Well engineers work with extremely explosive materials or non life threatening materials. Either way, safety must come first.

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.

I worked for Fed Ex Air...good company to work for.  Depends what you are doing for Fed Ex Ground...trucking; unloading, service desk etc  Christmas and Valentines Day you will be chaotic.  Nothing will be good enough for any customers.  It is a bit stressful when weather situations arise and you need to explain to customers why your drivers will NOT be driving down roads that are closed by the highways dept, but they want that fudge that Aunt May sent them  :P\n\nBut...all in all I enjoyed it.

There was a boycott today? I must've missed it. ALL of my guys came into work, and the company did a gangbuster business day today. 14 hours of clients, contracts, and high end custom cars. God, I love my job, and all the men and women who work for me. I'd like to thank them all for their loyalty to the firm. Not to mention their paychecks, which would have disappeared like smoke on the wind had they not shown up. Even my 2 Japanese Americans and my Laotian (He is touched by the engineering gods) came in. And they all kicked butt as usual. Yep, at Southern Cross Customs, the boycott was a non-issue.

Get in touch with the Operators Union in your area. They provide all the training and you'll be paid while you learn. The apprenticship program is usually 3 years. Just looking into this myself. I worked one job for them so far operating a forklift at a nuclear power plant. 24.50 an hour. \nGood Luck

I haven't gotten out yet, but I have every intention of staying a mechanic.  I've met quite a few civilians that kept to the same field of work after they got out.  There is good pay involved when you have military training and four years experience at a job.  It's always a good option.

Well hello sister, Your brother is my brother in arms. I was a Machinegunner in the US Marine Corps, and over the past 3 years have done 2 tours of Iraq. I will not tell you lies about the safety of your brother. There are many areas in Bagdad, just like there are many areas of New York. Some are relatively safe, and others are brutally dangerous. I will not lie to you, there are not any Marine infantry units in the "green zone" (the safe area) that I know of. But you should be encouraged though, because your brother has the best support and best comrades of anyone in the military. I mean that. Marine Machinegunners are like no one else in the world. We watch out for each other all the time, and nobody messes with us. Believe me, you should be proud that he has chosen this route. His job will never be safe, but he has better training than any gunners have ever had. I may have gotten to be a part of that training as I worked as a machinegun instuctor for the last year of my time. Machinegunners are tough too, he will live through whatever comes his way. Dont worry sis, just send him some copenhagen-snuff or long cut. shrinkwrap it first so it doesnt go stale. Even if that isnt his brand(probably is though) he can sell stateside cope for 15 dollars a can or whatever other things he wants. Tell him another gunner says GUNZ UP!

I retired after 22 yrs of military duty in the U S Navy.  I was a naval police ( Master - At - Arms ), with the K9 division.  I worked with / assisted Navy SEALs', Army Special Forces, Marine Recons, FBI, NCIS, FDA, DEA, Secret Service, U S Marshalls, U S Customs, various city / county / state / and Federal agencies, both U.S. and over seas, and U S Coast Guard.  I've been on task force teams, in helo's, assault watercraft, raids, line of defense for restricted areas, worked with FEMA on guarded escorts for supplies, pursuit of armed suspects, plenty of excitement for a life time.  Most of this was tied to being a K9 handler / trainer / instructor.  If you like ( no love ) police work and K9s then I guarantee you can have as much action as you want.

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.
