Default RE: army reserves

As for being a mechanic. Working on wheeled vehicles is a lot of fun...for KBR. In case you didn't know the Army has a big contract with a Texas based company called Kellog Brown and Root. This contract allows civilians to come to the "war" and support our military. This is good and bad depending on your views. Now, for a mechanic that pretty much nullifies your function as most maintenance positions or facilities are run by KBR. So guess what that means? You'll most likely be driving on the road in convoys, possibly a gunner, or even working with detainee ops! Fun, eh? NOT.
Yea thats pretty much how it is downrange. Civilian contractors do nearly everything. Its like the soldiers are there to pull security for the contractors who are doing OUR jobs, and getting $$paid$$, while we collect pocket change. I spoke to this guy at a fuel point (gas station), where he was supposedly a fuel tester/quality control. All he was doing was pumping gas and getting paid $120000. Its a big fvcking joke, most of the war supporters are the people who own the big contracting firms...
