Hi
My husband and I will be moving our family to Guam in 2012... I was just wondering if someone can tell me the number of pets you are allowed to have on ba
Thanks Geneva
Good to know:
+prices in stores include VAT (tax). If it says $4.99 it costs $4.99 (like in Europe :-)
+Homes are built to be typhoon resistant and can handle the weather.
+It is recommended that you bring a generator with you.
+Guam does not recognize nor accept motorcycle licenses not issued by the Guam Department of Motor Vehicles you'll have to re-test. Just a heads up.

Whether you are heading to Guam -courtesy of the military- or you are just curious about this assignment this extensive post by Kelly on tle="joint-region-marianas-guam/housing/" href="ba
The Island
There are pluses and minutes about Guam. One must keep an open mind coming here because the culture and way of life are different and the island is small and I am not going to lie it can be monotonous at times but if you are easy to adapt as most military and their families are then it shouldn’t be a problem. The locals are called Chamorros and if you are lucky enough to befriend some you will be entertained by some great bbq’s…be sure to get some of the recipes for their red rice etc. “Boonie” is a nickname used quite frequently for things related to the island. Boonie car (old car bought on the island) boonie stomping (hiking) Boonie dog or cat (strays and there are a lot of them). The island is only 30 miles long and has a lot of wonderful outdoors activities such a hiking (boonie stomping) snorkeling diving etc. The water is absolutely amazing. The ba

Living
The downsides utilities…cell phone and internet services tend to go up and down. There are also quite few power outages at times so make sure you have a lot of flashlights etc. Since the island is in Typhoon Alley they are always in some type of condition of readiness. If you live on ba
***I do want to make a note about some of the movers there (locally). I had a bad experience with Pacific Island movers. They stole some of my items (I found out when I moved back to the mainland and received my stuff) so if you get stuck with these movers please be wary and maybe even request a new carrier.
Because Guam is pretty much restricted to the 30 miles my recommendations are to get into the outdoors photography or the island’s history. This is something precious you can take back to the mainland with you. Also if you have money for traveling Saipan Japan Hong Kong Singapore Bali and Australia are right there.
PASSPORT:
Your spouse’s current command will direct him/her on the steps but the spouse will need a free military passport which he or she will get at the current command. This can only be used enroute to/from your pcs duty station. If you would also like to travel to other countries for personal travel while stationed in Guam you will need to also buy a personal travel passport: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html
PETS:
If you have pets and are moving to Guam get ready for the quarantine. Guam like Hawaii is a rabies free island. If you are moving there with pets you have to take heed to a lot of preplanning before departure. Here is a li
