Out of Iraq

[racbluto]

Well the gig is done for me in Iraq. With the drawdown in troops, there is major cuts in supporting civilian contractors as well. I have been working as a convoy truck driver for KBR in support of military operations for almost 5 years. And I knew this would come to a close some day. There is a new contract for continued service but when the US goverment doles out the work to the lowest bidders that means the contract companies are forced to replace us with mostly cheap foreign workers that will work for 1/4 the cost of expats.But I'm not bitter, it was a good ride for much longer than anyone expected. Time to start a new life. I am taking 4 weeks off to unwind in the south pacific.(my favorite playground LOL) Will also be doing some internet research on what to do next. Gonna try to go to Afganistan but with the massive layoffs coming out of Iraq it will be tough to get in there. Was really hoping that the dinar would RV/RI before this all came to a close. Would have loved to see the chaos in Iraq when it hit. My personal feeling is that we are closer than ever and I'm sure something will happen soon. The facts are there that this is a great investment and has a huge potential. So we just need to keep the faith that this will someday be a epic event and a blessing to people of Iraq and whole world. ~~~~~ Bluto
