Kbr is kinda vauge on this. dont think there is anything special about taking it on carryon for the airlines although I havent flown commercial in 10 years. I hate commercial thats why I got my pilots license.

my hubby has a camera over there, but i mailed it to him.

cameras/camcorders all depend on which camp you are assigned to, doesn't matter as far as airlines go. best just to have one shipped to you when you get to your base.

dave might be back im not sure but the last time i spoke to him before i left to come home i`m sure the nurse said he had to go home for 2 weeks and get his blood pressure taken 4 times over the 2 weeks and every one had to be under the kbr limit so hopefully he is coming back!! have u had your flight itinery yet ive still not had mine??? im starting to get nervous now i hope it comes today

Ive had my return flight itinerary since I left Houston last week. As for the "hold" guys, I would be trying to call the recruiter, or HR Travel today. The return flights are ranging from Sunday through Tuesday though. Since this is not for processing, but for actual deployment. If you havent signed contracts, or have loose ends, then I would guess they would try and get you in on Sunday evening.

You can fly commercial with any form of personal camera... video, or still frame. However, they will count a larger video camera as your carry on bag. If it fits inside of your carry on, then there is no problem. You may have to take it out and have it x-rayed seperately like a laptop. The only sites right now that have restrictions against cameras, are B-sites. USMI sites are likely to be opposed to the camera as well (would need to ask). Most PX's sell camcorders anyway, and a variety of digital cameras are availible at the PX and the Iraqi Markets too. Even at the B-sites. (restrictions are only against civilians) At any other site, American civilians may have cameras and cell phones. But only for those civilians who have a white or green CAC Card (US Passport Holders)

Doing okay here. Just been very busy with both grandsons playing baseball and practice. Greg has 62 days till end of contract and we are working towards this adventure being over. He is planning on staying home after R&R. They heard today that 126 jobs are going to be eliminated on his camp. They are also confirming licensing in trades and drivers licenses. Guess that will be the first one to go if they don't have the documents required.

Hope everyone is doing okay and awaiting R&R's.

Hugs
Debbie

just reading through some of my info packets and it says that cell phones are a recommendation to bring. i guess it was just kbr policy not to have one. seems a little strange to me. also boots and coveralls will be provided. but supply is limited, may not have size available. hope the cell phone thing has no restricitons because may want to look into an international plan.

Yeah idiots at KBR finally lifted that Cell phone ban. its always cheaper to buy a cellphone and put a sim card in from the country you are in instead of an international plan

He needs to at least make the flight back, after the EOC R&R. Then demob. Saves a lot of BS down the road. If he doesnt return from the EOC, or Demob prior to it, then they will retro-cancel the insurance... instead of continued coverage through the end of the month. Meaning that the coverage stops, the day he left theatre. They will not want to reimburse the air fare for the Travel right away ( at least not without going through dispute resolution ) He will also be given a seperation code of "job abandonment" which makes him inelligible for re-hire. I went through the same BS the first time I demobed. Always go through the out-processing procedures. C.Y.A. ! I didnt have intentions of returning to Iraq either... but things change... and it took over a year to straighten out the mess I made by not out-processing.

JDCs wife Hang in there, ill keep my fingers crossed for you. I thought that you just went to the doctor? Do you really think KBR will get rid of your hubby cos he left early ? Surely not.
I hope that its just Braxton hicks but remember it will take Jesse a couple of days to get home. Put your feet up and let somebody else run after your daughter.
Take care now and keep us posted.

i talked to one of their recruiters briefly and they wont let out any info basically. all they said was when the time of need for your position comes up then a recruiter will research resumes and base their decision then.

you can use whatever you want for baggage just have to keep it under 44 lbs. just remember duffle bag is hard to live out of for a few days because you have to unpack it to get down past the first layer lol

Will continue to earn OnePass miles on Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines for all qualifying flights through Oct. 24, 2009.

Yes you can put it on your continental pass, but i think they are changing things after October.

Sorry, we are new at this as well so dont know. Maybe you could call the airline? It would probably be better to upgrade to buisiness class. Not much posted on here about what we can do with our miles and how much we need. Maybe an experienced traveller will come on later and give us some insight.

KBR buys T class tix which means you cant upgrade them. Only way to get business class is to request that on your R&R form
