2. I have a friend in that area

She is a huge bush supporter and her parents are even more so. She has a 20 year old son, so maybe I will send her this link. He can make some killer cash.
Ok, I would never want him to go there, although I believe he is joining the Air Force. I just don't understand how my friend can still back that son of a bitch who has torn this Country to shreds.

5. Do they offer life insurance?

I would imagine the premiums would be quite high. Guess that's where all the money is going.

Amazing. People will sign up, too, for the 'adventure' and the 'thrill's and the money

7. My son was offered a job in Iraq.

I don't think it was for Halliburton, but for whatever co. that has the contract to do aircraft maintenence on the military planes. The offer was $165,000 a year, and 10 days leave and a R/T ticket every 3 months. Thank God, he said, the money was really tempting, but naa, it's just not woth it!

BTW, this offer was just made last week!
