Panthers, Iraq, SB and a New Job


Recommended Posts

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.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
