I just finished a year contract with DynCorp and although I was offered another year with DI, I politely refused. I have been applying for numerous jobs with Flour and ITT to no avail. I am sure that the jobs i am applying for i am certainly qualified for. Can anyone give me a phone number or direct contact in recruiting for both companies? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

KBR verses Fluor – KBR win hands down. KBR had it’s problems but at least they looked after there people. In a tent with 40/50 others. Try living in a tent with 450 others of all nationalities. Some of whom shared the same bed together and got up to some unspeakable things. KBR at least fought and won to get decent living conditions for it’s employees i.e. after a few weeks in a tent you got an on suit container. They did not mess with your pay either and the finance department were helpful. Yes I worked for KBR for 2 years in Iraq and then after 2 years away from Logcap went to Afghanistan. I only did 11 months and 1 week before I quit in disgust and yes I lost my signing on bonus. I would go back with KBR tomorrow if the opportunity were to be there again.

i have not heard of this so called “smoking policy” just ensure your in a authroized smoking area..i have not seen any terminated for time sheeet fraud, but we all know the rules..as witht he other contractor, not many terminated for job performance, but violation of some policy, becaue not all are proficient in the job hired to do..it jsut like a network much more connected then KBR because no one is doinga nyhting to prevent the buddies form promoting the buddies, no wander so many problems, and not many quailified people getting promoted…go figure but it is LOGCAP, that explains it…

I agree that there is a better way to handle this. It is only because of a few that this type of pressure is being exerted on the others. If one also looks at who suggested this one may see KBRs mentality on this. Punish the abusers and not the good ones.

I understand the standing around outside and smoking all day. But….since when are you not entitled to a break? At least 10 minutes every two hours and 30 minutes every 4. What if you smoke on the way to the toilet. Are they going to dock your time for going to the bathroom? I see their point, but I think there are better ways to handle it. Fluor is an at will contractor, just send them home and be done with it.

Fluor has come out with a policy that if you smoke it must be deducted from your time or you stay longer at work. It is being aimed at a certain group of people who smoke waay toooo much and drink coffee Turkish style. Some have said it is about time. Some say they see managers smoke too much but that can be a bad preception as most work long hours at 12 hours pay. There are also no 15 minute breaks allowed. Flour has also recently termiated several for timesheet fraud by signing off on others time. This is something that KBR should have been doing years ago.

If you have any health issues that is under the control of a doctor “diabetes” you can pretty much forget about it. Also there are real strict Body Mass Index (BMI) requirements. So if you are over weight you can forget it.

Couple questions for the group. I will be processing starting the 17th of this month, what is to be expected as a HVAC Journeyman in afgahnistan, and how many, if any to they turn away in Greenville and for what reasons? I guess i want to make sure I dont quit a nice job to get screwed down during processing. Any info would be great.
Thanks.

Expect wrong material or no material. Glue that arrives bad, pipe from KSA that says 2″ but is not. Other than this expect abuse of equipment from users US Army, contractors, locals, etc. Basically the same issues as in Iraq at some sites. Now if you are at a Hub then the material issues go away.
