So many of you will know that I already made a video on Guam ages ago! This is a bit of a "take 2" on that as it's a fascinating place and this time I went on location and learned about what has happened on the island after the North Korean missile threat. Most importantly, I filmed a behind the scenes video with Brian from Real Engineering and Joseph from Real Life Lore which you can watch here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYKNrKptfbSqpdI.html

I enjoyed this video. My father was sent to Guam and later Japan during the American occupation of Oceania and Japan during the waning days of WWII and the occupation that followed, he finished his Army service as Eisenhower's photographer and as a combat photographer in the Korean War, then became a civilian nuclear health physicist. He worked for Argonne from 60-66, then transferred to the Navy, working for Admiral Rickover which was tough for him, being a former Staff Sergeant, but they clicked together and my Dad with his colleagues wrote the nuclear safety protocols for our nuclear surface and sub vessels. My Dad was at the commissioning of the Enterprise, Long Beach, and several Trident subs, before he asked to be transferred to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, where he helped revamp nuke safety protocols after Three Mile Island. Serendipity got me to Guam. I was working as a Controller for Harrah's Tahoe, and I and a bunch of other middle managers got laid off. It was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. My brother had months before passed away, and my parents, being Italian, said "Until you Marry, come back home to live with us, and think of your layoff as a new opportunity to change your career, especially since you like travel and the hospitality industry"... I had never been to Epcot center, so I went there, since I had some savings despite the layoff, and while at the Japan exhibit I imagined "I'd love to see Japan some day". Next morning, my parents called me and said I'd got a call from a want ad I had applied to, and the human resource people were eager for me to get to an interview but were not too happy to hear I was on vacation in Florida. Add to that, a former hotel owner in Bakersfield I had known called me and asked me if I was interested in working for them. I ended my vacation as planned and to my surprise, ended up, via Japan, in Guam, ten days later because Pacific Island Club, a nice resort there, wanted me to work for their resort as a team desk manager. They flew me to Guam, at their own expense, via Japan on NWA and offered me the job--but I had to say no. Once I was in Guam, I realized I would have been stranded there, with no further opportunity in my life--there was no economy other than tourism, and we who've come from the tourist industry know it does not pay well. Once I understood the office politics that all tourist locations have, I had to decline the invite to work there, because I know of company mergers and acquisitions, tourism jobs are frail. In Guam, I snorkeled in the Pacific Island Club's beautiful lagoon and so many yellow fish swam along side me "kissing" my arms and legs, it was a euphoric moment I could not describe, reminding me of the scene in the movie "Avatar" where Jake is kissed by some glowing falling fuzzies, or something like that. So Guam means so much to me, and the decisions I made in my life after to have a better career, a daughter about to graduate from college, and reminding me that though my father was not Johnny Carson, he had an incredible impact on my homeland, as anyone's son or daughter would wish of their parents.

I was stationed there in 67 and 68 with the Navy at the Communications station near Finegayan. Was not nearly as built up as now. Remember the B52s from Andersen A.F. base taking off for bombing missions and returning approx.12 hours later. The ones lucky enough to return.

"The effects were partially mitigated by an increase of visitors from South Korea who were less worried about missile threats since it's a reality they live with every day back home" As South Korean, can confirm. I don't care if north korea has missiles anymore, it just pops up on the news some day and we say ayy, Jong Un is doing threats again, like for the 54th time in my life, so well, the usual.

David Curry Don't think Japan is really that scared of NK - rather, the ruling LDP uses those escapades to drum up support for rearming their self-defense forces (which have been constrained by the Americans). I mean, there's some concern as Tokyo is within very short range of a NK missile strike, but for the most part, the threats just ends up fueling the pro-rearmament sentiments.

Stationed there 1966-67 as a Navy Nurse caring for Vietnam injured military. “Worked hard” but able to decompress with all the beauty around. Went back with daughter (who lived in Japan) in 2006. A much different island in many ways.

Ah Guam. I never even knew this place existed until my plane landed there because a volcano off the south of Japan erupted and diverted our flight. That was a weird experience. Weather was shit, couldn't even leave the plane but it was interesting to just look out the window and see what was going on. Closest I've been to an American territory. Kind of Ironic that I was actually going from New Zealand to Japan and I ended up in Guam for a bit. I should note that I was flying Air New Zealand, an airline that hadn't landed in Guam for YEARS so they would have most likely had to get clearance with the FAA before landing and that's probably why we weren't even allowed off the plane for our stopover.

