Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 I have been working in Fallujah for the past year. I have only made this money due to the dangers of getting motared weekly, having several people from our site killed and the daily risk that this site faces. I have worked for ISOS and overall they have been a good company to work for. This is atypical for the amount they usually pay. I would be willing to bet that if you are not introduced to these situations, the pay is just not going to be there. I know that a few other companies are paying well, but it just all depends on the risks at hand and your responsability. Good luck with whatever jobs you happen to get and please make sure that you do understand that if you take a position in Iraq, the risk are surely here. Take care and be careful.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Thanks for chiming in on that ; ditto goes for the site that I am working at. NOWHERE in IRAQ can be considered safe. Please think about this after you wipe your chin and stop seeing $$$$$. Bill Cowan Taji, Iraq Iraq work I have been working in Fallujah for the past year.
