Guam Post News |
Hafa Adai, On behalf
of all of our members I would like to welcome you to the Guam Post of the
Society of American Military Engineers. Currently our post is comprised of
approximately 60 members with a large mixture of active duty, civil service,
and contractor personnel. Located
nearly 3,000 miles west of Hawaii, Guam boasts the westernmost point of U.S.
soil. That very fact has once again has raised the strategic importance of
Guam to our National Defense. The military investment is rising and the times
are exciting and full of challenges for the Military engineer community.
With
nearly 1/3 of the island occupied by military installations, military
spending is a vital ingredient to the health of the local economy. As such,
the local culture is extremely patriotic and supportive of the U.S.
military's presence on the island. There is much to do on Guam for our
community, both on base and off base. The Guam
Post is active in the local community and in the local economy. Through our
Charlie Corn Scholarships, we offer nearly $10,000 each year to benefit local
students interested in engineering and related fields. Our members are
closely connected with the Guam
Chamber of Commerce, Guam
Contractor's Association and nearly every other agency and organization
on the island. Exciting
times lie ahead for Guam and the Guam Post as military buildup and the
subsequent military spending has everyone on the island energetically
waiting. From Andersen Air Force Base
in the North to the Naval Base in the
South, the road ahead seems bright for both government agencies and
contractors alike. We hope
you will join us in either the government or contracting realm, we will need
a strong team to build the road that lies ahead for the Guam Military
Infrastructure and SAME is taking point!! |
