Thats the good news bad news is it's in Iraq-40 miles north of Bagdad. I would be writing database for the military-hmm...

Good thing is my jobsite is on a base with 23,000 military troops, working at central command in the air condition and bunk in a 2 bedroom trailer-(a/c)- with my buddy John who did 4 months last year. We will see-but my dad gonna have a shit-fit Oh-yeah I get to party in Amsterdam for a week after-I think I would need it!!!

You will just work for the army or you'll be an army member?

[jjw]

Be carefull out there,its a lot worse than our media tells us.Blackwater shouldnt be allowed out there,no way should private companies be out there with NO rules of engament and given security contracts to guard high profile places.This money making bs is obsene now,the fucking army alone should do all security rather than out source to silly private companies

[STLKINGV]

Their "rules of engagement" are to get their subject (person of importance)from point A to point B alive and unharmed... Plain and simple as far as I can see.

STLKINGV-Yeah I thought he might be with them-John asked me if I wanted to go for the Black Water group but I would rather keep my ass on a base in a bunker all day-that would be too much fun and risk till I do my first 6 months to see the real insight over there.
RacerX-It is $200k for 6 months and at 43% tax rate it eats it up but after taxes it would be $105k-$117k bring home give or take a few-depending on extra hours worked over my 12 a day. Which I heard you do. If I stayed for a year the first $80k is tax free-But if all of it works out I will do 6 months first.
Norton-I will be a private contractor for the military-I have to go to Ft. Benning for a week of training I will be issued a military id card with a rank of Lt. ?? for what reason I don't know-cool cards have your blood type, geneva conv-everything now is on a chipset in your military card-I will be just a military analysts-writing database for battlefield situations.
jjw-well that why I will be doing a 6 month stint-we ain't leaving Iraq thats a perfect stronghold for us in the middle-east-hell we've been looking for one for 50 years-I hate to say but I think we will always have a present there-We are building a billion dollar embassy over there for us not the Iraq's.
As far as Black Water maybe it is a good thing which allows the military more time and men to hunt down and kill the bad guys!!!
