Afganistan, would you?
- Thread starter RyanJayG
- Start date
we'll get the red carpet when we go there though, cause we will be working directly for the govt. and the insurance is included ANY time I go overseas... no worries there... and I know about what China is like... I'm NOT looking forward to it... the main reason Afganistan is going to pay so well is the whole 6 months away from home, living in a tent (albeit a nice one with A/C and internet)
hahahahah i love how you civilian guys that would go there to just build a road would get paid $8000 a ******* month. and the Marines guarding your asses, living is worse conditions and would be the ones in the most danger only get paid about 1,200 a month for your average Lance Corporal... whats wrong here.... sorry maybe thats the Marine inside of me talking..

wrong choice of occupation maybe? I have nothing but respect for servicemen. dont get me wrong...
and I would gurantee we would be the higest paid sub contractor over there... we happen to own and operate a very highly specialized machine... actually 25 of them. which does a job that no other machine in the world can do properly. I guess it only helps us that we own everyone of these machines ever made.

its a resonant pavement breaker.... watch the videos for it to make any sense... there is one under the highway section, and one under the airport section.
and even then you have to see it in person to appreciate it...
Iwhen I started with the company I was an operator, then I became a superintendant, running jobs. and now I do all the electrical wiring, and design for these things. they get updated at the rate of about 5 a year or so I keep pretty busy doing that. you wouldn't believe the number of wires in one of these things... it takes me about a week to wire one...

Go for it. I was there from Sep 2002 to Jan 2003. I was in the Army then. I was at Bagram Airbase. The winter there is not as cold as in the states. Daytime is around 30-40 but at night it dips down to the teens and every now and then in the single digits. Now this is for Bagram that is 5,000ft above sea level. In Kabul is alot warmer and in Kandajar there is almost no winter. Also remember that this is dry cold and the sun always shine there. I will say that is Afghanistan is a lot safer than in Irak. As for the time away from the family since you will be working 7 days a wekk the time goes fast and with internet you always in contact with them. For the money I will do it if the oportinity comes.
Just my .02

If a lance Corporal was paid $8000/mo could you imagine the deficit?!!! Billions and billions more! And how much a general would make then?!gimpo2 said:hahahahah i love how you civilian guys that would go there to just build a road would get paid $8000 a ******* month. and the Marines guarding your asses, living is worse conditions and would be the ones in the most danger only get paid about 1,200 a month for your average Lance Corporal... whats wrong here.... sorry maybe thats the Marine inside of me talking..
