Fortunately, he is only there for 2 yrs & he's hoping to come home maybe in Feb.

he will have somewhere to go between his friends and the USO. He will just have to pick where he wants to go.

Usually a group of the friends get together and bring cover dishes and meet at someones home. They have lots of fun doing that. I think that would be alot of fun. If you ever get a chance to go to Guam to be with your Sailor, do it. It was great.My husband and I went last March for the first grandbaby to be born. We were there for 2 weeks. Took lots of pictures and saw alot of things.

What goes on for Thanksgiving? For the Sailors who do not have family w/them on Guam, does the base offer dinner to them? Last year my son was still in A-School for Thanksgiving & I believe he had dinner right on base. He hasn't mentioned too much about the holiday & I'm not even sure if he has duty that day or not. I guess it's just a "mom thing" but I'd like him to have a tradional Thanksgiving dinner & not eating @ Subway or something.

I'm looking for anyone on Guam that may be a Christian and would be able to help my daughter find a church.

Charlotte I answered some of your questions on the Frank Cable page sorry. Long Distance fees... depends on what you mean. If he brings a phone from the US and tries to use it here it will be VERY expensive, when I checked it was like 1.99 a minute or something. So we turned our state side phones off. If he is under contract he can use his orders to turn it off with no fee. When we first got here we picked up and iconnect phone just to get something quick. They are very basic no frills phones. for 30 bucks a month we got 1000 minutes and unlimited calls to the US. Then my husband wanted "real" cell phones lol. So we ended up getting Iphone which run us 80 bucks a month per phone. They dont have any unlimited calling to the US packages so it costs us .10 cent a minute on those phones to call back home. As far as a using a bike exclusively a non motorized one he could use it to get back and forth to work. I know a few people who do. He would probably be miserable doing it lol. Lots of people use motorcycles or scooters as their main transportation. That is totally doable. If he is comfortable riding in the rain he will be fine. But really there are lots of cheap cars you can find one under 5K pretty quickly and if he handy he could find one even cheaper. My husband paid 1400 for our second car. Man it is ugly but it runs and when we leave we will be able to sell it quickly when we leave. Hmm what elses about Guam, ohhh this was a surprise to me when we got here. The ship is not on the mail base. It is over at Polaris Point which is about a 10-15 minute car drive from base. That is where he will go work at everyday.

Approx distances looking at a map.
7-12 miles wide; 30-35 miles long; depends on where he wants to go, how many friends he has with wheels and how independent he wants to be. Rainy season would make a bike/motorcycle uncomfortable...

Thanks luvinmatt!....is the Cable currently out to sea or in port? Are the long distance fees alot to phone home or text message?? What about a bike on the island....can you get most places on a bike or small motorcycle?? He is in really good shape....I could NOT ride a bike every where I needed to go! Lol
