It's the off season and I rarely post something about myself but I got to thinking.

I am a contractor and have been doing this stuff since I retired from the USN.

Each time I have started a new contracting job in Iraq we have gone to the Super Bowl

2003 right after I retired from the Navy I signed on with KBR and went to Iraq.  SB Bound

2015 signed on with another company to go back into Iraq.  SB Bound

Recently I signed a job offer to go back to Iraq.  I start at the End of the Month or Early August.....Gotta mean SB Bound.  It's a good omen.

And other jobs I have started we have done well.  

2010......yeah know we sucked but we won the right to pick Cam

2013.....good year

We probably ran into each other one time over the years. 

Havent been back since 09. Hit me up and let me know how it’s changed if you get bored. 

Good luck. 

Sure thing....2015-2017 was very quite on the base I was on (Taji) and Balad is where I am heading next.  I haven't been on that base since 2004.

Ive heard alot of Veterans going back to Iraq or Afghanistan as contractors... I am not sure if you can pay me enough to go back over there. Just my .02. Good Luck

I was on the eastern shore of Virginia (hell on the east coast) right after I retired and just got denied at Purdue Chicken because I didn't have any chicken experience.  lol.  KBR was taking anyone that had a breathe.  2 months after I retired I was heading to Houston and then to Iraq.   It was fun the first couple of years.  Than it was habit.  

I was with them for 6 1/2 yrs...moved to Afgh for 2 1/2 to Kuwait and back to Iraq....Now I am back in Afgh...(wish I never came back) and finally off to Iraq again.  

Money is good if you can get used to the crazy hours.

I knew so many senior enlisted that hated us and than they would retire and there they were.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
