    U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Tory Grodstein, from Muskegon, Mi., pulls ahead of Senior Airman Wesley King, from Georgetown, Texas, while riding all-terrain vehicles outside a Qatar general's beach home, April 20. The Qatar armed forces chief of staff invited over 400 service members to enjoy beach activities, water crafts, falcon exhibitions, camel rides, all-terrain vehicles and Arabic cuisine. "I never expected to be able to do all this in Qatar!" said Grodstein. "But the best thing is we have no weapon to lug around." Grodstein and King were participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program at Camp As Sayliyah, a U.S. military installation in Qatar. Since it's inception in 2004, the program has provided over 155,000 war fighters, serving in Southwest Asia, a brief respite from combat operations.
