Depends on which Middle Eastern Muslim country he's stationed at. As mentioned before in this thread the military enacts a general prohibition on pornography and 'racy' men's magazines.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are really conservative Islamic countries, though the surrounding countries, such as Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates vary in their interpretation on the sharia or Islamic law.
The Saudis, being that the ruling royal family embraces the strictly conservative Wahhabi sect and also custodians of two of the three holiest cities in Islam (Mecca and Medina -- the third is Jerusalem) are the real hard-a**es in enforcing the law. The matawain or religious police stalk around the streets looking for violations of Islamic law, and are not afraid to crack the whip at some female (Islamic or foreigner) who dares to show a little too much flesh than what's allowed.
Some of the surrounding countries allow liquor to be served and sold, but generally only to foreigners in tourist hotels or expatriate enclaves, but public intoxication is strictly forbidden.
