It was overrun with snakes. The brown tree snakes ate all the bird eggs, so for many years there were almost no birds to be seen anywhere on Guam. When we would land and take off from Andersen they would bring out a Beagle that was trained to sniff out snakes that may have crawled onto the airplane when nobody was looking. I haven't been there in maybe 5 years, but the bird population was starting to make a comeback, due to a law saying you could shoot or kill the snakes whenever possible.I think the island turned out a bit different than she hoped. The heat and humidity was bad, but she was used to that being a Texas girl. Being overrun with snakes and spiders was a hole other issue though...
Shouldn't be too hard to tell who I am. Hey Sarge for the screen name, and an Air Force logo. Yeah you guessed it, I'm a Sergeant in the US Air Force, 24 years. Proud 590A1 owner, among many others.
Welcome aboard Sir. I come from a family that serves in the military as part of the family tradition (Army/AF/Navy/National Guard). Navy-My stepfather was a CPO on the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. I remember going aboard as a kid when it docked in NYC. Talk about being impressed...Spent 7 years as an airdale 38 or so years ago. Served on CVN65 and a few other stations, but the Enterprise was always my favorite.
