    Support Contracting in Afghanistan

    Re: Support Contracting in Afganistan I'm pretty much over the idea of carrying anything. If the SHTF and it came down to it I can operate a dropped weapon. Other than that, we are all better off letting the pros handle the weapons. -Jim

If you are thinking about it, apply now. If they want to hire you they will start the clearance process. They...

    Support Contracting in Afghanistan

    Re: Support Contracting in Afganistan Thanks for the info. I'm married with kids, so this is probably completely out of the question anyway. Besides, I can make nearly as much working stateside as a maintenance planner at a nuclear power plant. The base is $33 an hour, but it climbs fast on...
