I WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO WORK IN IRAQ EVER AGAIN!!! I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT WORKING FOR HALLIBURTON IS A GOOD IDEA.... WELL IT IS A VERY BAD IDEA!!!

KBR=HALLIBURTON..... ALSO ALL OTHER COMPANIES HIRING IN IRAQ, INCLUDING HALLIBURTON/KBR, DO NOT PROVIDE DISABILITY PAY BENEFITS OTHER THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THE DEFENSE BASE ACT.

DBA = WORKERS COMP. IF YOU ARE PERMANENTLY DISABLED IN IRAQ YOU WILL ONLY GET PAID 66% OF THE WAGES THAT YOU EARNED 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO GOING TO IRAQ.

So if you only earned $30,000 before taking the Iraq job when you get home and have No LEG, Arm, Foot, etc..... you will be paid the huge amount of only $19,800 per year!!!!

I will never work for KBR/HALLIBURTON or any other Iraq company ever again!!!!!

There is one reason that I would not go to Iraq to work as a civilian.
THEY ARE CUTTING OFF HEADS :shock: :shock: :!: :!: I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY I WAS PAID OR DISABILITY I COULD COLLECT, IT IS NOT WORTH IT :!: No disrespect to those unfortunate individuals but I bet they figured it would not happen to them :?: I am
ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY and the only way I would be there is if my unit goes. Life is precious, and it is not worth the risk as a civilian.

I wouldnt drive in Iraq because of the equipment...arent they drivin old J B HUNT cabovers? you know the beige ones with the orange frame. Could you imagine rollin through that crap hole of a country in a old J B HUNT cabover and you get attacked by some bastards with black towels around their head and face and then you are kidnapped (killed by RPG or ak-47 if youre lucky) and then they got you in a Schneider uniform (orange jumpsuit) all bound and blindfolded while they rant and rave about how America and everybody else better get out of Iraq while they are filming it on a digital camera and then they get on you and slice your damn head off :cry: and from what ive seen at least they could use a sharper knife cause it takes awhile then you get put on the internet for the whole world to watch? Its sad. Remember follow your heart and know happiness. Follow your greed and know pain. by the way i have two family members in the middle east-one in Iraq one in Afghanastan and they both cant wait to get home, may GOD be with the troops and truckers and everyone else .
