Tour Photos from Djibouti, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, and London!

The Project Gratitude tour was Dec 2015-Jan 2016 spanning over SW Asia and London!  This was a tour setup specifically for entertaining the US troops stationed abroad over the holiday season.  Our mission: bring some Jet City Rock to the troops!

Check out some of the photos from the tour!    Photos are also available on Facebook for you Facebook users :)

Bullet points on what we learned:
  • The troops are incredible!  We loved hanging with them and getting to see a piece of their world
  • Camels are funny creatures
  • DFAC (Dining Facility) feeds us better than we get in the States
  • Everybody is an awesome shape thanks to the many, many, many gyms on base
  • Kuwait driving was the scariest of all the countries we visited
  • Collecting Military Coins is addictive
  • The people working at the laundry facilities are wizards.  That's right Harry, wizards....or laundry ninjas.
