    I have seen the trucks they drive over there and trust me they can take an IED strike. It dont hurt that bad trust me I have hit 3 1 of which was on foot. I just got back from afghanistan and was in Iraq anout 2 years ago. For 100K its not a bad gig. I have done two 7 month trips for 14Gs the first time and about 21 my second because I am married now. Think of this to if you dont have a gun you cant shoot back right? well who do you think the insurgents are going to shoot at first the guy without a gun or the guy with a gun? Iraq is nothing anymore anyways. I did 7 months trying to get into fights and picking people out to shoot and nobody wanted to fight us they just played it off like they were not insurgents. I dont know if its because we are Marines or what but they were scared of us.

    Then obviously it's not for you. Some people are more willing to take more or bigger risks than others, if the reward is appropriate.

    The driving opprotunities in Iraq are winding down.. The country is doing more themselves and their arn't as many openings for US drivers like there was when there were lots of troops over there. The more troops that get pulled out the less jobs there will be left.
    Asking specific questions here will just get you rumors go straight to the horses mouth.. Ask Haliburton, Brown & Root, ect. directly if you are serious they'll let you know IF they're hiring and where.

    Try KBR Fasttrax - They are the british version of KBR recovery in Iraq. You can google search their name. I ran into some of the recovery guys here on Kandahar Afghanistan. They use the Big Emple Wreckers.....good luck
