I'm sure many of you know about this... maybe some have even already gone and served.  I know I heard rumors about how much you get paid and such in the past, but I found this on careerbuilder with actual facts and contact info, so I thought I would post it here in case anyone might be considering doing the Iraq experience.


Grrrr... I can't seem to get the direct link to work but on Careerbuilder the company is Wackenhut Services, Inc.  Hopefully that will help.


Pay: 90-138K


Location: MIlitary bases in Iraq


Requirements: FFI and FFII and at least first responder level training

Wackenhut is the private security force that runs most of the prisons here in the US, as well as other security jobs for the military and government. They are part of the security for Area 51. If they are paying this much, there must be a decent amount of risk. Not sure why they are handling fire services either. Sounds like fun if you're young, single, and willing to risk it for the money.
