switch in Austin, Texas 30 months ago	theo2009 said: Can any active KBR employee tell me where the RnR flight connection will be? Dubai or Abu Dhabi? Anyone take a connection to Bangkok? Prices? Thanks!! My hubby is in Iraq. He starts his R&R from Dubai and always has done. Some people do go to Bangkok for their R&R, not usually the married ones lol - Was this comment helpful?

Did he bring his own lap top? It sill isnt clear if we are allowed to bring our personel lap top or not. If we can, can we purchase a wirelesss service? Thanks for any substantial clarification! My hubby took his laptop back from R$R. Lots of people take their laptops with them or have them shipped. Thanks for your quick response!! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Or is that akin to something you mentioned above? Thanks, KSniper. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
walleye1 in eastpointe, Michigan 30 months ago	I know several project managers on Aecom jobs in Iraq, and they are in no way affiliated with Fluor. Different companys. Thats not to say one may not sub out work to the other, but as far as I know they are not connected. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Hubby is just getting it at his camp and i wondered what it was like, he will be able to choose a package. yes it is usable but they are planning to using a fiber optic network to increase speed and reduce cost. Not sure when they are going to switch but it is in the works. yes they have several package i used the 128kb for 88 per month or you can get weekly and daily but you come better by going with the month plan. Just my 5 cents. This is a question for the other forum though. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

james 1234 in Arden, North Carolina 30 months ago	Job related Q. Seen the Converse boots mentioned for Iraq. Are they recommended for AF? Composite toe or no? Can we get the Desert Tan? or does it have to be black to be different than the troops. Thanks! Also are they pretty good with the sizing? If he wears 11.5 normally...get an 11.5 for the Converse? Thanks - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
Deena8178 in Lufkin, Texas 30 months ago	My husband works for KBR and is located in Bagram also. He's been there about a week or so. He flew out of Houston Nov. 6th. This is his second time overseas working for KBR, the last time was 5 years ago. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
Deena8178 in Lufkin, Texas 30 months ago	ShannonG in Lorena, Texas said: Dh has been in Bagram for about a week now. I talked to him last night. He's working 7AM-7PM. I think he eats breakfast before he clocks in, not sure. But his lunch and dinner are within the 12 hour day that he's on the clock. He was initially offered the job as Labor Foreman. But when it came time to go to Houston and do this, his recruiter said they rescinded all the Foreman jobs and he would just be going as a Laborer. But he's there now and he's a Labor Foreman...but I think at a Laborer salary. Don't know if this is normal or was a way to get him there cheaper. Either way, we're just blessed he's there and know he can move up or make more money there in 6 months or so. He also said that the locals are the laborers. Some seem to live on the base and others in a camp just outside the base. He said their workday ends at 4PM so there's not much supervising to do after 4. Weird. But he's just getting into things and figuring things out. Couple other comments I'll tack on here instead of making a new comment. I finally got his APO address so I can start getting together a package for him. He asked for me to send one of our cushy sleeping bags to put under the one he's using for a little padding. Guess those cots are like a rock. He asked for an electric blanket. I asked if he was already freezing and he said not now, but was warned within 30 days the butt cold would turn to bitter butt cold and to get prepared. He also wants more long-sleeved work shirts. He's trying to find out what you call the most used dialect over there for those Afghan workers and see if there's a Rosetta Stone or something he can use to work on learning it. Anyone know?? Thanks! My husband has also requested an electric blanket. He said it is about to get really cold and snowing there. I got his APO address today and will be picking up some odds and end things he requested to send out in the next few days. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Gabriele in Troy, Montana 30 months ago	Ksniper777 in San Antonio, Texas said: Dubai and the price for a ticket varies between 700-900 dollars. Ksniper, is that the price of the ticket if you buy it yourself? or if KBR buys it? - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
Ksniper777 in San Antonio, Texas 30 months ago Moderator	Gabriele in Troy, Montana said: Ksniper, is that the price of the ticket if you buy it yourself? or if KBR buys it? That is if KBR buys it for you because if something goes wrong or there is a flight delay they rebook the flight at no cost or if they decide to stop flying SKYLINK issues then if you bought you ticket you have to pay to rebook if you don't have insurance or if they cancel your R&R due to mission needs. So i would have KBR buy my ticket in case it goes south. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

walleye1 in eastpointe, Michigan 30 months ago	socalna in west coast, California said: They say there not but when you google aecom it says that they are. Dont know how they can say that. I applied for a Fluor job, when I was working on a Aecom job. HR with Aecom had nothing to do with Fuor. Who knows, everybody is trying to jump on the money wagon over there. I do know this, Flour is one of the top paying companys, and Aecom is probably the lowest, as far as electricians go. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
james 1234 in Arden, North Carolina 30 months ago	aecom is lower...but fluor in most of its requirement listings want LOGCAP experience. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

TwiceShy in Houston, Texas 30 months ago	Gabriele in Troy, Montana said: Ksniper, is that the price of the ticket if you buy it yourself? or if KBR buys it? I can add...that I had checked online for a ticket that was ~$1100 to the states, KBR bought it and their cost was ~$1400, after inquiry at travel, I was told that I actually must pay for the insurance to cover any future change costs even though it's really out of my hands to make it from theater to the point of departure, once there, I can see the responsibility if I miss my flight, however, most delays are caused by internal flight delays by weather or other reasons. So you foot the extra $300 or so to pay the insurance. I believe it is because of a lot of vacationers were inebriated and missing their flights at the point of departure. If you purchase your own ticket and wish to be reimbursed, you must produce a ticket stub, a lot of employees were cashing their tickets in and partying in Dubai with the money. - Was this comment helpful?

lcgipson in Austin, Texas 30 months ago	This site is a trip.... Yes, let KBR buy your ticket...its a no brainer Yes, Fluor is paying more in Afgh right now but things are poppin' off like crazy in the Kabul area. They are doing transition interviews right now. Yes, Bidding is going on right now for LCIV in Iraq....results should be out at the end of the month. Signed~ Still out here in Iraq playin in the desert. - Was this comment helpful?

MoMo2 in Atlanta, Georgia 30 months ago	For KBR, if you are trying to get a job along with a spouse/friend do they take that into consideration? How difficult is it to try to at least get the same Country/area with that person? Also if say you both apply at the same time, what are the chances that you will get a job and leave around the same time? - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
MoMo2 in Atlanta, Georgia 30 months ago	If someone has been a firefighter, fire marshal for the past 5 years as well as EMT experience (and still works part-time in a hospital) will the recruiters place them in a fire position or medical position? does anyone know about fire fighting in Afghanistan? - Was this comment helpful?

I tried too 1300 gmt is 3am here so I kept logging in till 3:20 only to get the no recruiter message so I gave up. I assumed the thing got canceled so I went back to sleep. I tried again at 6:20 and got someone a recruiter who apologized for my problem but, the site was closed and suggested trying again next time.
