Our new home is in Santa Rita, Guam. We are on the Naval Base, also referred to as "Big Navy". The northern side of the island has Andersen Air Force Base. There is a huge military presence, to say the least. The newly-organized Marine Camp Blaz is also on the island. We were able to get a house within 2.5 weeks which in the scheme of things is pretty short. We moved in on September 1st. Our house is a 7-minute bike ride from Owen and Milton's school, but 9 miles from the hospital. If Damon drags us across the entire Pacific ocean, then Owen, Milton, and I get to have a more convenient daily existence. We looked at houses off base but the selection was very slim. What we really like about this house is the second living room where the kids can get to themselves and their toys. The screen porch for Damon's treadmill and my erg is also really great. The house is built to withstand typhoons with very thick concrete block walls and roofs. All of the windows have exterior shutters that will close. The same shutters are around the screens on the porch. The garage has a heavy-duty door like the one we had in Lejeune. The boys have their own rooms. The main living room is large enough for me to have the desk on one side and then the tv and couches on the other. Tile floors throughout. Home, sweet home for 3 years!
