I just got back in Nov of 14. I worked on the JTF and Navstation. What were you wanting to know?

I was there 18 months ago and loved it. If you're assigned to the camps, it can be a difficult job at times, but your off time can be enjoyable. If you don't already scubadive, look into it once you get there. There is some great diving there! It's s a full up Naval base with all the things you'd expect to find at a base. You are restricted to base though for now. That may change with all the changes with US/Cuba relations. I'd go back in a heart beat. Good luck!!

Its not a bad place to go depending on what your role is there. Its like a mini-vacation. I went there apart of Joint Medical Group. Working Medical wasn't bad at all. 12 hour shifts 3 on 2 off. The guards shifts might be a bit much. Outside of work there is a lot of stuff to do if you like fishing and stuff. MWR does a lot of things. Its always nice and sunny for the most part. I was there 2007-2008. It rained 2 times while i was there (Tropical Storm and Hurricane). But its not bad depending on what your job is going to be.
