I spoke to the guy from lockheed and the guy from intnl logistics ssytms. Lockheed has the contract and they subcontract to the international lgistics guy. well I seem to be exactly what they want. The teacher who recruited me and I will be starting up the program. It is expected to expand and grow each year after that. So this could be a career choice maybe 2 years instead of 1. I asked about health insurance which is completely covered, including the defense base insurance coverage required by the govt. my classes will be groups of 10, college students training in English so they can pass an English test and be admitted into the pilot program.
We'll be trainging with the Defense Languagge insstitute first in San anotnio Texas, then working with them in kabul, the apartments and school are both on the base.
They will give me a laptop and a cell phone. (my first cell phone!) no big deal. I can visit the USA only one time within the year I'm gone, otherwise I am not exempt on the first 85k I earn there.
Those are the base facts. I'm pretty excited to be a part of it actually, and will have to decide if my first vacation weekend will be in Dubai or somehwere in Europe. ha.
I don't even know if I'll take the job, it's hard to consider when they don't even know the timeline yet at this point. so I'll wait until I hear more........

first off, what do you mean your first cell phone.
Second, it sounds like it could be a good time. Although the restriction to only visiting the States once in a year sounds a little hard. Can you visit other countries or are you stuck on the base for the full year?
You were made for Afganistan. Be sure to go to Kandihar, the boy-fucking center of the universe. And all the men doing the boy-fucking don't think they are gay, just like you.
Ouch, that was a little harsh Curt. If you really have a problem with Dan, maybe you should just stop reading. He clearly states in his bio that he is trying to figure things out, so cut him a little slack. And just because he does finally come to a decision does not mean he has to be a raging, judgemental queen.
You had me on the edge of my seat while reading this... I was like WOW... I can't believe you're doing this... until I got to like the last paragraph where you said you don't know whether you'll take the job yet.
Dan, I hope everything works out for the best. It sounds likee a great opportunity, but a scary one at that. I know you will be able to take care of yourself over there, so proceed with caution when making your final decision. I can't wait to see what you decide. Best Wishes to you.
