I'm about to deploy to the Naval Base in Bahrain. What should I know about it before I go?

Piece of cake. Nice place, but small compared to what you're used to.

Ricks is good, you can get ribs and beer in front of one of the largest mosques in the entire world. You should also be able to find someone who can show you to the Russian hookers from there.

It suck, it's hot, it's expensive. That should give you an idea. There was a cinderalla liberty while I was there. But have fun playing your video games on your XboxOne, PS4, or World of Warcraft.

Probably not super helpful, but my friend's husband was there for a year. He loved their schwarma and got several designer suits tailored to him for significantly less than what he would have paid back home.
