Guam is an island that is a US territory. There's around 20,000 service member with their family on island. We have the naval base in Santa Rita village, Andersen air force base in Yigo village and marine corps base, Camp Blas in Dededo.
The weather is hot and humid with unpredictable rain that usually doesn't last more than 10 minutes unless its rainy season.
It is a melting pot here. We have the Chamorros, Asian, Micronesian, American and other race living on the island.
