    I know it’s been a few weeks since my last video and a few of y’all been waiting on this... I’m sorry! I had to get my life together and get my bearings a little bit before I showed y’all around a place I was brand new to (I meany’all saw how discombobulated I was going to the gym while it was closed and not even recording the commissary😭). Lol anyways, I’m lovin Guam so far and I can’t wait to show y’all more of the island and really get into the groove of things💯 I appreciate all the continued love and support from each and every one of y’all and I’ll try to keep up the weekly videos. So until next time, peace and love people!✌🏿❤️

    I want to say thank you for showing me around. My son is now stationed there and hearing what he was doing and where he was at, the gym and BX, I now can see it instead of just imagining what it looks like. lol he doesn't like to record like this. So thank you for doing this, you help out parents too!!!

    Wow things have changed since I left. First food you got a card and at at the galley no money was taken from your pay or you got money for food and paid to eat a galley or did your own thing which was cooked dor your self. Cooking you can get a convection oven don't think that's for you right now $$ and cook any thing they sell, the cook top burner at commissary and the gas cheap for stove top stuff best and cheap way to eat quality food not roman 👍. Before Covid the base was very busy with all the retirees mac flights, gym and every thing was open like Naval Station is. Exchange is expensive via still cheaper than off base, you can find some deals off base on certain things. GoPro any thing you can wait to get use ebay, use ebay as much as you can also Amazon. Try to find someone off base that has physical address for home delivery like I have that will hook you up for certain item they don't ship to P.O. boxes for. The car we call it bonnie bomb it goes from one military person to the next keep it clean and running don't put any more money than maintenance oil change ect, safe your money for a new car. Get a solar charger for battery they are cheap Home Depo batteries here are not. If open can use hobby shop to do your oil change, NCTS gas station or Naval Hospital gas station has every thing you need for your car, stay out of exchange for car stuff. People are great here, RESPECT goes a long way here you can meet lots of locals that will extend a great time to you if you are respectful. Covid has changed a lot of things but it's getting better. The beaches, hiking explore the Island plenty to do, it is a Very Big Small Island, get off the base. I hope this helps you out welcome to Guam did 3 tours here Navy and retired here love it. Ya save your leave when/if travel open up you have the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, Bali, Singapore, Cambodia Hawaii, must see places reasonable flight prices cheap to stay other than Singapore, Hawaii and Korea are expensive. Covid has everything locked up 😪 I hope it opens for you. Guam is a hub for the greatest traval and if lucky, it will open while you are here. They use to have the Hawaii weekend Express mac fight. Enjoy 😀

    Thank you for the video of Andersen AFB. I was stationed there from Feb 1993 to May 1995. About the only thing that doesn't appear to have changed is the outside of the barracks. The inside however used to be two people per room sharing a bathroom with two other people next door. I could go on and on about the changes that I noticed from your short video. Absolutely loved it there! Logged a whole lotta dives. Enjoy your time there!

    Hey thanks for the tour! Great job. I have to tell you, things sure have changed at Andersen since I was there as a young teen. I was a dependent and used to go to the old gym and play ball with the airman. They were so cool. I was pretty good, at six feet at age 14, the airman always let me play. All of those buildings in your video were not there when I was there (70 - 72). Dad was a navigator on B-52’s and flew a ton of missions to Vietnam. I really miss my time on Guam. I want to go back but I’m afraid nothing would be the same. Oh well, that’s life. Thanks again!!

      @joemilleriv  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Wow! I have a lot of memories on that island. It was my first duty station from 09-13. I was there during a lot of the renovation they've done to the dorms, buildings, BX, etc. It was very nostalgic watching your vid man. Even had my daughter there down at big baby! Hooped a lot at the gym. Always got cut up by Nilo right out the back gate. I don't know if he's still around but definitely check him out if you can. I can go in and in about the love I have for that place but enjoy it while you can brother!!

      @@joemilleriv I was really wondering how the base had changed. I refueled B52s and everything else… during Vietnam it was busy… so I noticed no activity.. which was eerie… off base … we found Calvary Baptist church that we attended and it hasn’t changed much. There are more roads for sure but we were able to go around the island easily. It was hot and humid just like I remember. We had a good time, a nostalgic time for me. I miss that time in my life.

I retired in 2004 and have done 2 tours in Guam active duty and 2 tours as a contractor and will hopefully be back in a couple months for my third but on the Navy side. Guam is a great place to serve and I hope you enjoy the full potential that Guam has to offer. Great vid and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. Take care.

    Something that helped me save money for food that might help you is, find low cost substitutes for each meal and stick to that and only switch out a few things for variety like once a month. Like fore example I always get Sara Lee bread with egg whites and turkey sausage for breakfast with cheese and hot sauce. Stick to quick and easy meals and change little things when you get bored of it to save money.

The base added the newer BX and the DOD school since I left, but everything was pretty much the same besides the interior upgrades. Before the DOD school was built, a lot of us went to that UPI school near the back gate formerly (Andersen Elementary) .

    I was stationed in Guam in 1972-73 with the AirForce on Anderson. Been awhile, but I still remember a lot of the place. One place I remember was Talofofo falls. About it being not to big, my bigest thing to do was to go on a bus tour of the rock which ended up being a drinking tour. the other thing that was big was doing laundry.
    While I was there, we lived in tents, but that was because of the war. I was a jet mech working on the B-52's, F-4's, F111's etc.
    The weather was quite warm with high humidity with our leetle friends the camillions who were our bug catchers.
