[QUOTE="truefiveo, post: 13641635, member: 105180"] Its harder to get picked up now as compared to back in the earlier years. Bases are drawing down and companies aren't exactly aggressively calling to hire folks like they used to. Back then you applied and got calls, offers and emails that same week. These days more and more unemployed expats are knocking down thier doors for these jobs, so they aren't as needy to fill positions. Back in the day I remember being picked up from the airport in a Lincoln Towncar and the company providing me a nice exec suite in the Hilton. Now most of these companies got smart and cheap realizing they could just herd you like cattle through the hiring process, because there are a ton of expats wanting the gig. Also depends on what type of job your applying for to determine the companies available. Other than the risks these gigs are great for recently separated servicemen and women to get a financial advantage in this crappy economy. Pay off bills, fix credit and meanwhile search for employment while overseas without the need to rush and settle for a job you really don't care for and stress about finances. Dale I foresee those issues at my FOB especially during the ANA transition. That's when its time to determine whether to bail out or not. When the bulk of the US military FOB security pulls out.:eek: [/QUOTE]
