Are there any schools from other branches of service I can attend while stationed in Bahrain within a joint unit?

I'm looking to stay proactive in my career for a short tour I'm currently assigned. Soldier, joint unit, naval base, limited opportunities from what I see. Any suggestions on schools, online or resident courses. All assistance is appreciated.

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: You neglected to mention anything about your goals or desires aside from "stay proactive in your career". Explain that - are you looking to build up promotion points? Are you looking to get certifications in something? Are you looking to expand your knowledge base in some aspect of logistics? Etc.

A generic approach is to go to the COOL website*, plug in your MOS (shortcut is https://www.cool.osd.mil/army/moc/index.html?moc=92a), and then explore the various certifications and training available.

Explore what's available through the Army Training Network*, which serves as central link into the various official Army training sites (DTMS, CATS, SULT, etc.)

However, first and foremost you need to figure out the "why" of what you're doing, otherwise you're just doing something for the sake of doing something, which may be a completely ineffective method in achieving whatever your goals are.
