What can I expect during my upcoming deployment to Guantanamo Bay?

I was there in 2002 when Camp X-Ray first opened. We were there before the detainees were there. Things have changed a lot since then, but if you love snorkeling, kayaking, etc, there is a lot to do. Also, when I was there, SCUBA certification was dirt cheap compared to what we would pay for it here stateside.

Sir, The base is awesome and the mission is great. Not too much I can talk about the mission on here. If you are into MWR, there is plenty to do!!! The NAVSTA has an excellent MWR! There is always some sort of function going on! The Main gym is opened 24 hrs and it is equivalent to any 5 star gym you have ever been to! There is boating, snorkeling, scuba, fishing, golf. Of course the golf course isn't in great shape but it is free if you walk, small cost if you get a cart!.. Unfortunately you are not allowed on the economy, but they do very well to make it a great deployment. Visit the Jerk House! The food is excellent. Be sure to to stay out of trouble! If you sniff a bottle cap of alcohol, use the "Safe Ride" It is an every day duty for Soldiers to be picked up from the clubs to be brought home!. Many DUI's and there is no reason! IT is a place where YOU will make it great of awful! If you have any other questions let me know!!!!!

As I recall there were banana rats, stone crabs, iguanas, and chickens... everywhere. Leeward side of GTMO, 1994.
