What's the berthing like at Isa Bahrain? Is there a gym to work out or anything else to do out there?

I was there just recently and came back home in December. There is a gym, a 24 hr Cardio gym and a regular weight gym. There are plans to combine them, but won't be ready for some time. There is a galley there that serves decent food, and 2 food trucks that does come in everyday. They have an MWR building with TV's, pool tables, consoles and 2 theaters, one that plays newer movies and the other that plays DVDS. Berthing, you could either be put in a newer 3 room conex box or a 4 room conex box. The 3 room conex box is newer, and as an E5, you'll have a room to your self. Bunk bed, a closet, mini fridge and a TV. There is a smaller NEX and bagel shop there, but they do have a shuttle bus to go up north to NSA Manama a few times every day. Let me know if you want to know anything else.

Was TDY to Bahrain in 2010 as an Army Civilian. We stayed “downtown” in a nice hotel. Visited Navy base every day to work. Overall base is very small but very nice. Some personnel assigned there live in apartments in town that the US Govt rents. Some live on the base. Eating facilities were good. Also many major US chain restaurants just outside the gate. Bahrain people were stand-offish but polite. Bahrain service workers spoke at least some English.

Has anyone been recently, I'm set to go in April. Just wondering what its like now and what to expect. I'm guessing I'll be working Air ops since I'm an ABH
