I am actually surprised. If you go on Big Navy you can see a lot of WW2 things. Very neat! a lot of history here. For base housing, we waited about a week to get into our house. We love it!

yep I like it so far
We just got into our house on base!

Hey girl! Are you getting excited? It's totally a rain day here..pouring rain. Anyway, I did not ship any of my personal stuff out here yet..but my mom has sent me some things through usps.. and on the customs form you can just put clothes. Doesn't have to be too detailed.

Hi there! I love love love it out here! I WILL say that it's not for everyone. A lot of people get island fever and are ready to go after only being here for a few months. I definitely think that each duty station is what YOU make of it. When you come out here, just come with an open mind. Leave all of your winter clothes back home and invest in swimsuits! I think 80% of everything we do is either at the beach or somewhere outdoors! Let me know if you have any questions.

He was going to be here 3 years--since I am getting sponsored--he had to extend his time to 4 years. So basically he had to extend it for me to be here.

aww. I had to have some shots done here for the sponsorship. And they gave me the flue nasal spray stuff.

yep They actually wanted me here to begin the sponsorship--so much easier. Once you're married they will begin all of that. I am going to the Naval hospital for mine because it's all right in one building. But in the meantime, I am staying with a friend off base because without command sponsorship they will not allow you to stay in base housing. So I guess your DF needs to find a place for you or a hotel (which can be really pricey) Everything here is more expensive than normal. If you have any questions feel free to ask

You can only ship one car over to Guam... unless you're buying them over there. Just a FYI.
Yeah, I know whatchu mean about saving. I know he can take an interest free loan out with the military to help with some of the expenses. Try consignment shops for wedding stuff. That could help. And we sold alot of stuff already (bed, dining room table, dresser, clothes...) you could try that?? I wish you the best of luck. I know how tough it is married, I cant imagine doing this not married... the military personel can be harsh.

So you're living off base prior to applying to live on base? I just know it's really expensive. So if you can, save save save! Yeah, I have to cut off our cells and look into cells when we arrive in Guam. When exactly are you headed to Guam?
