Mmmmmm ... ...

Reefdog o'l darlin ... your a mite out of touch ....

Old hands are going to Saudi 'cos they know the conditions and what to expect ... perhaps they will only start the contract perhaps they will stay.

ADA's obligation in Zakum is no longer what it used to be .... emphasis is now on better things elsewhere ... and nobody is complaining about that ... Umm Shaif, Mubarraz and Bunduq ops now are used to get 'new chums' sorted and up to speed ... and then its up to an individuals abilities, personality etc etc to see what and where they end up!

The beloved (?) camp is on the way out .... BUT for some it will be sorely missed ... yes it has its problems but it also has many social advantages ... it all depends on who you are, what you expect and all of that .... the new setup may well be a better or worse ... time will tell ....

Certainly the Grand Mosque does not pose any more noise issues than would be normally be associated with normal life in an Islamic country ...

As 'Griffo' says .... those interested will get to fly with some really good blokes .....


Give it a try .....
