I work in a J/G1 and all the information I have been given is yes. I am trying to see if anyone has been deployed to Israel and could provide me with more information. I am not being assigned to an embassy, from what I am tracking I will be near the southern tip of Israel. The mission is to maintain radar and provide early warning against TBM Threats.

AR 670-1, Paragraph 19-17, Subsections B14 and B15. You are authorized for Israel if you were deployed there ISO OIF (Mar 2003-August 2010) and OND (Sep 2010-Dec 2011). That's it.

No. Israel is not a qualifying country for a SSI-FWTS unless it was for OIF (2003-2010) and OND (2010-2011).
Reference:
AR 670-1 Chapter 19-17 Paragraph (b) subpara (14) (15)

Only if you indulge in Israeli cuisine. The food there is almost as bad as in Britain.

NOT. Where else can you find Jewish Cuisine that spans the globe; for shame Sgt, for shame. Ok, excuse me, but I grew up in the Mid-Atlantic states where one could find a blend of ethnic Jewish cuisine: Russian Eastern European, Mediterranean, Ethiopian, Asian; all living in or near the Lower East Side of NYC. {Did a year with the MFO '89 to 90}.
