This video walks through Al Udeid's BPC dorms and covers necessities and facts that can help you prep for your move. If you have any questions that you need answers to, put them in the comments. Don't forget OPSEC!
Excellent video Sir! I deployed there a little over three years ago. As an E-7 I was fortunate to have my own room, until my replacement came on six months later. The room was exactly like yours. Not a bad deployment at all!
I was there in 03, we still had the tents and the wagon wheel. I preferred the tents because we had privacy, albeit it came from shower curtain walls but I slept like a baby with the plenum blowing out nice AC 24/7. The dorms were just finishing up construction and making ready for occupancy.
I also was there in 03! Camp Andy. I remember the wagon wheel well. Were you there when it got shut down for the phantom 💩er? Someone took a crap on one of the tables one night and it was found the next day🤣 It was a big event. If I remember correctly, they closed the wagon wheel down for a few days until the person was caught. I liked my tent spot. AC worked good and privacy. All makeshift dividers like you said - shower curtains, comforters, plywood scraps, etc. Good times. I wish I still had my pictures. I was just happy not to be in Iraq. Thought for sure I'd be going. Got Al Dhafra for my 2nd deployment in 2005. Lucky I guess
I left before that happened, glad I did. One memory was my friend was doing CE remod work in the CAC. (I think that's what it was called) Anyway where the high ranking officers were doing their thing he found 2 porn DVD's behind a wall he demo'd and gave me one for my portable DVD player from the BX. As you'll recall Porn was not allowed in country. I watched it that night not realizing my headphones weren't plugged in completely. I was upset about how crappy the volume was and was shocked how loud the moaning was when I removed my headphones. The next day some airman said loudly "someone was watching porn last night" as I maintained a shocked attitude. I laugh often about that night. I was leaving 2 days later so all was cool. @@joeg5414
Also there in 03. The words "camp andy" brought back so much nostalgia and the wagon wheel. Still had a tent city that cooked you to death in the daytime, if it was your day off.
I’m getting ready to head there this week. LT you never told me you were famous😂😂. Don’t wanna put my last name on RU-vid but I worked with you in MDT. Hope you and the family are well.
Thanks alot for this video it's really helpful . Question please . as an Interpreter will I get like this room or still like back in days stay in a tent . Thanks
Great video !! Thank you for sharing. I hope you can post more about Al Udied and what Airmen can expect when they go!!! It’s a great great help!!! Also are there showers out in the hallway?!? Or do all 4 people have to use that 1 shower in that suite set up??? Also, do you ever run into problems of having to use the bathroom in that room to get ready for work but can’t because someone else is in it??? Thank you in advance!!!!
All 2-4 people would use that shower in the BPC dorms. As far as waiting for the shower/toilet, this is wholly dependent on your suitemate's schedule relative to your own. It is not a problem with my current set up. There are no common showers in the hall.
@@americanjagers6754 sir! Thank you for the thoughtful and descriptive answer! Helps a lot! Also! Are we allowed off base right now?? To go to banana island and that fancy mall in Doha like 30 minutes off base? ( of course I understand if you can’t say due to OPSEC ) I just didn’t know if there was still covid restrictions.
In 2016 BPC was E7 and above, one person per bedroom that shared that kitchen common area. So it was 2 people per suite. Kind of surprised to see that they are doubling up all ranks now. But they also had these trailer type quarters there back then too for all E6 and below. I assume they closed down/demolished all that stuff if they are making people double up in the BPC.
Trailer town, otherwise known as Q town, was for persons testing positive for Covid and those outprocessing. The doublestacks are usually for the E5s and below, depending on the unit, and the BPC was for the E5 and up, also depending on the unit. When I was there, they were starting to make BPC style buildings next to the double stacks.
I totally support your mission in the ME. America needs to be there. Glad to see what taxpayer dollars are buying. It seems having single rooms could work and then two units share a bathroom and kitchen. They could find another bigger TV and speakers for that media room.
Great videos… I have a possible job offer from Boeing to work on the base, my question is, do you know where contractors for Boeing stay? F15 APG Crew Chief
Hi so my husband will arrive there tomorrow and he’s to be deployed for a year but gets to have a break between after 6 months will he have a roommate ?
