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.

      Brother, you don't end up 32nd in rushing defense accidentally. It takes work.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.
