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.

Supporting the Troops and not Bush is very easy.  Send a care package to a GI, write a letter, volunteer to help out a family who has a father or mother deployed.\n\nAnother thing to look into is find out where the VA hospital(s) are in your state, and take a trip to one (call ahead and inquire about volunteering opportunities).  Those men and women who are there will more than appreciate the company.\n\nDoing these things will show you care about the troops.  You can show support for the troops without being labeled a Bush lover. \n\nDo not know where to start?  Call your local VFW or American Legion.

you  don't, sorry. You could always join the army & have Uncle Sam pay for it, but then again you might get killed over in Iraq

If it were me, I'd call a police department in a city that interests you, perhaps Los Angles, or San Francisco where they  pride themselves on having a diverse group of officers.. I'd ask them exactly what you're asking here, what their criteria for service is, if you have to be a citizen etc. The only other thing I could suggest is for you to approach one of the security services in Iraq that is in constant need of private police, and once you'd served with them for a year or so (if you survived,) you would probably have enough contacts to get seriously considered for a police force assignment in the U.S.A.

==================\nWho should I contact during the Fulbright application process?  \nThe Fulbright Office in Baghdad is your main contact during the application process until you arrive in the US.  Their email address is:  fulbrightiraq@state.gov\nYou should not contact the Institute of International Education (IIE) who will be working on your application on your behalf, nor should you contact potential US universities.\n\n=================\nYou should probably contact the e-mail address above with your detailed questions.\n\nThe link below is for a Google search which turned up a lot of hits.  You should be able to have a lot of your questions answered there.\n\nBest wishes to you!\n\n(I'm an American.)\n\n====================\nFrom one of the links:\nFields of Study The Fulbright Program promotes the exchange of ideas, cultures, and the development of leaders who can contribute to building Iraqi institutions and services. The study of humanities and social sciences supports this goal and includes such fields as: anthropology, arts, archaeology/cultural preservation/museum studies, business administration, drama, economics, education, English as a foreign language, environmental studies, international relations, journalism, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, public administration, public health, religious studies, sociology, U.S. history/literature. Consideration will also be given to study of engineering, information technology, and agriculture.\n\nThat doesn't include pharmacy, but maybe you woul dlike to get a Masters in public health.

Thank you!  we should be happy if the Iraqi's build their government, so they can do things their way. Yes, they needed help. They didn't know how to build democracy, but America has backed off as much as they could. I want to visit Iraq someday and spend my money there as a tourist. If they form this government right, Iraq can get rich just from the tourism. Iraq is beautiful, they deserve to be able to show off the beauty and make money at the same time. I can't wait for the day to buy in their markets. Sit down in a cafe and drink coffee. Visit their Museums, swim in their waters, buy me some Delicious Iraqi food. I'm so excited that someday it will be safe. I love Jordan. and Dubai. Iraq will be like that and all the world will be spending their money there. I want to find out what kind of fish they have that I could fish for.

Hi. My husband was in the marine corp. and now he is in the army. You can call or email the USO  or the post office and ask them if they still do care packages for troops. You can go to school/church/or around your community and collect snacks, toiletries, international calling cards, big quantity of items can be sold in Sam's club. for women and men to Iraq. Thank you for thinking of our soldiers and troops. God bless you!

for once I'm in agreeance with you.  I'm unemployed and i served 12 years.  i must have put a 100 applications in.  i couldn't even get a job answering phone calls!!!  i guess i can try the local burger stand.  i even have a valid secret clearance, and can't get a job.  i guess my years of experience is no match for a college graduate.  oh, well!!  I'm still proud of most of my service.  i wasn't proud of Iraq though.

SPC, there are a number of organizations you can find that will send you care packages if you give them you raddress as opposed to begging in public.\n\nhttp://www.treatsfortroops.com/\nhttp://www.anysoldier.com/\nhttp://www.operationwecare.com/\nhttp://www.opgratitude.com/\nhttp://www.americasupportsyou.mil/\n\nTo list a very few.  Please gather your dignity and remember you represent more than yourself when you are wearing that uniform.\n\nTo those of you reading this, instead of singling out one soldier to send gifts to, please consider supporting these organizations and spread your support and generosity.\n\nOr, if you wish to support othe organizations that do tangible service work for troops every single day, consider buying stock in Haliiburton, KBR, DHL, Hessco, Conrack....\n\nSGT Robert White
