I've been just offered Guantanamo, Cuba as an option for re-enlistment. Now, I have to make a quick decision on this since it won't be available for long. Any information would be really appreciated.
Is family allowed? How long would be the assignment? How is it to work in a Joint Task Force?

SGT(P) (Join to see) - It would be a pretty good posting, but if your concern is whether or not the tour is accompanied, you'd better ask pointed questions. I know that back in the day, dependents were not allowed; not sure about today, but I don't think that has changed.

Take it - there's potential that you'll be there long enough for them to open up travel outside of Gitmo to the rest of Cuba...which would be interesting to see imo.

MAJ (Join to see) as a Puerto Rican, being able to walk Cuba streets is a dream, and if the Army would pay me to do it, even better!

For what it's worth, you can take $75 flight to Jamaica from GTMO...or at least it was that price 2 years ago.

Blue Beach, Cable Beach, Windmill Beach, good weather all year around. Low temperatures in the 60's during the winter. I was stationed there for 2 years in the 70's. Family was allowed back then.
