Trying to visit my marine husband in okinawa japan? »

What are the living conditions like on base in Djibouti? How safe is the area?

CR asked:

I am a Navy civilian soon to be sent to Djibouti. We are told we will be staying on base (because there are no hotels nearby?), and we’re guessing this means Camp Lemonier. We have heard that they live in tents or container living units. What are these like? Do the CLUs have bathrooms? Is the area very dangerous? They say we’ll be very safe, but we are reading otherwise on the Internet! Any information from anyone stationed there would be appreciated!

Its not a dangerous area, but a very depressing environment, its nothing but desert with nothing worth seeing in the whole country, and its very hot and dusty their as well, the conditions of that country **** worse than any foreign country i have ever been to that’s not a war zone.
