We've all heard of Civilian contractors being taken prisoner, killed, etc overseas... How does one land a job like that? Given they are willing to take the risk. Anyone know of any contractors hiring overseas, or potential "danger zone" jobs?  Thanks

The pay for these jobs is much higher than in the states. Call Halliburton, they hire most of the civilians in Iraq.

www.USAJOBS.gov  Work for the federal government overseas. At least you will have the Marines protecting you. The world is not safe place, there are workers getting injured and killed each day in this country. But in this country there are not the hostilities you find in other countries. Click the Protect Democracy for opportunities created by our conflicts. But there are thousands of other jobs in all corners of the world.

Yes, you can get your job guaranteed in your contract.  But, if you dont pass the training for it, they can re-class you into whatever they need.\n\nDepending on what language, linguists can get stuck in some pretty bad situations. Arabic speakers are needed in Iraq, and they go on patrols and all kinds of nasty jobs because they are needed to talk to the locals.  You could also get stuck working in a prison working with interrogators with all kinds of nasty people.  Or, you could just be stuck at a desk translating papers and recordings all day.

You must go to the base that they are on. Most Commanders don't like it when this happens either. You will get what you want right away. Ask for a supervisor when you get there and you will have no problem. There are company's that do this for a living if you do not want to do this.

You need to think about why the companys not going to pay for it. More then likely its because your chances of survival there are VERY slim. If a company requires you to have a physical then that Co HAS to pay for it. I have a friend who went to work for Halaberton in iraq, He never came home. Think about it

Is that really a question? It's probably one of the most dangerous jobs, with terrible working conditions and bad pay. Plus when you factor in the completely pointless war that the government has got us into and it seems like a pretty bad deal.

One of our local National Guard units is getting ready for their third deployment to Iraq.  This unit has not volunteered for redeployment...they have been ordered.  I think if you do some research, you will find that Guard and Reserve units are being ordered back to the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan more than once, and they aren't raising their hands saying, "Send me, send me".  These are men with jobs and families, and they didn't sign up to be permanent active duty.

I was a aircraft mechanic (AD) in the Navy as well as a rescue swimmer.  I have just recently gotten out, but to answere your ? it is possible to be sent over there it depends who he is stationed with if it is a squadron and what not, but I would say there is a chance not a huge one though.

There are many companies that have civilians working to support the troops in Iraq.\n\nKBR has many people over there doing everything from repairing helicopters to supervising laundry services.\n\nI will warn you that you will work 12-hour days, six days a week.

As far as handling of explosives you have to be certified before you even begin to think about working for these companies that implode buildings.\n\nI would think that this would be a requirement even for those who draft out placement of such explosives whether they actually touch explosives or not.\n\nIf I were to own such a company - I know this would be a requirement of all employees and sub contractors.

If yes, what's your current address, phone number, and place employment?................  There's gotta be a law against military desertion. Otherwise, before any conflict there'd be a rush of servicemen leaving. Flipping a burger/pushing paper's different than being shot at.

Contact Halliburton. They have a military contract with a subsidiary called KBR or Kellogg, Brown and Root.\nI actually worked with them a little when I was there a few months ago. They have locations all over the middle east.\nSee link below, and good luck.

Ex slodier.\n\nI agree with you i got asked the same thing when i was in Bosnia. We don't ask to go there we do it for our country. What would happen to the world if we had no army protecting it. Civillians are all the same especially the ones who don't understand, Get a worth while job?  yet they work in a bloody factory packing cheese or something, Who needs to get a worth while job then.

Check out Blackwater.  My husband is Army and one of his buddies is over there now with Blackwater.  They have already been deployed to Iraq before and he's making more money now than he did when he was fighting there.  It's dangerous.  If you're military, you'll understand the situation more thorough.

My husband works in Iraq as a private contractor and has told me first hand....the U.S.military,civ contractors and the Iraqi military  have all ,together,done alot of good for Iraq and its people.But no,it wont be shown on our news or in the papers,at this point people dont want to know that any good is happening.Most people thrive on gore and negativity.The media is a joke ! I'll continue to open emails that show very positive proof that its indeed taking place.

Yeah, if you're still around to ask this question, there's a good chance that either \na) They outsourced to Chinese or Indian assasins that just aren't up for the job\nb) You AREN'T being tailed\nor\nc) Better question you're mom, sometimes they do their jobs from the inside.
