I got my next duty assignment to GITMO - do you have experiences to share?

Took my entire company there in early 2002 for a few months working in the camp. Great time shared by all and beautiful area. Learn to scuba dive....its simply beautiful there. Enjoy!

Spent 8 months there in 2007 - 2008, we built the legal complex on the old runway.
Best/cheapest place in the world to get all SCUBA certification levels you want. Tons of other MWR facilities and I think they just recently renovated the football/soccer field. If you like water sports, get a boating license early and start logging hours to get a faster/better speed boat. I found the best way is to get a group who want to go boating to all chip in to offset the costs.

A nice AAFES Mall and there are a few good places to eat, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC, Subway. They also just opened an Irish Pub before I left, and if it is still open, eat at the Jerk House as often as you can!
If you're pulling prison security, when I was there, I talked to a few security personnel that said it could be stressful some days for some of the inmates, but overall the duty wasn't too bad.

Overall, one on my favorite deployments. Lots to do if you take advantage and get out and explore.

I spent 6 months from 2005-2006....LOVED IT!!! I have several friends there now. Get your SCUBA certification and eat at The Jerk House...amazing food. Don't hit any iguanas if you're driving, it's a $10K fine and beware of the Banana Rats! Other than that, make the most of it. The water is beautiful and so are a lot of the beaches.
