I have been offered a job in Afghanistan with Caliber Corp. I would be a contractor working for the military as a Senior Financial Analyst. I haven't received the contract yet but it should happen this week.
I would leave some time after the 30th of April 2009, when my contract with Liberty Tax Service expires.
I would go through Ft Benning, GA on my way to Afghanistan. All travel would be by Government air (helicopter) in theater. No traveling through the countryside on outings.
I would work 60 hr weeks. Ten hours a day 6 days a week. Sundays off.
I would get one round trip home during the one year assignment. However, I must stay overseas for 330 of the 365 days in order to get $80K of my salary exempted from taxes. So I may just go to England, Germany and meet mom there.
More details to come when I get the offer/contract.

Keep us posted as you get more details. Like I mentioned before, the kids have the last two weeks of April off, so we might come see you before you go.
What? Afghanistan??? You mean like Afghanistan that is the country next to Iran that is sort of dangerous? Yikes! Keep your head down and be careful. I'd like to hear more details too.
