Unless we were on the verge of homelessness and starvation, time with kids and family is more valuable than extra money. 400K would be nice but in the end it only gets spent on extra "stuff" |

Keep in mind, when the Govt/Military does this, they are essentially making that contractor responsible for getting into/out of theatre, training, medical and other "bennies". Now, you have to look no further than, let's take a look at state-side commisaries for example. Who transports the food? Or makes the food? It is "contracted" out. The Military does not can/raise/milk/bottle...ect their own goods. It is the same when you go into theatre. |

Its a great experience and it really makes you appreciate the things when you get back home. Nothing puts life into perspective more than being over in the desert seeing how God aweful those people have it. My advice TAKE THE F'IN JOB

It can pay off our house, car , student loans and our very little debt otherwise and still leave over $100k $400k is really like making $650k before tax, that takes people many yrs to earn that kinda $ On return, I could get back into a erg. Engineering job and have no worries about employment, just save that $ towards retirement. If it were $200-$250k i would need to be dire need to leave my kids, but w 400 I could pay off my house and become a greeter at wal mart.

If Aghan is anything like Iraq, there is Wifi on site. If I remember it was like 100 a month for OK internet service at best. It was good enough to download itunes and such, but kinda slow. |

If you do pay taxes for overseas work, the first (I think, now) 100k is tax free but you pay taxes on whatever you make over that. I think it was 75k or 80k when I was over in 2002 but I wasn't gone long enough to make that much, all mine was tax free. I was an E-4 at the time and with no taxes, hazardous duty pay etc I still made decent money, didn't hurt me compared to what I was making back home then.
