kiki78 in Atlanta, Georgia said: No I haven't heard that, I just left 2 months ago, very interesting.

I find it very strange that you could have only left 2 months ago and you didn't know what zone you were occupying?!! What company did you work for out there?

I do know what "zone" I was occupying.I was in the Green Zone, USMI Central, and I was there for 4 years working for KBR.I have never heard of Camp Victory/Liberty being referred to as the Green Zone being that we had to take a 20 minute convoy ride in armored vehicles out into the Red Zone in order to get to Victory, so how Victory could be called the Green Zone is a mystery to me.I'ved emailed some of my old coworkers who are still working in the GREEN ZONE and none of them have heard of Victory being called this either.What company did you work for?

Seems like you're the one who's not sure what "zone" you're occupying.

I was with LSI and now I'll be with KBR. I was statoned at FOB Falcon(red zone) in 2006 while I was in the Army and even then Liberty/BIAP were known as the green zone. The article I pasted above was taken from CNN's website and the Reporter clearly names Liberty/Victory as being in the green zone as well and surely they are more a more credible source than you,sooooo,....ummmm........!!! Have a nice weekend;-)

By the way how would we run into each other? I got the idea that you were on this site to preach about the evils of contracting? Or were you just protesting against KBR specifically?

KBR specifically. But you know what? You are PERFECT for KBR. So you just scoot right on back over there honey. If KBR is still there when you get there...I'll be surprised.

No wonder KBR is in so much trouble!

Nice article Kiki78. Thanks. I didn't see liberty or victory in there. And if I had known BIAP was in the Green Zone I wouldn't have bothered with the damn rhino convoys. Go figure. Silly me.

OOOOhhhh ok, so it was KBR specifically because they are the oooonnnlllyyy contractors who abuse and waste govt. funds!!Well I saw you making negative post on here about KBR constantly and hyping up you're little website, so I pretty much guessed you were on of those people who go on a tirade to "expose" the company they got fired from!lol! Let it go honey,just let it Go;-)

Kim81, I have been at Camp Victory for over 4 years and I've been through BIAP probably 100 times. Camp Victory and BIAP have NEVER been in the Green Zone. I was here when Camp Liberty was established.

I have no intention of getting into this argument you have going on. But, you must be confusing the Green Zone with something else. I think this forum serves a valuable service. It provides future employees with "helpful" information.

Your information is not factual and therefore not helpful. KiKi and Sparkys information was quit accurate.

No, he is in camp Kandahar.
But he is moving in the morning. What I have read about this camp does not sound so good. It is new for KBR because of security reasons they would not even go in there until not to long ago. The military cooked for themselves there. No roads to my understanding and it is rough and mountainous. I have been praying that the camp would change. Taliban like this kind of areas so I have read.

yes he called this morning and I am suppose to cal him in the morning. He said they would give him a laptop but as of yet they have not. Some of them there have received one but he has not. I really hope his camp changes. If he could stay where he is that would be better to me. But this camp is a go between.

Thanks for the encouragement. I know that he is in great hands and they are not KBR's, it is me that is reaching out for a little padding I guess. So far I feel within myself that all things are well.
Have a blessed night.

My hubby is at Kandahar. He is an electrician. The camp mmmmm....let me say is unique. It is a coalition base and needs desperate work. Mine has been there for 2 weeks and he is getting a little better with learning the area and people. It takes time for it is a total culture shock to get use to. Things are different there than at a regular US bases, but he is trying real hard for all of us. It is a rough base and they have had lots of rocket fire. Now that Ramadan is over it seems like it has let up some. He said that he actually got 8 hours sleep. They past few days that get rocket fire, but not as bad as prior days, but you never know over there. We talk once a day for about 20 minutes. We encourage each other of why he chose to go overseas, due to unemployment so bad in our home surroundings. What will your hubby do there? Maybe he can get together with other electricans that are there.

Does anyone have info or insight on HR positions with KBR overseas? I have noticed several jobs posted on the website but just wondered about the working conditions. Also, how has the economic crisis in the states effected working for KBR overseas in any way?

He does not know why he is there, suppose to find out today. No I do not know much about camp Sharana,
except is is in the mountains and it is a lot colder there and that the winters are really rough there as well as the roads if any. It is a new camp for kbr and the service men have been cooking for themselves, you can find that info on the net. My husband is starting out in the food service as a door. I think after 6 months he will be in something else. But at least he has a job at this point. We are thankful for that.

Oh i wish him luck. Hope you find out some news today. keep us posted. We always think the worse and in actual fact it really might be o.k. i notice you didnt hear back from the other wife whose hubby is in Sharana, Shame.
Think on the bright side he will see a white xmas, sounds good to me, im sick of these texas summers!!
I bet the scenery is beautiful too!
Also if its a new camp i bet there is a better possibility of promotion.

It can get down below freezing at night. I worked nights my first winter and like to froze to death. It can be cold in the mornings and then warms up a bit during the day. The rainy season is horrible.

My husband is at Kandahar was not suppose to go there but when they stopped, he never left. He says there is alot of Mortal fire and rocket fire....they live in tents, and the Canadians run the camp, so they also prepare the food...which he says is not that great. My husband loves food though) The have telephones w/ Houston lines. 3 of the PX for the guys to shop. A Subway and a Pizza Hut. It is not a US Base.
