Any Brothers in Guantanamo Bay?

Navy, bubblehead

Does not sound too bad, just not sure about the scum thats there now. Also it seems ironic to be so close yet oh so far away from the goodies there.

It's wasn't bad at all. I was a RM cross trained as an ET. I had a lot of fun. If you are single, there were plenty of military women there, just be careful, a lot of cheating going on.

Is your wife going with you? Reason I ask, a 3rd class Petty Officer can apply for housing or you may be able to stay in the barracks on the Married people room.

No man, I'm a 1st class going IA for prisoner escort duty, these IA (individual augment) billets pop up between Gitmo, Iraq, and Afghanistan since we are undermanned as a force. Usually the MA's and Marines cover them.

Cool, I made it to 2nd class before I got out. You will have a lot of fun there, just take full advantage of the base. It is only a short ride to the beach and go to the cliffs to just look out on the water to relax your mind. I hope you like BBQ because there is a grlling area behind the barracks which mostly everyone takes their grilling skills very seriously.

If I remember correctly, Gitmo counted towards sea time, so its a lot better than your other two choices. Just think of it as going to a vacation resort. The Base/Island is really beautiful outside of the base area.

Nice to hear, seems pretty cool if it happens. Jamaica and all the other islands would be a plus as well. From what my Chief said I would get "paid back" the shore duty time I would miss out on. So the big question is where is the nearest LCDH?
