carrigon in Dover said: and another bright note...you have a new car....kinda! i mean fresh miles...and just when you got paid off. i know, not what you want to hear, but just trying to find the upside in it! :)

I appreciate your good thoughts on the matter. No upside to this. This is hubby’s baby. He used to have a fleet of them when he had his company and this is the only one I was able to save when we had to close the company. And this is my fault. It a beasts and hard to drive–as far as the bad traffic this way and small parking spaces. When I have places to go I usually trade with son and drive his little car. And I was actually the one that drove it half way across country with daughter, DIL and new born baby and 2 cats to bring it to hubby and the remains of my family to florida.

Good evening to you Jordan. Hope you are catching up on some sleep. Flight involve long hours and then straight to work. Stay in touch.

Debbie

T, must have been a while since you been through a winter... remember the dakotas, nothing to do, lots of snow and nothing to do :). I would gladly be somewhere warmer. year around would be nice. If I want winter I could go to aspen or even here in montana, sit in a ski lodge by a nice warm fire. Sucks to get the white stuff all the time. :)

So glad you made it safe. Keep us updated on how Aecom works out for you. I know I am curious as I can't find any other forums on them to give us the inside scoop.

t magana in California said: KoKo you only have to drain gas out and put diesel back in should be ok. Thank god it wasnt the other way around. Look for a local handyman he should be able to do it.

Thank T magana. I have heard it is worse the other way around diesel in reg gas tank. Fingers crossed. I found a good diesel mechanic. They have been really great about it all. Straight up about expenses--though they do get 90.00 an hr. WOW. I just wished it would have been water/ mositure--even iof the injectors are involved--no one needs to be nail to a cross for that. I know son never did it on purpose.

Oh no Koko, never thought he should be nailed to a cross or raked over the coals for it. Never thought he did it on purpose. I just know from experience that once I quit covering the boobboos my daughter did she paid more attention.

jordan golden in douglasville, Georgia said: good afternoon everyone from afghanistan

Hey Jordan...glad to hear you made it....email when you get situated, will give you hubby's location...always good to know somebody over there...just tell him the Ya-Ya's sent you.

Glad to hear they seem good so far at least, good luck.

I understand Gabi and beleive me you we will be talking about it with son. It is his dad I worry about. Father and son tensions. Hubby doesn't see everything I do and son does mess up from time to time--but he takes it really hard when he does. Is really hard on himself. To me, I am sorry is enough without ripping him a new one so to speak. And I worry that hubby will be hard on son about it. Sometimes he surprises me though. Fingers crossed.

I had the same problem with my hubby and daughter. too much alike in many ways. For a time I thought I would have to wear black and white striped shirt and a whistle around my neck till the day I die. Always playing peace maker and go between.

Koko
Hello I hope all works out for u.Why does things always have to happen when hubby is gone?Good luck.

Ok I am off here for the day, will check in later this evening. Hopefully indeed won't mess up on me like it did last night. Would not let me post after the first few posts. Even tried laptop thinking maybe its my desktop computer... nope it was indeed. LOL, maybe punishment for shooting off my mouth. :)
You all have a good Day or evening, depending on where in this big world you are.

Gabi

Yes he did, hey Patrick. How is all the packing going? lol

pickers in Hereford, United Kingdom said: Where are you working now mate, anyone else over there hiring Brits? did you leave KBR because they were rough or did you finish your contract?

I left KBR because they're were a disgrace... they ask their guys to cut too many corners they will never learn... but most daft electricians do it for them... they have no back bone to stand up to KBR they're all scared of losing their jobs! they're risking so many lives just look up on the net about KBRs history of electrocutions in Iraq!!

I sub contract into Fluor... I'm back in the UK on a break but I'm in two minds weather to go back to Iraq of just head over to Sakhalin in Russia. I worked for Fluor Daniel before so I'd a few contacts in there, but defently only use KBR as a last resort if it's possible.

lostwithouthim in piedmont, North Carolina said: Sayes he WORKed for as in past tense...dismissed I wonder?? Poor attitude or incompendance?
So sad you would try and catorgorize so I wont even sink to that level.

Get over it and move on.

doubt that... have you been in the camps... KBR cut corners better than a Formula 1 driver!!

oh dismissed I wonder... no sorry love I walked away from the cowboys that are KBR.... into a job were I get paid more... work less and have more time off!! KBR are the worst payers for Electricians in Iraq! Fact!

actually KBR is one of the lowest paid period over here that is a fact. People choose to cut corners they arent forced into it. Like i said earlier there are always good ones and always not so good ones but to say everyones a cowboy is just ridiculous

pickers in Hereford, United Kingdom said: This will be my first background check, Ive not had a job offer from them yet just talked to recruiters. I am on the waiting list so if i have background check ready I will be able to go over short notice if required. I think this is normal practice for Brit Applicants.

disclosure scotland CRC Basic Disclosure which KBR accept is £20 and takes 7 - 10 days.

kbr management put added pressure on their men to cut corners, i just laughed in their faces, if an electrician cuts corners under pressure he is just as bad as the management for not having and back bone to stand up to the kbr management.

all the yanks on board i've met for fluor are great guys, worked with a few of them before offshore, a lot of them walked away from kbr due to all the BS!!

Ive got one on order now with a company from swansea and should have it this week. Are the company you work for looking for any more sparks? Im having trouble getting a job with the LOGCAP 4 transition taking place. Also I havent heard about the work in Russia, does that pay well?

