I heard there is an AD there that gives great discounts, but you have to go in person.

Are you a reserve JA? Good luck. And a Explorer-II, Sub, SD, or GMT-II would all be fantastic travel companions in that part of the world. I'd recommend a NATO though--much more comfortable with all of the sweat and dust.

It is everything people who read your posts would expect of you.

Some people here have skills in demand over there.
When trying to broach the subject of this overseas work,
"you're joking" is the response one gets from spouse.
Let alone trying to tell your dad you are being asked to do
general contractor services under a "top secret" cloak.

It can be something of which to joke, after the right is earned.
