Majestik Møøse Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The gym is comically small for the amount of people we have here these days. On the plus side, there's a giant BX now that's filled with useless stuff. Who the hell is buying food and formal wear out here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarheadBoom Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I just got back; there were a few -10 crews that got off base a few times during their standard-duration deployment, so in theory it's possible once you get your Emirati badge. If you want to do this, I highly recommend getting signed off as an off-base driver; it will open up a lot more options for getting off base on your own schedule, plus you could make some money/score some free meals from crews looking for a driver to get them off base for a non-MWR day trip. All this is, of course, dependent on how willing your leadership will be to let you go off base frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.M. Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) Any updates? Specifically, if your wife comes to visit Abu Dhabi for a month or so or her company is easily able to move her there what are the chances that you'll get out to get out to see her frequently If your work schedule allows for 365 types. Visiting during the day shouldn't be an issue, but there is a curfew restriction that folks have to be in their cells for lights out at midnight. It might be different for perm party, but you should look into it before making promises to your other half. Edit: And '2' for what Jarhead said. Off-base driver is a MUST!!!

Spinner Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Wasn't too bad this year, the number of days with really high humidity was fairly low. Now the temps are topping out around 105, so the weather is getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertamus47 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Can’t speak to the job but Abu Dhabi is a pretty cool place. More laid back than Dubai and lots of expats. Waterfront and beach is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inputs? Leadership climate? Got the same email. Bros in the office say it’s a sweet deal, I’ve been gone so much over the past few years otherwise I’d probably put in for it too.
