jdcs wife in Southern, California said: Switch- do you want me to forward the electricians info to my hubby's recruiter or do have the info for your hubby's recruiter..

Im sure he'll still be a good candidate.. Jess has had had his license for less than the 5 yrs. and he still got hired... Although he didnt have his license until a few years ago..he was an electrician when he was in the NAvy, and been an electrician since he got out in 2001.. so dont know if that was what helped him out...

Did you get our emails ????

LYTE_281 in PORTER, Texas said: hey kat. i'm going on the 16t also. make sure you copy the supplemental and send a copy with him just in case they didn't get it. i sent mine 2weeks ago and come to find out they never got it. so make sure he has a copy before he leaves home because trust me they will want it when he gets to processing.

Roger that! Jimmy is going down to Houston with everything they could possibly need, copies of his UNLAMINATED Social Security card, His birth certificate and extra copies of everything else KBR want. I've learned ALOT of tips from this forum.......Thanks for your input as well.
Jimmy said that I have become obsessed with this process......and it drives him nuts. But I have always been a planner, and would rather be over prepared, that not having enough.

so is he glad to go?

This is Heather and I am new to this. Feel compelled to say that I have learned so much from these discussions. My husband, Jason is a Master Electrician and left January 4th. He has got moved around a couple times due to the training however I think he's now at a somewhat perm location for the meantime.

Travellady1 in Phoenix, Arizona said: Eddie, can you please email me at joanne.luna@hotmail.com Thanks

I just sent the email

sammesmaw in Nashville, Tennessee said: yup! the "pre-printed" control number on the enrollment form was WRONG!
We called the number provided, and got some help. then it was just a matter of wading thru the enrollment.

I did it with the first insurance packet they send us. It let me put hubbys stuff in but then messed up when I tried to put my info in.
I have two insurance packets. First one we got about a week ago and then the one they send us today with the supplement. Each packet had a different control number. Which one is the wrong one... I'm just full of questions huh? lol.
I'm like you Kathy, check everything over twice and look everything up. Got multible certified copies of his birth certificate just in case. Even found a practice test for test format, so I can get him used to the software set up. Questions are not any real questions, just a way to learn how to use computer for the test.

Welcome, yes this site is great has great info and is very handy for everyone either going over there or for the wives and husbands that are still here. But most importantly its people all going through the same thing so i would say its a great sorta comfort zone. I leave next week so I know my wife will be on here now asking alot of questions and hopefully helping those who need it.

Welcome to the forum. We hope to help everyone here to support each other and assist in the transition. Stay in touch and Good Luck.

Morning everyone.

Sasha! Congrats, hon. I knew you’d have no problems.

Yesterday was just so not fun. I was playing with two different computers trying to get the paperwork sent by KBR unscrambled. We were warned in advance that it might be a problem cause of virus protection.

Question, what did you all do? Did you print it off and fill it in by hand, then scan it back in. Or did you fill it in on the computer?

Ok, now I am off to catch up before I go back to paperwork.

have they sent you form , and do you have any cautions or anything

Alrite Gary. Got an email from BG yesterday,everythings ok. Im getting worried about getting to this course in Leicester on Monday if this snow keeps up.Dont need any hold ups.

Brrrrr cold again this way–actually frost on the pumpkins–er windshields this morning. Trying to rush son out the door owing to, and he’s like don’t worry mom, I’ve still got my scrapper from up north. Yeah, sure thing. He’s back in a flash to get one of my spatula’s–odds I’ll see that one again?!

Hi jdcs, yeah, recruiter told hubby he can not take any of the items–camera, laptop cell with. Said he could buy them later overseas if allowed. Which is fine. I guess you are right. We’ll save the dvd player and CSI seasons for his first packages sent over to him.

Tony. I think the spread sheet you are asking about is the one that KBR dude made offer of. And KBR dude doesn’t get on here very often. He actually already over there and is quite busy I imagine but very helpful when he get this way with oodles of experience. Debbie C has one of her own design though, I beleive.

Gabriele! That was a great idea–the online practice test format. I am going to do this for my hubby. Thanks for mentioning it.

Ok I am off to get back at the paperwork, may be back in with questions.

To: Journee Jones

Ms Jones : My name is James McGonigle and I have applied for several positions over the past few months on the KBR site. I have 23 years of military experience with 2 recent tours to Afghanistan with the Army just retiring last month (have my DD214 in hand). I was wondering if it might be possible to forward my resume to the appropriate recruiter (Ammunition Handler, Security Technician, Logistics, Laborer Foreman, Warehouseman and Security Officer) I don’t believe you are the recruiter for these in particular positions, but any assistance or advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. My email is fireforeffect66@gmail.com . Thank you for your time.

Hey all, does anyone know if i can take a sony psp to over? something to keep me busy when i cant sleep. any information would be great thanks

Hi everybody,
I'm not having any luck getting in touch with my recruiter and I'm setup for processing on the 16th.I am going as a truckdriver and have passed the wabi and sent everything that I was supposed to send(recruiter did tell me my cdl and dental were pending and have been for 2 weeks)I am well qualified and have nothing to worry about in background check or MVR.Can someone please tell me how to talk with somebody at KBR and turn me on to maybe another recruiter?
Thanx and maybe 1 day soon I will be able to go and quit whining....lol

How long does it take for them to send you a background form

Ok have all paperwork printed off. Can I just say my printer sucks–so it was a chore. Beats the scrambled document I got yesterday to fill in though.
Ok having a duh moment here, though. Do I just print off a blank passport form and fill it in by hand for hubby to take with? Or can I fill it on online and then print off a copy?

sasha jackson in Newark, New Jersey said: How long does it take for them to send you a background form

Sasha, the email I got for hubby says in 72 hrs. Though you may want to check you scam mailbox--for some, they have found some of their emails from kbr or the likes of diverted there.

sasha jackson in Newark, New Jersey said: How long does it take for them to send you a background form

Yes you have to go online to apply for your passport, just follow the directions they give you. when you are done press submit it will want you to pay i think $100 ignore it click where it says create pass port.
The pass port appl will generate with all your info on it, and dont forget to print 2 copies

Hi Falcon. Im a truck driver going back to finnish processing on the 9th. I found that the recruter will contact you when they need something.Once everything is done you just have to be patient and wait for your itenerary. The recruters are extremely busy and dont say much.They will send you another background check for your CDL.
All you have to do is just keep checking your emails and relax.

Jimmy will be thanking you once he's in Houston! My husband thanked me many times b/c a lot of them had to stand in LONG lines because they hadn't done everything or it wasn't done right. My husband flew through everything! Good luck!

all the best fred .

Sasha, do you know any CLSS recruiters? I was a 92A in the Army and Senior Logistics Warehouseman last year--trying to re-apply but no luck--can you help? (Not Warehouseman--I've heard about the hold on them--I'm the one running the system, not pulling parts=))

Hi, Im new to this Forum, was looking for some information about KBR and came across this. My husband as been in Iraq since November, I was just wondering, Our initial understanding was that his pay was to be tax-free up to 89,000 dollars. But his pay has been almost half as much as expected, from taxes being withheld. Does anyone have any insight to the way they are taxing there employees?

Thanks Alot

The very first packet they sent you has a list in it of what to bring. Both for paperwork/documents on page 22, and for clothing, etc. further down the document. According to the paperwork and people on here, the itinerary comes just a few days before you actually fly.
