Off to Iraq!
What company is this with? I got offered a job but it only offered 80k with no health insurance. I passed on it. Kbr only hires thugs apparently. And black water, which uses a new name now, is a bitch to get on with.
KBR is ghetto. I've never seen anything good come from them. They're about as bad as ITT..or International Thugs & Thieves as we called them lol. There is a message board that alot of my buddies overseas used to network around on and keep up with all the jobs opening up but I forgot what the name of it is.

I was supposed to go to Afghannyland in April but told them to suck it. I'd been over there too much the last couple of years and walked. my old man has been in an out of iraq and is currently in afghanistan for the past ~7 years. I know he makes big bucks but I'm sure he misses being home too. He's worked with a bunch of different companies out there based in camp anaconda i think the name was? now he is in afghanistan working for lockheed.

KBR offered me $96,500 for the first year as a Fuels Lab Tech.. but I passed it up because I was able to re-up for another 4 years in the Air Force. This is deff something I'd do if I was able.

Yea, there are more guys over there that have never been in the military than ex-military. You pretty much have to have worked in a field that they are hiring for...like mechanics for example. There are alot of companies over there, I'll try to list the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

. Is there any better company then another? Like one has a bad rep? each company has thier positives and negatives, if you can look past the bullshit, you can make alot of money. when i go over there my mentality is, keep my mind on my money and my money on my mind, the rest is bullshit
If you have never been here before i.e military then it can definitely be a wake up call. Just remember your in a war zone and can be hit at anytime. We had 5 killed here about 2 weeks ago by an IED, and another group hit 2 days ago. So just never get complacent.
I know how you feel. hell Ive been out there over 5 years now and still never get considered for ****. That place is unlike any other federal place the way its so buddy buddy.
I was gonna end up choking some fools out or worse if I didn't leave. It's unreal how F'd up that place is. I'm still applying for permanent jobs but ain't gonna hold my breath. The buddy system is alive & well for sure..maybe one day we'll get lucky....
