3) There are a number of fast food restaurants available including: Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Burger King, and Dairy Queen.
4) No one carries a firearm (except for MP's), yet occupants of this base receive Hostile Fire Pay/Imminent Danger Pay, Hardship Duty Pay, and Combat Zone Tax Exclusion.
5) Scheduled outings where groups of personnel can go on a tour of different parts of the city and participate in golf tournaments.
