[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 1561881, member: 5168"] I was fortunate while in Iraq not to be working for KBR. They treated their employee's like trash on the bottom of their boots. We had several transfer over to us, an some of the horror stories told. Well you would have sworn they worked at Dachau. Their bosses told them almost everyday, thats its OK to quit, as there was always someone to replace them. They worked 7 days a week, and if during that time if work wasn't finished by the end of the day, they got docked pay for unfinished work. More than five days of this they were sent home. Yeah we had it good, only had to travel through bad guy area's with no military support to get to our work site off the FOB, security was hamstrung as to weapons they could have, trust me a 249SAW will not stop a carbomb!!!! We did get one day off a week for R&R. You could stay in your hotch, and sleep or take an unpaid convoy to FOB Speicher to go to the PX, or et junk food i.e. Subway, Burger King, Taco Bell. Security always made the run, an you could provide them with a list of things you'd like, but didn't have to pay till they returned, sometimes they didn't come back whole. [/QUOTE]
