I recommend that you guys spend some years in the military
Thanks, been there, done that. It still never had the restrictions on personal liberties that I have seen and heard of from colleagues in Doha. With the exception of operational deployments I still had the liberty to live where I wished, see who I wished and do as I wished.
Plus I got to play with lots of very fast and very expensive toys.
Now I play with the big, well paid boring stuff. It is boring flying though. Just remember that.
Enjoy the sand pit.
