Andersen AFB Base Tour | Guam 

I know it’s been a few weeks since my last video and a few of y’all been waiting on this... I’m sorry! I had to get my life together and get my bearings a little bit before I showed y’all around a place I was brand new to (I meany’all saw how discombobulated I was going to the gym while it was closed and not even recording the commissary😭). Lol anyways, I’m lovin Guam so far and I can’t wait to show y’all more of the island and really get into the groove of things💯 I appreciate all the continued love and support from each and every one of y’all and I’ll try to keep up the weekly videos. So until next time, peace and love people!✌🏿❤️

I want to say thank you for showing me around. My son is now stationed there and hearing what he was doing and where he was at, the gym and BX, I now can see it instead of just imagining what it looks like. lol he doesn't like to record like this. So thank you for doing this, you help out parents too!!!

Omg dude this brought back so many memories of me and friends walking around 😭 good times in Guam

Thank you for the video of Andersen AFB. I was stationed there from Feb 1993 to May 1995. About the only thing that doesn't appear to have changed is the outside of the barracks. The inside however used to be two people per room sharing a bathroom with two other people next door. I could go on and on about the changes that I noticed from your short video. Absolutely loved it there! Logged a whole lotta dives. Enjoy your time there!

Thank you for your service Joe my son is currently stationed there for the next two years!

Hey thanks for the tour! Great job. I have to tell you, things sure have changed at Andersen since I was there as a young teen. I was a dependent and used to go to the old gym and play ball with the airman. They were so cool. I was pretty good, at six feet at age 14, the airman always let me play. All of those buildings in your video were not there when I was there (70 - 72). Dad was a navigator on B-52’s and flew a ton of missions to Vietnam. I really miss my time on Guam. I want to go back but I’m afraid nothing would be the same. Oh well, that’s life. Thanks again!!

I am a old veteran that is planning to retire in Guam. I was never stationed there so your video actually helps me to know how to get around on base. I will probably be there around this time next year. I know as a service connected veteran I can use some of the things on base.

Thanks for the awesome video, Joe! I was stationed on Andersen from 1979-1980 and remember those dorms but they have definitely changed. I remember I was on the top floor, pretty close to the middle dorm. The outside base movie theatre and the Latte Stone were very close. Best wishes to you and your future endeavors!

It's very nice! When I was in the Air Force(in the 1980's) you usually had two to a room so it's nice that you have your own room. Thanks for the tour! The Air Force was great!

Enjoy yourself Airman.. Great video, back in the 80s we were the first group to move into those brand new dorms. For me, Guam is the best place on Earth. Thank you for the fantastic video.

Thanks for posting this vid! Watching this brings back so many great memories. I grew up on that base from k-8th grade. I remember when the bx used to be that building located to the right of the commissary lol

I was stationed in Guam in 1972-73 with the AirForce on Anderson. Been awhile, but I still remember a lot of the place. One place I remember was Talofofo falls. About it being not to big, my bigest thing to do was to go on a bus tour of the rock which ended up being a drinking tour. the other thing that was big was doing laundry. While I was there, we lived in tents, but that was because of the war. I was a jet mech working on the B-52's, F-4's, F111's etc. The weather was quite warm with high humidity with our leetle friends the camillions who were our bug catchers. Anyway, just wanted to shove as much as I could in this reply. Hope things are great for you and really enjoy your time!

I was stationed there between 1986 and 1989. To say that everything has changed is an understatement. Nothing looks the same! I looked at the base via Google Maps and wow is all I can say. I would love to visit there sometime and take my two youngest kids because they were both born there. Thanks for sharing this video!

Wish you all the very best in your Air Force career and your time at Andersen AFB and in Guam! I retired from the Air Force a while back (2005, to be exact) and I also happen to be from Guam. Take good care. 👍

Thanks for sharing. Brings back a lot of memories. My dad was stationed there in the 80’s and lived there for 5 years. That street where your dorms are at is where President Ronald Regan and I waved at each other when he was touring the base.

Welcome to Guam, Joe! I wish you the best!

Hey! Thanks so much for the tour. My husband got his next orders here, glad to see what we're getting ourselves into haha!

Dude, uam was my first duty station, thanks for the memories of Guam. The dorms have not changes from the 80's , I loved the place. So So much fun... My first car was a Guam Bomb... if you know about them, if not ask any local. Move off base if you can, life there is so cool...just don't be late for work. Trust me not Good!!!

Thank you so much for sharing Joe l have dear ones over there now and l just wanted to see their world. I wish you all the very best.

Wow! I have a lot of memories on that island. It was my first duty station from 09-13. I was there during a lot of the renovation they've done to the dorms, buildings, BX, etc. It was very nostalgic watching your vid man. Even had my daughter there down at big baby! Hooped a lot at the gym. Always got cut up by Nilo right out the back gate. I don't know if he's still around but definitely check him out if you can. I can go in and in about the love I have for that place but enjoy it while you can brother!!

Great job on the video. I was thinking about coming here next and it was nice to see it before adding it to the list.

Great video! Guam looks beautiful.

