I'm Mobilizing to Kuwait next month for 13 months. What's the place like? Any advice for me?

It's hot, sandy, and serves no purpose. However long you stay will be that many months of wasted time you can't get back. Take college classes online and work out as much as possible. May God have mercy on your soul.

It is very humid and hot there. Depends on where you go. I was at Camp Virgina in 2010 and we had a McDonald's, Aunt Annie's, Charley's, and a nice MWR with a movie theater. I was there half the time and spent majority of my time in Iraq because of my mission.

I'm at Buehring now. It's like 3 digit temperatures every day now. Looking at a high of 115 today. If you are going where I am, then hit me up when you get close, and I will tell you all about it.

Hot and windy winter can get brutal once you get used to the heat... MWR has many event check in with them and hydrate... Don't forget PT belt it's worse then in Harrison when it comes to or belts... Your or belt is as important as your cover over then don't get caught without it

Are you going to Camp Arifjan? If so, it's a nice camp with modern conveniences.

If you have new soldiers without a car back in the states, I would highly recommend you talk to them about taking advantage of the car sales exchange place that they have there. It's worth every penny. MWR travel should be opened back up. Good luck on your tour!!
