The pay is soooooo much better. I made in one month what I make in the military in a year. I've also had some DOD civilian contractors offer me jobs. Mostly starting around 120 grand. It's a very intreaguing offer. Very hard to pass up. But I think I'm done over here. One offered me a job back in the states as a trainer and software developer. Which contractor do you work for?

BAE systems. :P Heck, if you made in one month what you make in a year in the Army, why'd you join the Army? I'm a technician and trainer when I am stateside, but here mostly fix radios, printers, laptops, you name it. Mostly printers though, alot of the soldiers like to plug printers that run on 110V into 220V outlets. lol
Well good luck on not getting the extension, I know that's gotta suck being here for 15 months....it's taking all the mental strength in the world to stay here longer than my original 4 months, the money's not worth losing my life or sanity here, but the new Camaro and buying a house is.
