My son is an MA in his second year of enlistment. He has nearly completed his first duty station assignment at Souda Bay in Crete, Greece. He did complete his harbor patrol qualification while there. His next duty station will be Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. I would love to hear people's thoughts on this base, as well as, best ways to communicate with him as it seems difficult. Also, any advice for him for the next year?
Thanks in advance for the discussion.

It's isolated, but many ships and aircraft visit. Overall, most who serve there like it, and opportunities to get off the island to visit other countries are available, though not many.
