Chilling KBR video

I have seen the video, its not a pretty sight. I am also a combat veteran of the Iraq war, so I know what to expect over there. As a mechanic I will be behind the wire at all times, unless I am changing locations to another post, which most times is done by helicopter. Different companies pay differently. I will be working for a base wage. 84 hours a week. I get hazard pay and other incentives on my first 40 hours. On my next 44 hours for the week I will be paid at the standard overtime rate, time and a half.
I am finishing up a 4 year enlistment in the army, and chose to get out and go contract in Iraq because it will give me the opportunity to generate a large amount of capital in a fairly short amount of time.

I believe you are wrong about the overtime as well though I can only base that upon what the recruiters told me and the fact that you've been away for awhile. Thanks for the info, Acranger. Did you see the video of the ambush? Care to comment on your inspiration to do this? Driving looks especially dangerous compared to many other jobs they offer like cooking, and I'm guessing mechanics, anything that allows you to stay on base most of the time. I Believe I DO know what i'm talking about and whatever your "Recruiter" told you is BS.
