His FOB is basically in the middle of nowhere, so the only contact he has with residents is with those who are employees on the base; and yes, they are very grateful for the military presence and treat the guys just great.
When he is not on duty or on patrol, there is not much to do in his "down time". IOW, boredom is a factor. They were having fun hunting lizards for a while, until they found out that the poisonous scorpions like to hide out in the same holes. So that put a stop to the lizard hunts.:)
The time he has spent in Iraq has been interesting to him. It's the only time they get to see kids, and they (the kids) just coming running right up to them whenever they stop the convoy, asking for water & candy, mostly water though.

It's a shame this is probably his list visit to the USA as PM. He's really turned out to be a good guy.

I know several people have posted ideas for 'bug control'..mosquito's particularly?
I find that Skin so Soft (Avon) is wonderful. When I travel I have a washcloth soaked in it. Put it in baggie & after bath wipe the oil over my body.
Bugs are repelled by some ingredient in it. So much nicer than the strong bug sprays.

That looks like it might be dangerous if you threw it at someone.