Airman Miller, I spent 3 years on Anderson as a 461 back in the early 80s. I learned to SCUBA dive there and I recommend that for everyone on Guam. I spent a lot of time with the locals as a DJ on weekends and such. It was a lot of fun back then. Will always remember Tarague Beach and Talofofo Falls. Enjoy your time there young man.

Thank you for the tour. I was with the Aerial Port from 1969-71, with the 605 MASS.. The BX was across from the barracks, just a small building. Spentost of my time at Tarague Beach. Nights when not working was washout theater, since it rained every night a plane came in fro. VIETNAM. Thanks again. Brought back memories. Mark Itzko ( sgt when I was there)

Hafa Adai Joe! First of all thank you for serving as a fellow US Airman! I am a native of Guam currently living in OK. I retired in 2004 and have done 2 tours in Guam active duty and 2 tours as a contractor and will hopefully be back in a couple months for my third but on the Navy side. Guam is a great place to serve and I hope you enjoy the full potential that Guam has to offer. Great vid and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. Take care. Tony

I’ll be there this summer! My first assignment! Going for Fire Protection!

Love the video dude! You make some pretty great content! Keep up the great work

Enjoy every minute, dude! This was my first base too...AB thru A1C and also 4th base TSgt / MSgt. You'll look back one day and miss it!

The best part of living in the transportation dorm when I was there in 89 to 90, Right next to the Class 6 store, literally a 3 min walk from my room.

Hello from VA. I know I'm like 2 years late on this video lol But I came across it because I was wondering what Guam looked like. Looks like so much fun. Enjoy it! I'm 38 now but regret not joining the military. It looks like alot of fun and lots of adventure.

Great video young man! Looks exactly like my dorm 93-94. Hope you enjoy the short tour! I was there for the "Great Quake 93". Take care. Thank you for you service!

Proud of you. You're a good young man. Enjoy and keep it up!

I miss it so much. My childhood memory's from there mean a lot. Played lots of ⚽️ there. Helped me get to where I am now

Hey Joe, Great Memory’s! Was stationed in Guam 1987, My son Josh is there now. All the best! Looks like the supply dorms? Boony Car as a name.

Something that helped me save money for food that might help you is, find low cost substitutes for each meal and stick to that and only switch out a few things for variety like once a month. Like fore example I always get Sara Lee bread with egg whites and turkey sausage for breakfast with cheese and hot sauce. Stick to quick and easy meals and change little things when you get bored of it to save money.

Our grandson is just finishing up his training at Sheppard Air Force Base. He will be coming to Guam in August and will be stationed there for 3 years. My husband has been there a few times. He served in the Air Force for 38 years and retired in 2018.

I love your videos, I want to go back to Guam some day! I was born on Andersen Air Force Base, my dad was navy, NATO! We were only there for four years but, it’s so beautiful it’s my goal to get back there.

Stationed there 91-92, loved it.

Hi Joe! Thank you for sharing this video. I was there from 1968-1973. Then we had the super fort theater and the pool. Tarague beach was the place to go. On the way, we had a stick dinosaur sticking out of the boonies. There was a cave all the brass would party in. I think it collapsed during an earthquake. Don’t worry about those. Just hold on and stay away from the beach. :))))Dawn Lee

I used to live on Guam!! I loved it! 4+ best years

Hope your opinion remains after your entire tour of duty. Thanks for sharing positive posts about the island

Love The Vid !!!🔥❗️I Hope You Enjoy The Rest Of Your Stay

Amazing video brutha keep it up god has many blessings for ya 👍🏽

Your an inspiration whether you feel like it or not man. Peace n Love

Coming there next week can’t wait !

Nice video dude. I was stationed at Andersen 04-07. Hasn't changed much but I knew ya'll got a big ass BX/Commissary. I just retired last year...best of luck in your career bro!

Sweet vid dude... In the last 2 years have done plenty of techs stops in Guam on my way to Japan... Wish i could stay a few nights!

Hey, Thanks for sharing this video. I was stationed at AFB back in the 80s and lived on base. Please roll to 2051 B Plumeria BLVD and let me know if it’s still standing. I’m assuming it’s been demolished based on the many upgrades I’m seeing. Also a video suggestion and that is to record the drive down to bases beach Tarague (don’t quote me on its spelling 😬)

You mentioned a name for your car- I lived there in the early 80’s when my dad was stationed at Andersen. I remember everyone called the cars there Guam Bombs! I’m sure the cars are better now! lol We lived on Kwajalein Lane. Looking forward to more of your Guam videos!

Prayerfully you will enjoy Guam...I know we did & its really progressed sister we were there, before you were born (1988-1990). Our daughter even worked @ the commissary. Are the quonset huts still there? The movies were open spaced 🤭. Keep your car and sell it at the end of your tour, that's what we did (called them booneymobiles)🤣,b/c of the rust. As for meals, it may be hard, being as you don't have a stove 😥, but I'll be thinking up some. Thx for sharing & your service. Stay safe.

