Iraq
 

I have a choice to work there. It will be one year, if they choose me to go, it will be good money. I am considering it. Don't want my head sawed off though.

I would be paranoid every minute I was there.

I don't think I'd go! How long do you have to decide?

what would you be doing, klynne?

personally, i'd love to go and experience somewhere like that. i've always wanted to be a war reporter....

You're gonna be a magician's assistant? :confused:

J got offered a job, for very good money. I told him it would be useless if he was dead.

Plus, you can't drink or look at porn there.

*snortlaugh*

It would depend on what the job was... Like zen said - doesn't matter how much you get paid if you don't get to enjoy it or if your family doesn't get to have you... It's a very dangerous place right now.

end of story

;)

I'd go. Learn a bit of arabic beforehand. Specifically, "Please don't saw my head off". Gives you a better chance of getting out with your head unsawn.

Life's for living. And it's waaaaay more fun if you're living dangerously.

Didn't you just buy a house? Going to sell if you go? Rent it out?

Not to be a total downer..but have your affairs in order should you decide to go. Step son did 3 tours there..it is not a happy place.

So, in other words, you are willing to profit from the war, risking life and limb for a buck, huh?

klynne i think you should go. maybe take a few others from the board.

The way they are kidnapping white girls over there, I would not go. I know as a gov't employee they *should* keep better wraps on you, but man. It's not guaranteed. I like a guarantee, myself.

^^^who's this? oh now i remember.

Hey all. I asked for more details, and I will get them April 20. My main concerns are how the government intends on protecting me, will I be allowed to have a weapon, and how much they intend on paying me.

The house thing is covered. I can have a friend move in and watch over of it for a year. This is not a done deal, just looking into it, and from what I hear it is a stint working in the embassy.
