Camp Roxas may have been a camp for work, but it was way
more than that. Camp Roxas was a community for everyone. The village was
built on 129 acres of Naval Reservation, and had 353 good conditioned cottages
and stores-mostly styled in early vintage Quonset hut. This camp had almost
everything for the enjoyment and comfort of the people, such as movies, boxing
fights, a bowling alley, and a large sports arena, exchange and so much more.
The laborers at Camp Roxas called the village "Home Away From Home."
This was a very independent community because all of the facilities were
provided by the Navy. Camp Roxas had 353 buildings and 245 buildings were
living quarters. Each building can house 14 to 18 men. They had their own post office, chapel, and barbershop. They ate three meals a
day at the galley, and if some of the workers were at the construction site then
the food will be delivered to them.
A man named Oscar Delfin was interviewed after they were done re-building Guam. He was a participant and a worker in Camp Roxas. He said that there was not a lot of trouble in all of the years that he was at the village. "We had our own security system, and we just took care of ourselves. We were most proud of our hospital staff. We had a surgical ward, a dentist, and (of course), nurses," said Delfin.
There were many rights that Camp Roxas had. The workers and laborers were allowed to do as they wanted but they had to follow rules and restrictions such as doing their jobs. Plus, they were also allowed to go to the recreation areas and have exciting nights with movies, and boxing fights to let off some steam. They also had the right to go to the clinic if they were sick or injured.
There were also many responsibilities that they had, such as doing their jobs. They were responsible for working every day and doing the maximum that they can do.The laborers were responsible for keeping their houses clean and to maintain the toilet facility. The workers were responsible for their actions. If one of the workers did not do what they were supposed to do or they disobeyed the rules, then that person would have to deal with the consequences.
