I'm prior service army and mos 63J, quartermaster and chemical equiptment repairer. was also certified hvac in iraq for ac mechanic but have miss placed the certificate. I never did that job after i left ait. My question is can I apply for ac mechanic if i dont have the proof of being certified or can i apply for my mos, generator mechanic basically, even though i never did it after ait. do you get any kind of refresher course once u get there or are you pretty much on your own. any comments will be greatly appreciated.

You are wrong. Vector has always turned animals either to the military vet or Prev Med. And what YOU think Vector should focus on and what the MILITARY thinks Vector should focus on are 2 diffrent things. Do you know what the rabies rate is in Iraq? Do you know know exactly what a VECTOR is? You get on here and blast all these contract companies, but at the end of the day, these are the same companies that helped pay your bills. So please do the people who actually use this as a means to an end, and leave us alone. I'm sure you have a few bones in your closet... Ms. Sparky. You are wrong.

We are not there to decide what is the harm or not. If the rules read no pets then that means no pets. Everywhere you will have a bleeding heart whining about the poor animal until some gets bit or scratch by fluffy the dog or morris the cat. Example i had some crying spec 4 saying the jackals howling was annoying well i think we are invading there space so we should live with them not the normal human way of just killing a species. There is always going to be some sorry ass who thinks they are still in Germany or the US and Iraq should be like garrison WRONG ANSWER. It is time to stop the pacification of the soliders they are in the service to fight not go to green bean, burger king or subway. In Afghanistan on cushy Bagram those eateries are going away. Get back to fighting a war not sitting on your sorry as at Green Bean complaining about the internet or why i cannot have a private hooch.

I myself have utilized vector control while in Iraq. As far as I'm concerned scorpions, spiders and snakes have no place on this earth. (All you bug and snake lovers....don't even bother trying to get me to change my mind....won't happen) This whole balance of nature thing....over rated! My disdain is for those who seemed to delight in killing dogs and other animals. Many dogs were vaccinated and vet checked and belonged to units or commanders. They had no kill orders. Or the two rabbits in Camp Hope. Those were there for quite a long time without reproducing. They wouldn't let you touch them. So what was the harm? Too many stories from too many camps to let me think is was an isolated attitude. I hope so. I myself have utilized vector control while in Iraq.

Furthermore, control methods are specified as well. Non-chemical, least harmful methods of control are given priority. When audited by the DCMA, records and reports are reviewed and any inconsistencies are addressed. So, if you witnessed some deviant behaviors on part of some of pest management professionals, those have acted out of line of business!

Your think is not sound when some gets rabies or violate GO#1 for having pets or mascots and when the vector guys do there job i guess KBR is in the wrong again. Keep listening to those folks who cry when they do there job. I thought for change KBR is on the job. You said you were in the Green Zone well they do have a vet in the Green zone and i believe policy states they are to be turned over to the vet or military representive. Let me guess i see you were out yet again snopping in another crafts business or where you doing some electrical work for vector. I guess they put them down by bashing them in the head or using kinetic force or yet again used control drugs to do the job. Keep listening those folks who complain about Vector doing there job.

And they didn't turn them over the Military Veterinarians. Actually I've never heard of KBR Vector Control turning an animal over the Military Vets. Maybe they have.....but I've never heard of it. You guys need to focus more on the mean nasty venomous managers and leave the puppies alone.

What do you know about the Vector SOW? Apparently nothing. You talk as if Vector Control people are put out there without any sense for their mission. KBR Vector personnel were never authorized to put animals down; instead, they were to turn them over to Military veterinarians. Ms Sparky, what do you know about structural pest?
