Any American military contractors ever work in Bahrain?

<h3>Any American military contractors ever work in Bahrain?</h3>

I am likely going to accept a job in Bahrain very soon. Is there anything fun to do in the Manama area? Is it safe enough to raise a family there (remember I'm a regular old white American guy). Any tips or suggestions about living in Bahrain would be greatly appreciated. I've already worked & lived in Afghanistan for a year, so I know more than most about living abroad.....I just want suggestions about Bahrain specifically.

<p><i>Answer by Shannon</i><br/>Safe. Not much to do. Worry about sea snakes if kids swim. South end of island is mostly desert. Power used to be unpredictable. Good wishes.</p>
