<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Boredom and complacency. I returned from a trip to Qatar in July and because it's a low threat environment, and because you'll most likely be assigned the FORCEPRO mission and all its associated tasks, there will be a lot of repetition and doing, literally, nothing. <br /><br />The key task for you will be to keep your Soldier's engaged and feeling relevant to the greater CENTCOM mission.<br /><br />Utilize MWR resources to get your people off base and doing stuff, if possible and since Qatar is a hub of activity for all of CENTCOM, keep your people informed (within the parameters of OPSEC) on what's going on the in the region and why the security they provide is important, assuming of course, you're doing physical security.SFC Marcus BeltThu, 17 Nov 2016 10:00:57 -05002016-11-17T10:00:57-05:00Response by CSM Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 17 at 2016 11:26 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As CPL Goolsby and MSG Harrington said, know your guys and watch for changes, and keep them the hell away from alcohol. On our forcepro mission to HOA, we had constant access to alcohol and the command allowed limited consumption in the beginning. Long story short, one of our guys had some shit going on back home, got blackout drunk, and caused a blue on blue situation resulting in 2 personnel sent to Germany with gunshot wounds and a court-martial. Our entire platoon suffered 5 hours of hell and many a couple years of physiological shit as a result of something that could have been avoided by a strict no alcohol policy. Your joes will hate you for it, but it's well worth it, trust me. Make it up to them in other ways. Just remember they don't need to like you, they need to respect you. Nothing in my life or training could have prepared me to spend an hour asking myself if I was prepared to pull the trigger when my close friend and brother opened his door and pointed a weapon at me. Always do what your soldiers NEED you to do, not what they WANT you to do. Good luck and make the best of it. That kind of deployment is an excellent opportunity for Guardsmen to increase proficiency and complete career enhancing training.SSG Kyle WurtzThu, 24 Nov 2016 17:02:38 -05002016-11-24T17:02:38-05:00Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 27 at 2016 2:38 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Spent a year there doing Towers and ECP's. The biggest threat to soldiers over there is STD's and bored commanders who like paperwork (I almost got an article 15 for opening an MRE) not a bad deployment overall but it gets boring as all hell. I was at Camp As Sayliyah there is a pool, massage parlor, chilis, 2 nice gyms, driving range, putt putt course, movie theater, full size football field and two big mwr venues called the top off and the oasis. Pretty nice amenities but it does get boringSPC John HornbrookFri, 13 Jan 2017 20:22:36 -05002017-01-13T20:22:36-05:00Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 17 at 2017 8:59 AM

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Keep them from getting bored. I just got back from Qatar as deployments go it’s super boring and not an ideal deployment for Infantry. Keep your joes training and doing college courses or corespondent courses. We did EIB training as well. The Top Off and Oasis serve alcohol so that is a hot spot for trouble and SHARP complaints if you’re not careful. Brace yourself for the longest most boring 9 months of your life.SPC Private RallyPoint MemberWed, 17 Jan 2018 14:36:55 -05002018-01-17T14:36:55-05:00Response by SPC David Willis made Jan 17 at 2018 2:39 PM
