I've been there a few times for about a week, each time.

It is like living in a hairdryer.

I went there for an R&R from my real deployment in 2004.

You'll love it. Live in Air Conditioned boxes, booze allowed to those stationed there, and all the dick you can suck, OP.

About the same in 2015. They were moving from the last tent DFAC to all actual buildings, but the weekly booze ration went from 3 drinks to 3 'standard drinks'

What does that mean? Is "standard drinks" code for something?

When we were on R&R in '04, you were given 3 tickets, and for each ticket, you could buy a beer. (Tuborg and some other 16 oz. beers were offered). Nobody kept track of how many tickets you cashed, so you could buy extra tickets (or just get 'em from non-drinking buddies).

Was a decent time.

We were allowed one off-post trip, too. Went to a nice mall, and then went to an ex-pat Holiday Inn and drank at a bar in the basement next to some indoor tennis courts with some British folks visiting there.

...Got "good" that day, and pissed on the T-walls while the bus was being checked when coming back onto base...

...Ate at the Chilis on the first day we got there. Was a total culture shock after having been in Baghdad for 9 months.

It practically feels like yesterday, but I am sure that TONS of stuff has changed since then- I mean, it was over a decade ago.

I am old. Old. Balls.

It looks like GFD

They scan your ID now and units have to send bodies to walk around the Bra (and other drinking areas) to make sure that you're not sending your non-drinkers over to bring you more drinks.
Tip: Make friends with the brits. They have a bar there with no limit on drinks. US forces are welcome by invitation only.
...When our squadron showed up, they said they liked the Marines and gave us an open invitation.

Spent my entire time there picking up used condoms and piss bottles and politely asking people not to have sex on government property.

It would've been fun if it weren't so fucking hot all the time

Whats that?

>>32200541
Standard drinks is somany mills of alcohol.
So rather than 3 beers, because each heavy beer was 1.8 standard drinks, you could only get 1.6 beers, so only 1 heavy beer or 2.4 light beers

If you are who I think you are; OPSEC, fucker.

>>32200604
I should have known that. If there's a good time to be had, then somebody has to "big brother" it enough to fuck it up.

Anyhow- OP, if I had to do another "deployment", and Al Udeid was an option, I would be like, "Hell Yeah!".

To a degree, I envy you.

Oh, man. That is ghey.

If you use tobacco you should either quit now or start buying in bulk. They don't sell tobacco on base. Qatari customs will also seize any tobacco they find coming in.

I don't think you know what OPSEC means

If this is some special military code it's working

>>32199765
Been through there a few times.

One time, they put us in a tent with no A/C, so I took a bunch of bottled water and soaked a blanket and took a nap with it. An hour or two later, I woke up and the blanket was bone dry.

Still better than Florida.
