I recently posted a question about this in another thread, but was looking for more information. (Thanks, Ottopilot, for your help.) A few questions:

Are new hires at CAL being placed in Guam?
If so, how long MUST you stay there?
If you are put there, how often do the schedules let you get back to the states?
More specifically, what is life like for a married couple when you get there? I'm trying to talk the roommate-for-life into a little "adventure" for a year or so, but I all I can tell her is it's summer year round, the occasional typhoon, and there's lots of snakes. And bugs, apparently. (Thank you, Encarta.)

I've heard it's great flying, but that doesn't appeal to the woman. "Hey babe, it's great flying." "Fantastic honey, while you're doing that, I'll be making homemade bug nets."

Do pilots actually live in Guam, or do they live in Honolulu or Tokyo or something and commute?

Currently applying to CAL, but wondering if hesitation about Guam will hurt the process.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
