Hi! My son just deployed to Iraq/Kuwait for a 12-15 month tour, I will ask him in an e-mail and let you know what I find out. I know he was already there for a while but I don't get alot of information. I will be sure and ask! Thank your loved one for his service! God Bless all of you.

Thanks ShelbyS abd coastiemom for the information and reply.

This place is great, isn't it? Yea!

My husband was there for a few months. They have a bx/px. he bought a Wii there.lol. It's not too bad there. Thats where the Army goes to vacate after being in Bagdad and such. I didn't need to send him really anything.

Hi! I asked my son and he said there are alot of different bases there which one will he be at? Let me know and I will e-mail him the info and he can let me know. Take care.

Thanks costiemom... I'll ask hubby and will get back to you. Thank you for asking your son.

Hello Kim,
I was wondering what base is he going to be on? Airifjhon (don't mind me if the spelling is wrong) I spelt it like it sounds, I know that one has a PX on it the biggest one in kuwait, and it is the main base in kuwait. Camp Udari is out in the middle of the desert close to Iraq and there isn't much out there, but a small PX I know is on there.
My husband contracted out for a company out at camp Udari. I stayed with him while he was there. Kuwait isn't that bad. Just have to be really careful driving, you take your life into your hands every time you do.
There is pleanty of shopping you can do in kuwait. The grocery store called the Sultan Center has alot of american things in it. A cool mall is the marina mall, they have tons of stuff there, Another is called the Avenues. I forget which ring road it is off of, but that has an IKEA in it. Jahra is another place a lot of americans go to shop, but again the driving is crazy. If you feel up to it you could always fly to visit him there. It isn't that bad there. There are pleanty of really nice hotels to stay in and pleanty of english speaking people. I stayed there 4months alone while my husband had to go to Iraq and I would go back if had too, wouldn't be my first choice, but its do able. It was an experience. And you should research and think about visiting really...Just not until atleast Dec, its cooler then.

I wish you the best of luck and thank you both for your service.... To our country...

My husband was there (I think 3 times...or was it 4??). Anyway, wherever he was he was a distance from the BX/PX but managed to get there regularly. He did very few trips to local towns but enjoyed them when he was able to get away. Communication was a intermitent, but the last time I did get email regularly.
I told him that if he made one more trip there, we were buying property and that would be my "winter home" !!!!!

God Bless you and yours.