Gabriele in Troy, Montana said: LOL Carrigon, thats one way to look at it. Hubby told me the same thing as I was under our logging truck putting bolts back into things Only I could get my hands into. We had just gotten done doing overhaul on the motor and where putting it back together..... He heard all kinds of bad words coming out from under that kenworth. :). Made him realize that yes, I have been paying attention to EVERY WORD he ever said. lmbo.

ha ha ha ha - i can picture you under that big truck now!! you're a woman of many skills! :)

i hope you can catch up on sleep soon and that things go well...try to get some rest so your immune system doesn't get depressed! even when hubby doesn't have a great day, we're thankful he has the job and paycheck coming in! hubby isn't looking forward to the trip back and forth! :)

Well my hubby would tell them hes not doing it.He would stand up to the boss man and tell him hes not going to get someone killed,so if he(the boss man) wants it done that way do it yourself.And the only reson he is with KBR is to pay the bills here.He would love to be home with his family.

Koko Wilson in Florida said: I was asking for you too, Picker. Hope he comes back.

Ok I am in big trouble this way. Figured out what is wrong with hubby’s excursion–someone pumped gas instead of diesel. I am not admitting any names right now. My thinking is I am gonna have to take the fall for.[/QUOT
how far did you drive after you put the gas in it?

You really need previous experience to get a kick in with Fluor... as for DynCorp I'm not too sure... are KBR still hiring? If they are contact Charles Williams or Deborah Malone... but honestly the money was ok with KBR but the conditions were shockin plus the fact they want you to do 120 X 12 hour min shifts.

Yeah the work in Russia is a great payer... the Russians are the best I've worked for... we were subbed into Sakhalin Energy via Gazprom and it's great money and conditions.

Have you experience on LNG terminals? or Offshore rigs... and have you sat your CompEx and ATEX courses?

mona weir in west columbia, South Carolina said:

You know Albertsons off across from the mall. Son got it onto the street in between and then it started to act up on him so he pulled over into the mall parking lot. I am thinking he likely drove it about 4 blocks total. Originally he was ‘saying’ he had put fuel in the day before. Home from work and we are talking and he admits he just put the fuel in at the station in the Albertson’s parking lot--though he thought he had put diesel in it.

I havent worked on any rigs, but I have been looking in to it aswell as work in Iraq. I am JIB Approved but mainly do Installations, shopfits etc.Ive done alot of test and inspect aswell. I have been thinking about doing the Compex, UKOOA and BOSIET. im 27 so there pleanty of time for me to go a different path.
Was your apprenticeship factory based? are you a member of JIB?

Yeah I'm JIB spark... but as I've found out the JIB means duff all when you're offshore... i'm only 26 myself yeah it's handy to do both the compex and survival... opens a lot of doors once you get the first kick in. also the rope access is a big thing now but it's a tough one physically to do it.

testing and inspection is all that you would be doing in Iraq... don't do install it's done by all the indians.

Yeh I did look at the IRATA aswell. all these courses are about a grand each though. Can I email you mate and get some more info on how to go about getting in to the offshore business.

Okay, I am feeling a little bit ignored. I asked you guys a question, and the ony responce I got was someone wanting to know the same thing! Can't a girl get some love around here? LOL

KBR and AECOM thats all I know at the moment.

I would put you CV out with as many as you can and create profiles with them all just incase they do require journeymen in the future. Fluor, Dyncorp,IAP, honeywell, inglett and stubbs.

Well at least it didnt go miles , hopefully they can just drain it and clean the fuel lines.

Whew, well I came way with this afternoon call from hubby unscathed. He didn’t ask so, I didn’t tell. Its only a stay, I know. ;-)

Mona, I have my fingers crossed. I hope. I hope. I hope.

Koko Wilson in Florida said: Fan best of luck gal–fingers and toes crossed. Oooo I hear Stanley is a really good company to work for!!!

Thank you Koko, I need all the good luck wishes I can get!

Jordan,

Glad you made it over! Take care and enjoy the work, cause the fun is just beginning, lol...

tstorm in Plan said: Thats the thing, i have spoke freely i was not knocking anyone for working for KBR or for wanting to. I was just pointing out some of the really retarded rules they enforce like all the employees are in kindergarden. Most of it is from upper management IE Guy Lebau Don Kerbow. they think they are God's but the fact is they put their damn pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us do.

You know the old saying if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck its probably a duck? Well same with KBR they promote who they like/want the bosnians etc get away with a ton of crap without getting sent home and the expats get treated like crap for the most part. So in a nut shell if your in the Louisiana Mafia or clique you have a chance if your not you are just another badge # waiting to be replaced at a moments notice.

Oh my..............

I couldn't have said it better..............

Fan7 in The South said: Guill,

I spent two years with KBR in Logistics. As I understand it, those positions are not hiring right now and with their drawdown may not be hiring for some time. I would post your resume so when they do open up you will be considered. That is how it works for them....

In the meantime, also apply to ITT, AECOM, DYN, Stanley Associates, Honeywell, and I will try to think of some others for tomorrow. Actually, someone said that there is a list on companies Logcap talk that you could search through...

Have a great night

Jess sent in his resume to Aecom and heard back from them today.. Monthly compensation ends up being about $4800... in Kuwait..
