how did he do with the 35 day out of country...was that a potential problem for him? my hubby is a journeyman electrician with KBR and wants to get on w/ Fluor...any tips/suggestions? do you know if they are still hiring?

carrigon in Dover said: wow - that's a quick turnaround! congrats on the new opportunity...bet you're both tickled pink!!

yes, security is key right now, we are moving and i am buying the house in his name as first time homebuyer to get that credit

Well so far he has only had 14 days back in the US, after next week it will be 30 so we will have to wait for Nov. 3rd (anniversary of wheels up with KBR for him to come back on R&R

How many times has he sent his resume in? I think i sent my hubbys in once and he sent it in a couple of times.

Gabriele in Troy, Montana said: Not if you diet sensible Monita. (Madonna song, "La Isla Bonita"' pops into my head now everytime I see your name). I eat lots of different stuff, get plenty full and even snack. Just don't eat certain things I would normally eat while Hubby is home. Fried taters, gravy, real butter on stuff. Basically what I am doing is seeing if I can lower my cholesterol naturally without meds or extra supplements. LOL, so that means instead of inhaling a bag of Lays bbq chips that are always around the house when Fred is home I eat popcorn, apples, some pretzels, fruit. I refuse to totally change how I eat and if anyone or anything gets between me and my chocolate then they do so at their own risk :D. I'll give em the cats, my car,, heck, hit me up on the right day and they can have my kids. Just step away from my chocolate :).

As for Bellies, well,,,,, I figured I had to do something when I saw Freds picture.. only time my belly was bigger than his was both times I was pregnat. lmao, not saying I didn't have one,, just his was bigger. His beer belly. Over there, no beer means he is getting his girlish figure back (so glad he don't read the forum :-) ).
He called his belly his tool shed.. I asked him why he build big shed ??????????? LOLOLOLOL

Ok I am off here before I get myself in trouble.
You all have a good night.
Gabi

Believe it or not I got my cholesterol and BP down by cutting out carbs for two weeks and walking every day. Dropped two pants sizes too. First few days is hard, scrambled eggs, turkey cold cuts, cheese and yogurt. But after a few days i didn't crave crap anymore and then when i started reintroducing carbs, i just have better self control. PS: Vodka doesnt have carbs lol

Ok any diet that let you have vodka works for me! Actually I am doing the slim fast but am considering researching the carb diet or cutting out of.

tstorm, what kind problem do you have, man?
Why are you hate KBR so much, why are you writing so bad about this company? Only one question for you, you said you work for SKA, do you know who is their the best costumer?

lostinblessing in Frog Level, South Carolina said: Fluor got FOB construction Southern Afghanistan, CJOA // Dyncorp got Kandahar and two other smaller sites, KBR got RCC Sites and Kabul, Bagram will be split between all three.

hi thanks for your reply can you possibly tell me where you got your information not that i dont believe it just looking for confirmation , thanks

Patrick Hoag in Deland, Florida said: hardy3742,

how long has it been since he started applying at Fluor and when he got hired? All I get are agent alerts and now I am maxed out on applications.

He started In January, but then went did alot more in April for electrical positions.

carrigon in Dover said: That's great to hear...I am sure you're relieved! :)

He left for Afghan at 7:00 am (today) Dubai time. Don't know when I will hear next or where he will be at.

Orabella in Florida said: Sandra, you are welcome. It’s a really great site–I hadn’t thought to mention it earlier–I have been sending hubby ecards for some time. As I mentioned, I have tried other sites, but these sites will not always open for him to see the cards ( think it has to do with some of the more funny mature adult content of them). I bought into a subscription with American greetings–for more variety–yesterday, but still waiting to see if these will open for him. It was a free 30 day trial and then 14.99 for a yr subscription to–if it doesn’t work then I am going to cancel my subscription before the 30 day trial is up so I will not be out any money. He sends me ecards too with the123 ecard site.

Well yaya’s I am siting here waiting–once again on my daughter to call–from her overnight with friends--such a good girl, but boy this turning 16 has gone to her head. I remember the hell my son put us through inserting his independence–and I am not ready for this. Its more scary for me this time, cause 1. she is a girl, and 2. we are now living in such a large metropolitan area. Our son, well wasn’t alot he could get away with back north. We already knew about it before he got across town.

Sandy I am pretty sure you are going to be our Fluor expert here. Maybe when he arrives in Dubai, he could ask someone already in the know ( another employee of) with Fluor or our their HR representative there. Did he know how long he was going to be in Dubai?

Gabi, I am with you gal–cutting down and scaling back without eliminating all the joys of eating-- we call it a diet right but reality is I want to eat healthier. I am going to research some of the breathing exercises they have that is suppose to help tone the belly today too. I hope you get your car sorted out.

