Guam stands for Give Up And Masturbate. Also, the scuba diving is great. Muff diving is risky there.

Pretty sure its gonna be a case of the Okis not liking us.

Until we're gone.

And their local economy collapses.

29,000 troops, plus civilian support, is a lot of $$$ into local economies. Hopefully this poor prefecture is prepared for those consciences.

I remember Jacksonville becoming a ghost town, shops folding up when Iraqi freedom fired up and 2nd MEF went bye bye… and that was just a deployment…

This is permanent!

I was stationed at Ft. Benning for bit. We judged deployments based upon three criteria:

How crowded strip club parking lots were
How much inventory pawn shops had
Number of arrests for domestic violence/drunk disorderly/DUI

Our CO would warn us when a Ranger company was coming off deployment or whatever. We knew to stay of of the strip clubs. lol
