Any current/former Contractors on here?

[iehooligan11b]

Hey guys. I was wondering if there were any current or former private military contractors on here that would be willing to help get me in the right direction. I am currently in Afghanistan and will have about a year left on my army contract when I get back from this deployment and would like to get into the field when I get out. If there are any on here and would be willing to give me any advice or pointers into getting into the business or willing to shoot the **** with me about it feel free to PM me. Thanks.

Never a military contractor but KBR tried to recruit me in 2009 to go to Iraq. I'd contact them.

I was for 3 decades. Are you talking setting up your own company to do contracting? PM me.

I was a contractor mgr when I got out at Ft Iwrin for ITT. Was a great gig, but the money stateside wasnt all that great. Moved to the none Fed govt contracting after that and the money was there. This was all in maintenance and fleet main though.
For all of you who did a rotation through NTC 1995-98 (was the head track inspector) or 98-2001 just wanted to appoligize if you were held up in returning home... As a contractor I would manage the Armor or Artillery battalion turn ins.

Kaos, ha yeah I was never armor, light infantry and Stryker. But definitely have been held up a lot during turn ins at Ntc lol. I'm from riverside ca originally though so it wasn't too bad. Got some back home weather while I was there. As far as the contracting I'm looking at security/PSD/convoy security type stuff

No disrespect to TGT, but you might find more active contractors and industry professionals on M4Carbine.net and other sites.

You could check with MPRI. They had a pretty good record hiring veterans for lots of different jobs. When they got into the security business, they had a few hiccups, especially in Afghanistan.

I'm an ex PSD contractor (Iraq), so PM me any questions you have and I'll try to help. Bear in mind that I'm a Brit and ex South African military, so I can't help you with US military-related questions other than in general terms.
