Sigonella Naval Air Station has three bases that they call the triangle. Each base is about a ten minute drive from one another. One of the bases has the air strip where we flew in and a tiny mental health office. This is where Nathan will be working. Another base is Maranai where all the housing is. The third base is where we're staying at that Navy Lodge. This base is really nice and has many amenities. There is a commissary for groceries and a NEX that is like a small Target. Here are some pictures of a few other buildings on base.

The base school for the kids has great reviews. The youngest three will be in kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grades at the elementary school. Wilson will start at the middle school. The school told us there are four kindergarten classes with about 14 kids per class and three classes in the rest of the grades with about 17 kids in a class. Those sound like small class sizes to me, which is great since there will be some social distancing measures in place. The school here is opening full time from the beginning of the year.
Here is the kindergarten playground.
Walking around the base.
We found a small Italian car. Archie is happy he is as tall as a car!
There are a few playgrounds around the base.
Overall, we love the style of the base. Seems like it will be a great place for the next three years!
