  • I believe the number of pets is 2 although we don't live on base nor do we have pets. I have not been through a typhoon siince we've only been here since October but homes are built to withstand such storms I.e. concrete walls and roofs and typhoon shutters. The native language is Chamorran but it is all but a dead language. Such a small percentage of the islanders speak it. If you want to learn a language that would actually be useful learn Japanese. There are lots of Japanese tourists here. I know such a big move can be frightening. It was for me too. But rest assured that the military will work with you to make things go as smoothly as possible. And I recommend packing out a full six weeks in advance. We did so and still had to wait two weeks for our household goods. Not fun in an empty house with two small kids!

  • The pet limit on Andersen is 3. There is a loophole though if you foster animals you are allowed more I believe the limit is 5. I don't recommend as houses are small!

  • Kim M. says: Watch the movers on Guam's end. They like to steal. I used to work at a moving company & a lot of our claims were Guam related. Keep an eye out on every person in there at all times. Make detailed lists take pics videos of everything you own just in case you need to make a claim over missing items. Make sure your inventory is as detailed as possible at origin. If you have designer clothes make sure the inventory reflects the designer & how many pieces are in the box. Trust me the carrier will deny your claim if you do not have proof of tender.

  • Amy S. says: I've lived here 4 years and still haven't seen a typhoon. A few thunderstorms but nothing scary. The weather is beautiful and hits 85 degrees 365 days a year. There is a rainy season but you still wear shorts and flip flops so I'm not complaining. It is a US territory so everyone speaks English. The locals do have a native language they are trying to revive but it isn't what is mostly spoken. There is a broad mix of asian culture here from Filipino to Japanese and Korean. There is a very broad selection of restaurants including some my US favorites like Chili's Ruby Tuesdays TGI Friday's McDonald's Taco Bell Pizza Hut etc. There is also a lot of local restaurants. It's beautiful here and I'm going to miss it when we leave in January.

  • Military Wives Chatter says: My first husband was born and raised on Guam and my son was born at the Naval hospital there in 1995. It is a beautiful island with friendly honest people who welcome newcomers into the community. Please take advantage of the hospitality and culture as well as the beautiful beaches and scenic landscapes the warm climate allows. You may not have all the comforts of home as far as shopping seasonal changes etc. but this little island paradise has a lot to offer! Enjoy!

  • Heather B. says: I've been here about a year. For the most part I like it. Don't worry about the language thing. English is the primary language spoken. It's very "American" here overall. It's definately hard being so far from family and it's a little expensive especially off base. The weather is great if you like hot humid summertime weather. It rains a lot but you get used to it! I was more afraid of bugs spiders rodents and reptiles! But Ive gotten used to that too and they're not nearly as bad/big/gross as I was expecting. My best advice is to come with an open mind positive attitude and confidence and you'll do great!
