Hey George

Well I've heard the same things but I did'nt come over here just to profit. It was a desire to help our military as well. I did'nt get to do the military service after high school and when all of this came about I was too old to join then. Yr wife's friends are not helping things any but you and her need to make up your own mind. You told me before that she was used to you being gone for up to 4 months at a time and that she handled all the home dutys so this would'nt be much different except that you would be farther away. I just think it is a opportunity for people like myself to help the war effort and myself all at the same time. The over-all bennifits that you end up with are pretty good and I've never had as easy of a job as this for this kind of money. Yes it can be dangerous but so is walking across the street. The things that I have seen and done and the places that I have been would have never happenned if I would have stayed home. I also would be alone still because I would'nt have met my chinese wife.. I would had to have parked my truck by now and would have been driveing a company truck as well. That might not have been so bad but after you have been self employed it's real hard to work for some-one else. Now I've been able to up-date my equipment and will have some cash to run on after I get home. This out of frame on the engine that I'm getting ready to do start in late Dec will be one of my goals to get done that I've waited a long time for. I'LL try to send you a picture of the Pete.

 

[quote="gcal". she has been talking to co workers about what i am going to do and A girl at her work called me a war profiter if i go to work for kbr and that if i wanna do some good why not join the army. .[/quote]

Tell her the girl at work can pay your bills then.

 

[quote=Bigmon]why doesnt SHE join the Army?

 

dumb beyotch's husband is in the guard and did iraq already so there is not much to say to her.
I'm just gonna leave that subject alone. I'm gonna do what I want in the end if it will help my family.

 

[quote=Fredog]Yeah !!!! I like both of those ideas !!!

g_cal Here's some come-backs (er) I mean some ideas for you ????

 

Gcal, feel extremely lucky you have a wife who definitely loves you, isn't cheating on you, and doesn't want to see your head blown off. I have a feeling 4 months compared to 1 year are at the opposite ends of the football field.

She might be fine with 4 months, but 1 year forget it. She is also thinking that you are going to the opposite end of the world and have a very good chance of never seeing you again. NO money is worth that.

If she didn't love you, was cheating on you, and/or were very upset with you and wanted you killed anyhow, then she really wouldn't have a problem with you going.

Just remember to take her feelings into consideration before you go do this. Otherwise, she may get the feeling you don't love her anymore, and she might decide not to be there when you get home.

 

be together for 10 years and would eat top roman for the rest of my life to have another ten with her. great women. BUT GOD DAM the money is tempting. She is the only reason I haven't locked my self in for sure. Since this whole thing started its been an issues in my house everyday all day I am home.

dam the money! the root of all evil.....

 

Hey gcal

Don't get yourself in a bind about it . Just sit n talk with the wife n your family n make up your own mind. Everything allways happens for the best like my Dad used to tell me.

 

Anyone know what happened to the guy posting this? His name is gone and says Visitor? He get banned or what? Did he come back from the sand ???

 

I think that's the guy that got banned. I think his screen name was something like Ashland and he had a green avatar.
