I think I'd do it for the money and everything being covered, as long as they don't stick you with a crappy place to live. As far as the no friend's thing, if you're making double, and your wife can get another job there making decent money, you should have plenty of money, so you could solve the no friends issue by planning trips back home fairly often.

Go see the world man... USA will be here when you're done.

Is this true if I ship a old school muscle car like a 64 mustang or a camaro (fair shape) I can trade it for a 2010 or newer porsche cayman or sell it for $50,000US? Qatari people love old school US muscle cars and its rare in Qatar.

Here's my advice.

Take that job, buy a car & mod it like crazy & send it to me as a gift, cuz you love me lmao

On serious note, it's worth going. I know sometimes, money isn't a thing, but going different part of the world & getting an experience is worth it.

That I'm not sure... I was mainly on an installation and didn't get off base much. While there the rumors had started about it becoming an "accompanied" location where family could join you... As for the cars I'd suggest checking out their import laws (and SOFA agreement if it applies to you) to see if that is a possibility. In the UK I know a few service members made out very well with newer mustangs, vetts and challengers.

friends are saying one good part about me going to a different country is I will have a toyota GT86 badge on my car instead of scion, I don't know why my friends are so against scion and me getting one back then, but they all have & had toyota? I keep telling them its same car I don't care... I'm still getting a FRS or GT86 unless something comes out better.

The market for old muscle cars there will be better than it is in the US, but unless you go with a very desirable model i.e. Boss 302, AAR Barracuda, Camaro Z/28 (first gen) you won't be getting new Porsche money for it. A clean Mustang coupe from the 60's could probably bring you between $20k-$30k though. Most of the people there that have crazy money to spend on American classics have enough money to come to the US and get them at auctions. I have a buddy teaching in Kuwait, which is a bit more conservative than Qatar, and he seems to be enjoying it. He goes to Europe just about any time he has a long weekend.
