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.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