I was stationed on Guam 1969-1970. The barracks (dorm) you have just got built and got A/C 6 months later. Your rooms have been renovated. We had 4 guys to each room (2 metal bunk beds). Your BX looks like a Walmart where ours was more like a bodega. The locals were still pissed at the Japanese because of WWII, now the Japanese own most of the hotels. As an airman I couldn’t afford a car I had a rebuilt scooter that I co-owned with another guy. Good for you a tour of Guam is no longer “time on the rock”.

congrats on the new car!

I’m taking my ASVAB Thursday I’m so nervous but excited!

Born and Raised in Guam, You have nothing to worry about. We come as one and bring you nothing but great hospitality and make you family. Hafa Adai and Welcome to Guam! 😛😍

Great video Joe

Hey Joe.. I really enjoyed your video. I’m planning a trip to Guam to visit family (I’ve never really met them yet) but anyway I loved the Vid. And you seem like a really cool guy.

I grew up here! Thanks for this!

welcome to Guam. like you said, its a small island but its nice and wherever you go you're always near a beach. when the island opens up and activities start up again you should come to our village fiestas... everyone's invited. just walk in to people's houses that are celebrating and eat up. just be nice and respectful.. its all good.

Hello, I’m in the process of joining the USAF soon and I just wanted to thank you for the good vlog!

Harvest baptist is an amazing church there I attended. Great place for new people to the island.

My family and I are about to PCS here thanks for sharing this 👌🏻

Joe! Outstanding. Congratulations on the car. Call her SUNSHINE. Enjoy yourself. Be safe

Yo man I’ve been here a few months now but I wanna thank you lots for this I was really curious on what I’d be getting myself into when heading to Guam

Oh good lord, if you think ur breaking the bank at the commissary, I HIGHLY recommend you don't go to ANY grocery store outside the base😂😂

Wow this was great info guam is my first duty station and i’m very nervous about going but this video definitely helped a lot i know i’m very late though lol

I was there in the 80s. Be sure to take vacations to South Korea, Japan, Australia, and nearby islands. Guam would be a wonderful place to give scuba diving a chance. I remember going down to Hotel Row (is it still called that?) and going to the night clubs.

i lived in those dorms in 1990. i was in the army working at the andersen veterinary clinic. it was 2 airmen per room back then. there were wall lockers where your fridge is.

Thanks for sharing this video, I am getting stationed there in august! I have been curious about the barracks and gym etc.

good stuff brother the video was very entertaining, best of luck with everything brother

Welcome to Guam! I’m so happy to know you’re enjoying the island. 🥺 If you’re looking for a local friend to show you all the places that isn’t tourist trappy I’m your girl! Would love to show you around if you’re up to it!

I’m going to be stationed in Guam in a few months after tech school and I’m from there so i was anxious how the dorms looked. Are there new ones that are built?

The Navy is sending me out there for my first duty station too. Found your vids looking for how imma be living out there. Glad to see you don't share the sleeping area

ayyeee. i'm leaving to guam at the end of may! hopefully we can link up and hoop. safe travels though. i'm glad you love it there.

Wish you the best in your Airforce career!! Your doing great and I’m looking forward to seeing More videos from you in Guam!!🙏🏽❤️

I was stationed there '96 - '97 assigned to the AMC squadron back. The dorms look the same.

I get what your saying with the adjusting before showing us the viewers your practically new life style! take your time!

Wish you nothing but the best ❤️

Great video! would have loved to see what rhe beaches look like on base

Definitely get the GoPro if you’re into snorkeling and hiking 👏🏾

Great video! Was there 89-91. Too bad you couldn’t show the gym. Spent a lot of time on that court and weight room.

Great vid 💯

Great video. Thanks!

My man! Was so happy to see your car on the reveal! Smart move paying cash for such a reliable vehicle! Will definitely serve you well and you didn't waste any hard earned money! Stack while you are there and get all the training/experience you can get! And stay away from the chicken 🐔 heads and mud ducks! They're nothing but trouble!

Dirtboyz 4 life...what up my boi? Enjoy the island

That was a good video bro that dude looked like me 😂😂

thanks Joe nice tour

Can wait to join the Air Force fr fr

Very coool!!!

Thanks for the video!

I was stationed there in 1969-1972. My wife and I visited again in 2023 after 51 years

Niceeee👍🏽

Hi Mr. Miller, thank you for your service. My son just got to Guam today for his FDS. He is in quarantine as you probably know. My question is, are you able to get internet in the dorms? And what cell phone service is best for Guam? Thanks in advance. Would love for you to meet him.

Have you ever made a difficult decision before and thoughts about the decision that you choose? Btw love your video ❤️

Thanks for the content.

Wow, Great video & Informative. Can't wait til you show us more of the Island. Ie. The beach

When I was there in 1972 there were no dorm rooms like that. We had 4 guys in one small room

QUICK QUESTION : WHAT ABOUT IF I HAVE INTEREST TO JOIN THE AIRFORCE AND ALSO WHAT IF I DID AIR FORCE ROTC TO BACK IN MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS COULD I USE THAT TO ENLIST IN THE AIR FORCE?

Nice video ! I’ll get to Guam in November

Nice video !

Hey Joe,I’m enjoying your video. Thinking about moving to Guam so my wife will be closer to her family in the Philippines. We’re still waiting for her green card
