I now work as a FSR for the same company that I used to work for in Iraq

Just got word there is a permanant opening for an Field Service Rep doing about what I did over in Iraq.  Pay would be very good but not as much as I got over there.  I am going to consider it for sure if other jobs dont work out here.  It is not too far away from here anyways. 

[426HEMI]

Then I got word from the very top of the company that it might be getting closer to us going back over as well.  I just hope that the job here works out then I would not be forced to go back or take the other stateside job.

What bases did you work on over in Iraq? I was in the Marine Corps and I've been on a few of them over there, maybe we were there at the same time.

I was there from March to October of 2003 and then from May to October of 2004.

I was at FOB Kalsu.  Even if I did go back I think I would be going some where else for the job.  dont really want to go back though.

Just recieved an e-mail from human resourses on the stateside position and waiting for a call back now.

[lemming303]

Oh, I haven't been on that one, actually I haven't heard of it.

First time I was there was for the invasion so there wasn't any bases set up yet. Second time I stayed at Hurricane Point, next to Junction City which was an army base. I have also been to TQ (Tari Qaddum or something like that), and a couple others, but I can't remember the names of them. Mostly around Anbar Province though.

Looks like I will start working monday for the same company I used to work for. I will fly out monday and be back friday as it  sounds now.  They are still in the process with the teaching job and it might take a long time for them to complete the process.  Will work a couple of weeks anyway with the old company and see how I like it.  Could work into a good position.

Buy my red truck before you go so I can buy my rods

[426HEMI]

Can I try it out today before I buy it?

Awaiting today to get my tickets to Wyoming for the first time.  Guess I will get to see some new parts of the country. 
Then after that I go back to Lackland AFB will get to see how much it has changed in 30 years.

At least Wyoming isn't full of camel spiders!

At least Wyoming isn't full of camel spiders!

You got that one right on the head.  Just glad it will be in the good ole USA and not overseas right now any way.  Got my tickets for both places now and my work computer came in this moringing also so I am ready to go I guess. 

[426HEMI]

I hope I really like the new job.  Maybe it will be good now for me also.
