PO1 Private RallyPoint Member — Fri, 16 Oct 2015 13:01:27 -0400

So, I got approved for OSA orders to Bahrain. it just says Bahrain but I looked the UIC up and it says ISA Air base and the Noble Eagle # says Medical Agumentation team. Can anyone give me info on this. What I'll be doing, will I actually be at the airbase, special pays we rate there. It'll be a 210 day TAD. Any info help thanks

Bahrain has lots of clubs for imbibing alcohol.

no you will be living at ISA Airbase there is no special pay the only thing is you get your pay check is tax free. You will deploy down range to Iraq, Afghanistan or where ever they need you.

You should contact your detailer and not go through a civilian web page for this, did they not give you instructions on opsec and etc. Never give out location, units etc.

I have never heard of the airbase, but if it's Bahrain naval base, then you will enjoy. That base has come a long way since the 80's when it was mostly sand. Nice big exchange. Nice gyms and housing. Nice MWR with excellent new movies etc. off base all the American places you like from Macdonald, Burger King, Pizza places, subways, excellent American restaurants, great clubs. I would take Bahrain in a heart beat!

It's been a while since I've been there but yes it was on the airbase. You should have access to the flight line area for loading/unloading of aircraft and of course maintenance. There is a per diem there but what it is now is anyone's guess. I loved it.
