If a thread is more than 2 months old from last post,I usually leave them alone as most is old news,as is the case of this thread.Just a hint for future postings allensta.

just had a friend get back from 2 yrs in Iraq with Dyncorp as a Police Advisor.....Iraq is ending and they are sending most to Afghan....pay is 115K....time off is great!! about a month off for every 3 months worked, and honestly, their is A LOT of down time!! Training isn't as good as you would think and after a little while in country, it seems like your just there for the pay check.

I have to ask, do you have personal knowledge, as in having worked this contract in Afghanistan, or just repeating what somone else said?

Many of us have already worked that contract and left for other things.

this is my first contract, ive got no complaints. lots of things could be better. they could also be worse. im glad i came over here.

Hardknocks, sometimes it is scary how much I think just the way you do.
