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.

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.

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.
