socalna in west coast, California said: Heres some info from other forum about transportaion:
posted one day ago on page 656 about 3/4 the down on other forum. I got a call from a recruiter today after waiting a year for a driver position. I need to fax some stuff to him this weekend then go from there. He said he had to hire 10 drivers this week, then more next week, and the week after, etc. all the work is inside the wire, also if I knew anybody looking to put them in touch with him.

So, they are for sure looking for drivers.

Also, thanks to the mods for cleaning this forum up, I used to lurk all the time but it turned into a bunch of hens cackling about everything except KBR jobs, it was a lonely hearts club that needed to go. Thx again...

I am so sick of jerks like this. Guess they don't realize it was us HENS that helped most people with what they needed to know. DELETE THAT

alcoa in greenville, South Carolina said: kathy are you going ?

hey walter, you talking to me??
Yup, I am going to give it a try! When I found out that I was going to be losing my job here, I figured what the heck?? There is really not that much going on in Nashville, and all they can do is turn me down.

Jimmy and I talked alot about it while he was at home. He's knows that if I make up my mind to do something, I am going to do it. I'd like to walk out of my current position and into another job ASAP.

Take Care Walter!

Dirk McDougal in Rome, Georgia said: Do They check A1C during inprocessing if your blood sugar is in order?

I am not sure exactlly what they test for but they take either 5 or 6 vials of blood so I am pretty sure they test for just about everything. One thing for sure that will disqualify you is if you are on insullin.

I have seen alot of post about having to have a passport prior to arriving in Houston is this a change because when I went through about 20 months ago KBR loaded everyone up on a bus that needed a passport and drove into houston to the federal building and you got your passport the following day and KBR footed the bill.

I'd like to post my first question to socalna and Ksniper777. I would like to get any information you can give me on the wastewater operator side of the house or where I can find the info or maybe who to talk to. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Sincerely,
Steve

The best bet for waste water jobs would be to send your resume to earnest.long@kbr.com Also if you want email me and I will get you his phone# just keep my name out of the discussion as I am moving to a differnt company but in the event it does not work out I may want to come back to KBR in the future. Good luck

These are "Local Holidays"

Of course we all go to the local waterslide, beach, or mall on our "days off" :)

Actually that day off from work sometimes seems like a week after catching up on needed sleep and of course, cleaning the hooch.

alcoa in greenville, South Carolina said: no over time 75%up

There is "overtime" pay, anything after 40 hours is overtime, it is not "time and a half" or "double pay" unfortunately we abide by every other USA rule except their labor laws...you will be paid overtime for straight hours...$2583 divided by 160 hours is your monthly base hourly rate. All your "big" money comes from the first 40 hours of pay. Rumor is they are cutting down to 77 hours a week instead of 84 hours in the near future also.

On a 4 week check you will get about 6794.64 Gross. On 5 week its about 8493.30.

So after Fica, (1.45% medicare and 6.2% Social Security) and Family insurance (500) you would have take home of about $5774 (4 week) and $7343 (5 week).

Yes Carl, they changed it earlier this year. March I think. My husband and son along with a few others spouses on here where the last ones that got to do it Houston. Now you have to have passport in hand when you apply.

Good luck to you Carl.

Can anyone tell me what simms card would be best for hubby to buy so I can call him? He has no clue of the differences and I am not there to check them out. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, what way would be the best way for me to call Iraq? Calling card or is there a plan I can get somewhere? My phone provider charges 1.95 per minute,, that is sooo not happening.

I was a Log. Coordinator for two years in Iraq. If you haven't already --- get really good with Microsoft Office programs --- you will use Outlook, Excel, Access, and Word on a daily basis. I also used Powerpoint a lot as well, but it depends on where you work. I would become familiar with it just in case.

I was pretty busy in my section, but there was only 2 of us -- me and my supervisor. Some Log. Coordinators are more busy than others, just depends on where you are and what you are assigned to. The common theme is lots of reports, spreadsheets, databases, etc...

I loved it...

Good luck

Hello. I may be getting a job offer but am wondering whether to take it or not. I've heard some people went over there and came right back because of hiring freezes, that people get fired easily, etc. And do you really make 84k a year? Where do you live, in a tent? Does anyone live in the embassy over there? What about working as a postal clerk over there? Is that a stable job there? thanks for any help
