Synopsis

I attended the Naval Academy from 1967 to 1971, during the height of the Vietnam War. During the course of my career, I served as an officer in the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps and gained extensive experience as a project and construction management officer. After twenty years, I retired as the most experienced construction program management officer in the Navy.This experience led to my being hired by Saudi Aramco after I retired from the Navy. My assignments were to help contract for the design and construction of a corporate headquarters for Aramco in Dhahran, then to contract to design-build corporate offices in four locations in the eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.In the last 18 months of my assignment I was sent to the deep desert to a oil camp to construct schools for the local Saudis.During those years in Arabia, I paid a great deal of attention to the cultural differences and the attitudes of the Saudis and the Americans who worked for them. I also realized that one very wrong step could result in a disaster. This is a story of what could go wrong living in a conservative Wahabi nation.
