any civilan contractors here in afghan? non military

check into the tax laws you'll find you have to be out of the U.S. for 330 days of the year and only the first $91,000 is tax free anything over that you pay taxes on. living conditiions aren't the greatest most U.S. contractrs are living in 32 man (bunk beds) airconditioned tents. the summer was Africa hot and it is SUPER DUSTY. foods ok very bland but its free so is laundry but it's not very clean. as for security this base has about 20,000 people on it lots of army. we do get rocket attacks about every other night and have had a couple small ground attacks at the fence. 2 nights ago a rocket hit 10 yards outside our hanger damaging 2 aircraft and 2 minor injuries. it's different than being in the states and is not for everyone. we have had 1 person decide to leave after our bigger attack, found out this wasn't for them.

Thanks, that's the kinda info I'm looking for

This is a non military job , it's in the engineering world, base pay = $72/hr, and 84 hrs a week, 1.5x for o/t. So do the math
 
make sure you verify the requirements. my position requires a security clearence not sure if everyone over here has to have one. alos check into the medical requirements. most contractors have to go through CRC in Fort Benning GA. where they review your medical condition and history as well as dental and vacinations (hope your not scared of needles). there are several private agencies also doing the screening.
 
only change in weather since May 18th
