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.

    • Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.
    • That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.
    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
