Helpfulness
Life outside the water echoes the tides of the sea, with a mostly Navy military population shifting in and out in one year tours. A stable water table of Filipino and Mauritian contractors, peppered with a handful of stalwart Americans, provide the island's only human stability. It would be impossible to overstate the contributions that these patient people have made to the integrity of our joint service forces in the Indian Ocean/Arabian Sea regions. Enabling a robust resource in support of sustained operations in the Arabian Sea, these folks, many of whom have remained on the island for over 10 years, play as great a role in regional stabilization as do the uniformed short-timers that ebb and flow.

Located in the downtown area this part of the island is a good place to relax and maybe do some fishing . If you are in the mood for some beach volleyball the court is located in this area.
