Kuwait, I have two words to discribe it, "very hot" (dry heat). But if you are cool with the year around summer tempatures than go for it.
I am currently living in Bahrain about a 35 min. flight away from Kuwait. I'm hear in the military and my detachment travels between the two several times a week. I havn't had much of a chance to see anything out side of the Air Force base in Kuwait but from what I noticed flying over head, its mostly desert with small towns located five to six miles apart from each other. There is nothing there.
If you have never been over seas before or lived out of the US for a while, than with a new family I wouldn't recomend it. I would look for something a little more family freindly were it wouldn't be so hard for your wife to adjust. My wife is Japanese so I dealt with the adjustment issues when she moved to California with me. It wasn't easy, and with our newborn, it still isn't.
It's just something to think about, but good look on your choice man. I guess if you leave than you will be leaving us here at CEG also.
