Hi, Thanks so much for the information. I did see the hospital video on Facebook. The building is a shell. One big regret is I did not stay there longer, I was there 18 months, and could have stayed 3 years. We can't change the past. My mom is ... Read More

Thanks, Rudy. I know how it was at Clark. I would relocate there for a time maybe... but not permanently. I would locate probably to another area near the ocean. I am hooked up with the VA now already. I was medically discharged before 20 years but ... Read More

I was stationed at Clark in the early 1980s. I would not mind going back. However, there might be other areas that would be better to settle in long term. I have a pension. I am 54. The peso rate is great. I am thinking of going in a year or two. ... Read More
Move to Puerto Rico? by glennrussellm

I have not been to Panama or Puerto Rico yet. I lived in the Philippines in the early 1980s when I was stationed at Clark Air Base. I would return there, but there is the danger of terrorism in the Philippines to worry about in the future, I think ... Read More

Thanks for understanding. I am not on a 1K a month budget. It is possible to live in these countries with a 2K a month budget as I have been told by others. I knew some extremely wealthy people in my past... from living in California. I see how ... Read More

Thanks for the information. I have heard San Juan is very expensive. My income is good for a retiree. I am leaning towards Puerto Rico now. The VA is OK, and free. I earn more than the maximum SS amount, as an example. While I am nowhere near ... Read More

Thanks, Rey. I figure I have to go to a big city. Like San Juan. I have the VA for healthcare. It is a headache getting around the town I'm in now in the USA without driving. My income is quite high for most retirees, and I'm only 54. I am ... Read More
