erick wilson in Houston, Texas said: so anyone who has defaults and charge offs will be denied thats unbelievable so its best to go through bankruptcy thats crazy

yes because if you renig on bills and ignore them it shows no responsibitlity whereas doing a bankruptcy is showing responsibility and doing the right thing. thats what the investigator told me when i went thru mine in 2003 and had to have my security clearance redone in 2005.

4 per year (every 3 months that is) I forgot the dollar amount they give you for flights. They do have a sign on bonus though.

i was active duty from 1985 to 2007. I had to have it revalidated in 2005 cuz it is good for 10 years at a time. in 1995 i never saw investigator. In 2005 since i had done a bankruptcy in 2003 i had to sit down and explain every stinking thing on my credit report since half the morons listed it as a charge off even though it was listed in the banruptcy papers. you have to do a SF85 everytime you have to renew your clearance. If the job you are trying to get dont require it dont worry about it.

not with KBR, no one will notice except your co-workers and then they start asking questions...like why?
It works out only if your single, obviously I don't recommend it if you have spouse/family.

no the SF85 is for a security clearance. If you are going into a job that does not require it you do not need to fill it out

Hazel Stricklin in Bossier City, Louisiana said: I really do need a plumber!! LOLOLOL Last week my son's girlfriend and I smell a funny odor in my bedroom! It never went away, and could smell in when standing under the AC vent the most. I finally decided to check my little Scotties bed to see if he had brought some kind of "creature" inside with him. His bed was soaked!! I felt the carpet and it was very wet!! Went to the utility room in the garage and it was flooded, it is just on the other side of the wall from my room. The smell is the carpet! I have to have a new water heater and change the carpet out!! Have called the warranty company and they are coming tomorrow and now have to find someone to come do the carpet!! OH, well, new carpet never hurts!!

Oh Hazel, that is terrible, when it rains it pours eh. Hoping your pain has subsided today. Will your insurance company pay for the damage? I know they wont pay for the heater, but there may be coverage for the damage.

Sf85p. It's actually a public trust. Here is a link to an example of. Just be honest on it. The info they are asking about--well much of it was covered before-least by KBR but on multi forms. It is related to the CAC card I believe, getting it. It is often confused with the sf86p which is documentation for security clearance. Best of luck to you.

Houston is kinda like MEPS , just 2 weeks of it though lol . When I went in January we had a ridiculous size class 700+ , but we all still had our own rooms , there is the Hilton , Marriott , comfort inn wich is poo , and another . The Marr and Hilton are walking distance but the others definitely have to bus it , just be ready to sit at a table for 12 to 16 hrs a day , then have a full day of medical , lung screenings , chest x-rays , blood check for cholesterol, hiv , any abnormalities ,hearing screening , blood pressure and a full medical back ground check , just don't take everything they say there to heart , when you get over hear it all changes , but thats pretty much proccessing.

PagelOne in Massachusetts said: There have been issues with KBR "holding" on to them and therefore interfering with your potential to get a new one if needed for anther company. (I should have put that statement in)

Alternative: Oops I lost my CAC card (better have a good backstory)
Get new one.
When it's time to go home ...
... turn in old one.

You can be fired for losing that sensitive item, no questions asked.

I lost a CAC card at like the beginning of the year, was "assigned" 4 days off...still waiting for them, but yeah, I'm sure you'd get canned if you say you lost it today. The reason it was lost was that stupid card holder they gave me in Houston cracked off the lanyard. If its so important, why do they give you such crappy card-holders?

Yes...I used them last year. They took a lot of time explaining the process. The process was very simple. The cost was $450.00 but I felt it was worht it....There were things I wouls never have figured out by myself and when I asked the IRD - they were WRONG... OMG did not have a clue what the EXPAT rules are. So Palazzo was great. they came recommended to my by another guy that has been with KBR for 3 years....

Hazel,

MOST IMPORTANTLY....make sure the plumber fixes the leak and THEN dries everything out very very well. You don't want MOLD to set in......

Hi there Martha. Since Fluor is probably NOT hiring equipment operators, I may be interested in something in Antarctica. Can you share the details that might help get me on board. Thank you. In case you no longer have my email address, it's aclwolverine (at) aol (dot) com. Thanks a bunch.

hubby bought a cell phone in bagram, paid 125. for the cell phone and there were 3 packages to choose from, he chose the $53.00 which gave him 2500 afghannies what ever that means, guess its like our mins here on our phone. He said if you use it around the base its not to bad of a deal but if you use it to call home its not worth it.
