lol, thanks all. I was waiting for an R&R story from Vietnam. As a Gen-X'er, I ended up in Iraq and Afghanistan - and now I live in the land of camels (and beautiful women in case my wife reads this thread). You know what R&R was for a US soldier in Iraq? 3 days at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar with a 3 beer/day max, and of course, only for those 21 and older. But on the bright side, no special shots required prior to boarding the C-130 back to Baghdad.
