I would love to see people go home safe, TO BOSNIA, KOSOVO AND MACEDONIA. You folks have stole enough from the US, ran your base prostitution and drug rings, now you steal American jobs, the Balkan conflict is over yet you guys still want to live off the US.

Flour does not hire many Americans cuz they want to much money. If you were like from Kosovo or somewhere around there it would be a walk on job for ya.

I agree. You see mostly people from balkan countries over here taking American jobs, they strut around talking trash about America, using the restrooms here in the most disgusting manner you can imagine, taking advantage of their positions in every possible way. I don’t know how many times they’ve been caught doing illegal activities around Fluor Village in Bagram. I can only hope and pray for their swift departure, most Americans here have nothing good to say about them except course the males who are sleeping with the “easy” balkan females.

I worked in Iraq as DFAC Location Manager under GCC (TCN Worker).I find that none of KBR Managers or supervisors are proffessional.They are lazy and simply get the work done by the TCN.Even most of the KBR staffs are useless and no productive.It is better US department should award the contracts to Dyncorp in all the military facilities than KBR.

Bros n sis thanx for the support u give or comment coz on my view we come from varried diasporas with varied economies. It’s not a matter of comparison here but a matter of delivering coz as per my opinion nomatter how much the lion eats there must b something for the hyena/vulture to devour. None was coersed to work. I may not quote nationalities, personalities those r shallow politics live to see another day, go home pay off ur house,do whatever pleases you.It’s not how much money u get but what that li’l money does.Imagine a scenerio where there’s no tcns as you called, who will the expart lead or it will be expart over expart we’r all important to this contractin’ bizz coz whatsoever someday we’ll leave to our countries of domicile watch ur qoutes ladies n gents shall we b scared of ur remarks, or incomings?

That’s right Deb and also, wonder what kind of work they would be doing in their own country if not for this?

The term is American Expat. You are an expat from your country. I am not anti TCN I am pro hire Americans first when American Tax dollars are footing the bill.

Could you please tell me, how come a person become expats only because he is holding an American passport, as per the latest report, there are more than 200000 foreign expats and labors working in Iraq, since 2003 supporting US troop in all the sectors,

I have seen some of the Americans working in Iraq (in your knowledge they are expats) didn’t even have a basic knowledge in their field; some of them have not even completed their high school, earning more than 3 times than a foreign expats, so your comments are equivalent for all,

You can comment, sitting in the air conditioned well protected office with the 20 feet T- walls, I have not seen any one American citizen removing the sewage, trash or cleaning the port to johns in my 5 years of employment in Iraq,

So give respect for the people, who is serving your country men in the combat environment, when you’re calculating the tax free money, you should also remember their service,

Please, we are all here for one mission, that is service, job and money is apart from this goal, don’t compare each other,

Thank you.

i’m from your foreign land , i had to prvoide all up to date documentation before i got the job with kbr . also it was safety safety safety when i was there . people did’nt just do anything their told to do ,because if anything went wrong they got sacked along with the guy telling them to do it

bagram1 does’nt have anything right , tcn’s get paid a fraction of what ex-pats get . ex-pat might get $4500 a month and tcn’s will get $500 a month and most of them do more work

By: michael

michael — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 23:43:36 +0000

can i just say that tcn’s dont get paid anything near that of ex-pats . tcn’s are there with no holidays and very liitle of the stuff that the ex-pats take for granted . they cant use the px or any of the mwr stuff . even the FN’s are not on the same payscale as each other . people from bosnia dont get the same as people from the uk . all the tcn’s are hard working and very loyal . one of the reasons their there is to do the jobs that ex-pats dont want to do ‘ porta pots , trash ect’ . if they go sick their companys can and will send them home . many of them pay $2000-$5000 to a middle man to get these jobs. yip kbr wasted money , but it wasnt on tcn’s . they also have their pasports taken off them which is in breach of international law . so please get your facts right before you start throwing that sort of stuff about

The rules were changed under the GAO for awarding government contracts. KBR had it easy for a long time on Logcap, but when it had to start bidding on every task order their performance just didn’t measure up to Fluor and Dyncorp.

As a person who has worked for both KBR and Fluor, I can tell you Fluor is a better value than KBR and is by FAR the safest EPC contractor.

I was wondering if anyone out there knows much about DynCorp and how they are to work for. I was just contacted by a recruiter and offered a job in Afghanistan. I have worked for KBR in the past in Iraq and Afghanistan and don’t really know much about DynCorp….Any thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated. If you know anything about their processing, R & R etc.

Good luck talking to a recruiter. They don’t do things like KBR. That is why KBR had so many problems, they do mass recruiting over the phone and ask if everyone wants the job. Fluor does one on one and is very thorough about your history. KBR treats everyone like cattle.

Good call……..I am in 100% agreement with you on this!!!!!

For a long time considered for projects in Afghanistan logcap because it appealed to KBR and now Dincorp and Fluor but could not find a contact in Macedonia if it has to consult further on whether there is an option for work in Afghanistan.
If you have information about possible kotakt in Macedonia or regruter of fluor please give me the answers if possible.
Thanks and nice work