I moved to Guam in December, 1967 at age 12. I lived there until about April, 1970 when I moved back to the mainland at age 14. I have some very good memories of the island, living both off base and on base. I also had some not so nice memories, but if you were to pick an age to live on a tropical island, you couldn't do better than I did. When I moved to Guam, it was about 5 years after Typhoon Karen. Many people were living in Quonset huts. One of my neighbors off base was Col. Munoz, of the Guam Army, which resisted the Japanese invaders. There was still a Japanese soldier hiding out when I lived there. In 9th grade I took an Exploring Guam class. Unfortunately, the year prior, a student was murdered for the $7 in his wallet on the way to Talofofo Falls and all field trips were cancelled. The teacher was a great teacher, though, and I learned a lot from him. I have many times wondered if the student was murdered by the Japanese soldier that was hiding out nearby. From the videos, it looks like Guam has changed a lot. When I lived on the island, I was told that it was like Hawaii 20 years prior. I finished the Boy Scouts on Guam, played on the Navy All Star baseball team and played my last game of organized baseball against some very friendly and polite Japanese kids who played a heck of a game. I danced with a girl my first time on Guam. That girl was the Captain's daughter. When I came home to the states, our country had changed and I felt out of place. All of the cars were moving so fast, and so were the girls. I left my innocence on the island. It would be nice to go and get it back one day.

I finished 7th grade at Barrigada Jr.High (Now Untalan) when I lived off base in Barrigada. All of 8th grade and most of 9th grade I was at Dededo Jr. High after we moved on base at NCS. Kaiser had just built some new houses in Dededo and some of my classmates lived there. In 1968 I played my last year of Little League on the NAS Flyers team. I made the Navy Allstar team and I don't remember losing a game. We had the best team on the island and finished the summer off by playing (and hosting) a very good Japanese team. We beat them 2-0. On that team was an 11 year old teammate who used to knock the cover off the ball. Unfortunately he killed himself the next year. His name was Joe Cordova and he played for the Navy team at the Naval Station. There was a Typhoon that just passed Guam.

Hello beautiful

As a Chamorro, I love Guam. It was my home for the first 12 years of my life. But I would never want to live on the island. People see the beauty of the beaches, land and culture. But they don’t realize how suffocating it is to be on an island so small that you can literally take a tour of EVERYTHING in three hours or less lol. There’s a reason why the military recruitment is so high...it’s because for most native Chamorros, that is their ticket off the island and to learn a valuable life skill in the process instead of living off the land (which is totally possible and I have family that do that). Love my people and my culture. Love my island. But I’m happy living in the mainland where there are more opportunities to make a living. Also...I can vote here. And Texas has a HUGE Pacific Islander community. Love it here as well. 🇺🇸🇬🇺

Thanks so much for sharing this! It brought back a lot of memories. I lived on Guam 50 years ago for my senior year in high school when my family moved there. My dad was a middle school band director, and had been in the tropics in the Navy ah the end of WWII and realized that winter was an option, not a necessity as when we lived in the Midwest. 50 years ago was 1972, and we were still in the middle of the Vietnam War. B-52 bombers were a regular site as they approached the Northern end of the island, and military vehicles we're a regular site on the roadways hauling those bombs. This was before satellites and cable TV, so we got the CBS Evening News a day late that was recorded on film and then flown Express to the island. All the other TV shows came over on the slow boat, so we saw the Christmas specials at Easter. Telephone service was very spotty then, and we did not have a phone, because you could just drive over and talk to somebody if you needed to. Japanese tourism was very big even then. It was not so homogenized with American culture as it seems to be now, and seemed like a much more exotic place. The coldest it got that year was 70 deg.F.

One of the toughest things on Guam to deal with are the natural disasters. The super typhoons are crazy and it takes awhile for things to get back to normal again including tourism. I remember also going through an earthquake in the 90s on Guam that was over 8.0 magnitude.

I lived on Anderson Air Force Base, Guam when I was a kid. We had a open air movie theater that you watched movies under an open sky. When it rained the umbrellas came out. Used to go to Tarague Beach ...sugar-white sands and cool seashells. Coconut crabs used to come out at night and bust open coconuts. Slept on the beach. There used to be a Russian Trawler outside the territorial limit listening to phone calls on base. Played football and baseball there. Closest thing to paradise that I've experienced. Good memories.

Someone tell Ted Cruz.

I was stationed at Agana NAS, attached to VQ-1 from ‘71-74. I was there when the Japanese straggler Corporal Yokoi was found. I remember when the first McDonalds was opened, which was a big deal at the time. I had a great time there in the Navy, as well as the time I spent on detachment to Japan and the Phillipines. Good memories.

Guam is definitely a special place to visit. As a former United States Navy Sailor (2-89 to 2-92-USS NIAGARA FALLS AFS-3) but was stationed another few years (NCTAMS, NAS GUAM & back to NAVSTA GUAM) total of 5 1/2 years. I really enjoyed the island life and working out in the local community (Sandcastle) 93-94. I could not believe that a lot of NBA players know about Guam. Meet Spud Webb and Ron Harper there at a hotel back in 92 or 93. They said that a lot of NBA players who want to get away from the US, Comes to Guam. My Current boss is from Guam working here in Honolulu As the locals would say Hafa Adai