He was in Dubai overnight. He is trygin to find out info for me. This is like (really) starting all over again, but knowing somewhat to expect...lol

kerry lewis in Woburn, Massachusetts said: Did you get to see him in SC? Mine leaves for orientation on Friday then off to Afghanistan.

Yes, the kids and I went up last weekend and then I flew up on Thursday, when I found out the he was leaving Friday afternoon. They all have their own rooms. Mine stayed at the Crown Plaza, which was very nice...

carrigon in Dover said: how did he do with the 35 day out of country...was that a potential problem for him? my hubby is a journeyman electrician with KBR and wants to get on w/ Fluor...any tips/suggestions? do you know if they are still hiring?

MIne had to be out of country by June 22. He was out on 6/19. If Fluor know that you are limited for time and if they can get their training in, they will really try to get you out, but you have to have at least 13 or 14 days to play with...

I have always heard how Fluor treats their employees very well...When hubby got off the plane in Dubai and got thru customs, Fluor was there at the passport line calling names. No one had to wait in line, the bypassed the passport line to another place and then were put in a private taxi to the hotel. They guys were staying at the Hawthorne. Near the other hotels that KBR uses. He said that they were all treated with VIP service...what a difference. He still doesn't know where he will be going execpt that it is in the sounthern part near Kandahar.I know that they are building 8 new FOB's, so he thinks that is where he will be. Each task order is a different place in Afghan. Not sure if he will stop over in Kandahar 1st....They don't give much info on where they will put you....They are in the learning stages too.

Good Morning everyone, Happy Father's Day to all you Dads!

Being treated like a VIP...wow!! Just being treated like a human and not cattle would be terrific! ha ha

How long was he actually in SC? Was processing there similar to what the do in Houston...medical, etc? And do they do trades training in SC...or do they do that once in theatre like KBR does?

Good morning everyone.

Wishing all the daddy's, pappas, grandpas a happy fathers day.

Ok, who is Lostinblessings? someone incognito? or someone I haven't met.... I am getting so lost here. Going to change my name to Lostonindeed :)

Going to Walmart today,, lol you all know that means I won't be on for most of the day. Tried getting what he needs at our local pamida (shopko's answer for department store in the sticks) in the next town, ha. They have about as much as hubbys px on his base.. Wait he doesn't have a px... and pamida doesn't ever have anything in stock either, So about the same as none existing px. Crazy, they have 2 sizes of underwear and tshirts for men. extra small and extra big.

You all enjoy your day,
Gabi

You do all your medical and dental before you come. You go to their doctors close to where you live. He was there 13 days in Greenville
They do alot of training while you are there and he also did an electrical test. I just talked to him and he will be atr Kandahar for a few days and then go to a FOB. He said that he has training there until he leave for the FOB.

can't wait to hear what he thinks of the training there...my hubby was pretty bored at the training they did in Victory! :)

Good morning Yaya's and Happy Father's Day to all the rest. Sitting here waiting on Greg's plane to land in Doha. Should arrive aroung noon CST. Then will have to fly from there to Balad. Hopefully the sandstorms are gone and skies will be clear.

Debbie

how was everything? glad to hear he's off on a new adventure! :)

It was sad to leave him again but we are up to it. His flight over was delayed in Memphis and they ended up having to be put up in hotel overnight so he's a day late arriving in Doha. But he said the break in flying on a plane was good. The processing in Panama City was great, only one long day.

Sunday 8-11:30 medical at walk in clinic
Monday 8-3:00 HR paperwork & orientation
Tuesday 8-5 Computer training, long day
Wednesday 8-4 CAC card, equipment given, LOA issued
Thursday 8-3 smallpox, anthrax and other vaccines, buy boots and chemical training.
Friday 8-11 Finalize travel and paperwork, fingerprints. Wheels up at 4.

Had a great time in Panama City, single rooms, rental car, per diem for meals, free pair of boot, uniforms will be in Balad when they arrive and plenty of free time.

So far this company rocks, short days, short processing, and very respectful to new employees. Stated over and over they want employees to continue employment for a career, if tired with war zone they have thousands of contracts all over the world and state side they can transfer to. Money will not be as good as Iraq but better then he can make here at home.

Hopefully it all remains good, after KBR we are keeping our eyes wide open.LOL

Debbie

Debbie - you're definitely up to it...if anyone is, it's you guys! :)

Debbie,
IAP is a good company. I am leaving Qatar to go to Fort Irwin, CA with them

Happy Fathers Day guys hope all you have a great day..

That is what we were hoping for "a good company" that want employees for a career.

Debbie, I hope that means you and Greg were able to have some beach time.
So far I'm still impressed with IAP. My uniforms arrived here 3 weeks after I did but I managed. Free boots and uniforms, a nice touch.

That is good to hear, Greg was told he would be the only plumber to maintain the Hospital. It will be an improvement from what he had been doing.

Does anyone out there have the apo addy for Balad. I need to send Greg's truck to him so he will have the other items he needs.
