You will not see much military and unless you are stationed at the base, you will not be on it. There is nothing scary about Doha except it is not USA, but it is a very normal life.
You need to search this forum for past scared people, been lots of posts on coming to Qatar and the answer never changes, come on in, the water is fine.
