NCOs & Leaders: I'm getting ready to deploy to Qatar with an NG Infantry unit. As a Squad Leader, what should I be on the lookout for?

SSG (Join to see) Since I just came from there, I would say watch out for the bored Soldier doing stupid shit, not really much of a threat in Qatar but plenty to do off post. And watch for those negligent discharges since the previous NG unit had 2 on the checkpoints.

I was literally just thinking about that last night. Spot checking weapons and what not making sure no rds chambered.

They will get you in trouble by association too. Take care of you battle buddy just dont let him land you in the Commanders Office. Or the whole Base or Post locked down because the actions of a few. Just remember why and what you joined for, stay resilient, safe, and keep a F*&CK#d up sense of humor.

SSG (Join to see) - Yeah I didn't think it had many if any. I mean the threat level can't be too high if you can't even carry weapons except for the sec forces guys at the gates
