Pets- Bahrain

Can a dog go to Bahrain? Can service pets be declined entry?

I read the insightful post a few weeks ago about staying at a hotel. Any other useful tidbits or Intel available?

Thank you. This made me think of something else. If I ever get remarried how does that work? Would I have to pay to ship spouse and household goods?

In general however, a newly acquired dependent *spouse* (vs. newborn children who are added immediately at birth) will not acquire gov't paid personal travel and/or shipping until officially added to your next PCS orders or next RAT orders and assuming you've applied to add him/her and submitted the proof of the marriage. Btw, a PCS is Permanent Change of Station and is an official transfer to a new location), and RAT is Renewal Agreement Travel which is the gov't paid round trip home (only during summer for DoDDS teachers) when you've promised to teach another tour of one more or two more school years, which length of time depends on the given location's RAT tour status. So, if you marry when it's not your PCS or RAT time then *you* will pay out of pocket, i.e. not be reimbursed by the gov't, for your new spouse's travel and etc. costs *and* your new spouse must stay in compliance w/ the host country's entry permissions/restrictions (each country is different so you'd need to ask to that country's embassy or consulate for those particulars) *and* due to spouse not having official "command sponsorship" for the overseas military location you are assigned to during the interim time before spouse is officially added to your upcoming/next PCS/RAT orders, s/he will not have routine access to the base (temporary permit systems exist) nor any access to the base's official services, e.g. no on-base housing for spouse; if off- base, then your LQA amount won't take spouse into account; no exchange/commissary/etc. for your spouse; etc. As far as your new spouse's Household Goods are concerned, shipping date must wait until spouse is added to next orders and the weight of these things is counted against your authorized 18,000 pounds limit per assignment location, for all that you have shipped at gov't expense plus all that is in Non-Temp- Storage, NTS, at gov't expense. However, some federal benefits can be acquired by your new spouse *at* or very clsoe to the marriage date; health insurance coverage, FEHB, is an example but you'd still need to apply to add your spouse and submit the proof of marriage and do this within the allowed window, which is one month before marriage date to not later than two months after marriage date, else, you must wait to add new spouse to your federal insurances until the annual "Open Season" which usually is in the late Fall.
