no I transferred to BAF.

FLUOR dot com just opened a ton of escort jobs and their R&R packages are awesome. You get 3 R&Rs for 30 days, they pay for plane tickets and upon return from each R&R you get $3.5K, and you get normal pay minus hazard duty/overseas pay while on R&R, and they don't make you wear silly polo shirts.

Only issue with taking over 30 days of leave you're not eligibile for the tax free option (you can only get up to 90K tax free then everything else is taxed; mine is 175k per year so 90k is tax free then 85k is taxed.) Also expense reports/travel vouchers are taxed as are bonuses or sold leave :(

That place is even worse! It just doesn't smell as bad LoL! I don't really have any desire to go back to either of those places but my husband went over there as a contract dog handler, I'll pass this info on!

KAF doesn't have the shit fields out side the fence anymore, NATO sort of cleaned that up, ha. Let him know Garner World/AEGIS is hiring for JBAD for total base "MP" and they're hiring at BAF for flight line security. BAF still smells like shit too however they are slowly adjusting the sewage lines. However the shower water has gone down the tubes in the entire country, it's pretty much highly chlorinated pool water so everyone is shedding everywhere....then again rinsing post shower with a water bottle is too much common sense...

Lovely... well at least that shit pond is gone... that was disgusting. I flew into BAF, spent 2 weeks there for a class and then flew to KAF. the guy that picked my small group up at the airport at around 0300 and he learned we were starving so he took us to the boardwalk for a late meal. On our way back I guess the wind changed direction and that wave of shit smell hit me and I began to uncontrollably vomit all over the poor guy in front of me... I made it through one more day there before I begged to be sent out to a FOB. And truth be told... I would have rather dealt with living on a FOB that got hit very often that having to smell that shit pond day in and night out... it was pretty foul.
