Well, I am not in the military, but merely a civilian working for a Gov't Contractor; BAE Systems. We have developed and fabricated (by yours truly) a "bar armor" kit for Hummv's, along with some other weapons systems we are designing and testing. Well, last Monday I was asked if I would be willing to head over to the Middle East for approximately 3 months to install the 50 kits on the Hummv's we have over there. So, I'll be leaving for GA around the 18th, for training and such. Then I will be "flying" over to 3 different places in Iraq and 2 in Afghanistan.

I'm exciting about the trip somewhat. I'll be able to contribute to our work overseas( no saying I agree with President Bush), but we are over there. It'll be an exciting, exhausting, and excellent experience.

I will also be significantly rewarded upon my return with my hazard pay: ~1,xxx a day which after 3 months...comes close to 90,000 tax free

Just hoping you guys can remember and pray for me while I'm gone. I'm planning on returning before Christmas, so I pray I make it back in the same state I'm leaving in.


Thanks all S2KI'ers


BTW: I turned 21 on Wed...so I'm only a youngin

 

Wow, mega bucks!!

Good luck, have fun, and return safely! And I hope your products do well!

 

So this means you could upgrade to an NSX when you get back? I'll look forward to seeing it

My best wishes for a safe journey. Hope to see you back safe soon.

Stephen, happy belated birthday!

I have no doubt that you'll not regret the experience... nor the cash! If you get the chance before returning stateside, try to incorporate some travel to other destinations. Stay safe.

 

That's important work you're doing. Stay safe. Your S2K mods will be a snap after that.

 

good luck, hope you come back alright
