Kuwait - civilian or military flight out = no issues whatsover, receipt or none at all.
Qatar - civilan = confiscation of whatever the Qatari customs agent wants to confiscate with or without a receipt. miltary = documentation on a letter with serial numbers and original signature (I would suggest blue ink since it is easily determined original compared).
When I flew through Qatar in January, one of my my team members was deported for saying "what the fuck" to Qatari customs on the way out from there when they confiscated his sniper dope bag (bipod, cosign, etc). Since we were double booked, we had to cancel our return flight and have them fly/book through Kuwait.
We even had our cleaning kits, grip pods, etc. confiscated as well. It blew because some of that stuff was personally purchased and they deported him to Kuwait. If we would have originally landed in Kuwait and then left Kuwait for the US, we would have not experienced the ass pain. Instead we left Kuwait ( 2 days added to our trip) without our stuff at all because it was confiscated in Qatar.
My buddy is the SFM there and states there is nothing that can be done. The Qataris I guess were pissed about the Jews kicking the shit out of Lebanon again. Everyone knows that means westerners are the devil.
