What's it like for soldiers at Guantanamo Bay?

It's been a long time since I was at GTMO (2002 as a 2LT when the camp was opened). Even then it wasnt bad. There's a bowling alley, a bar, a McDonald's, an outdoor movie theater, multiple Dining Facilities, beaches, fishing, scuba diving lessons and for a few hundred dollars you can take a plane to Jamaica for a 4 day pass (im told, never did myself).

I hear it's the place to be now.

We anchored offshore during Haitian Vacation. I'd guess they have most of what any serviceman needs. Restrictions on liberty for obvious reasons.

I just got back from deployment there. The housing is fairly decent, pretty basic. T-Mobile is the only cell provider and it works quite well. There is Navy WiFi thru Viasat and it's decent enough...although it can get pricey depending on your plan. You'll end up living in either 2 man apartment style rooms or 5 man rooms with dividers and separate shower/laundry buildings. The Navy chow is good.
