Default Anyone have any kind of experience in Arabian Peninsula countries?
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, or Kuwait? I'm especially interested in talking to someone who has dealt with government officials in these countries, or performed any kind of building inspection there, civilian, military, US government, etc.

I fell in love with a beautiful goat in Dhahran, Saudia Arabia back in '82. I was lonely and..... well you can imagine.

Please guys, take it here.

This is difficult enough without turning the thread into a joke with the first reply.

I trained Saudi aviators and we were briefed by our State Dept on how to deal or work with them. I will call you some time tomorrow or the next day as I will out of the office most of the day.


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

I have a great goat joke, but due to my respect for Kenton, I will leave it alone.
