My daughter just graduated Hospital Corpsman A-School this morning and leaves for Guam tomorrow. Any general basics i should know as a Momma??
Thank you, Lois:) I will pass the info onto my son.
@ rsv227 Devin's mom,
I just asked my son where he got his and he said it is in the same building that houses DMV and registrations
Lois: I'm guessing he would go to the post office on base and they could direct him how to mail packages home.
Please keep Tyler in your prayers...he'll have 3 wisdom teeth cut out August 26th there in Guam...he said they weren't giving him any problems and you couldn't see them in his gum...I was truly wishing they would wait until deployment was over in the fall and do this in Gulfport...then he could take 1 week leave and be at home to recover...
Good Morning Guam Moms,
Hope everyone is having a great day. I am wondering if anyone knows how my son would go about sending Sausage and Pepper (not sure what kind) from Guam back to the states. I have a friend that asked my son to mail them 2 items from Guam to them in New York. I don't know how he would package them to do so.
Thanks for any advise.
Lois
