I finally figured out where that picture of Wiley was taken. If you look at the lower right side of the T-Wall you will see what looks to be Africa. Before Wiley took over the Postal Mission he was the PM for KBR in Africa.

Wiley is nothing more than KBR’s hatchet man. He goes into an operation and cleans house of personnel that actually do some good and places his cronies in management positions. I know because I worked around him.

After Vernon Gaston was shot and killed at BIAP – several others took over as project manager of the postal service there. Vernon did know what he was doing and did have experience…it is too bad what happened to him. There were several others who took over after he was killed – apparently Wiley was one of them. No need to criticize him – unless you are an expert and could do it better – nobody knows unless there personally. I was there when the whole thing was setup.

I too got fired from the Postal Mission. I was a parcel inspector, I had a bad day and missed 7 magazine clips that were in a footlocker. I talked to Fletcher to see about keeping my job. He heard me out, but he had fired a lot of people and had to be fair based on policy, hes a straight shooter. I wouldnt work on the postal mission again, they actually work. I would rather be on BLS and have TCN’s doing all the work.

Yup… they tell you time and time again you are not allowed to even think about touching a weapon (which includes knives over 4.5 inches as well) or you will be terminated.

If I remember correctly it’s in your contract as well; I know for a fact you have to sign something saying you understand that theater wide policy (maybe a TSTI, Force Pro briefing, or the like)

Josie, i am not going to bash you but if you are on the clock and taking photos holding a weapon then you are not at your appoint place of duty. If KBR wanted you to have a weapon they would have issued you one. Yes 3 employees are out of work for doing something other than handling the mail. Once they see that you were fired for handling a weapon and NOT doing your job then i am pretty sure you probably be better off applying for Fluor or Dyncorp.

Hmmm. Short of having it tatto’d across your forehead so you can see it every time you looked in the mirror, I’m not sure how much clearer KBR could have made it. People have been terminated for picking up small caliber shell casings. You are an “UNARMED NONCOMBATANT”.

I was terminated from the postal mission last year for taking pictures holding a military weapon with military in the picture showing me how to hold it. i feel if this action was going to cost me my job, it should have been stressed to us just as the TSTI were given daily. what i did was not intentional and had i known it was a violation, i would have never taken them, now 3 employees are out of a very good job based on a technicality. i loved working at the post office everyday and servicing our military branches and civilians. it was so rewarding and a unforgettable experience. i cant wait to get back and assist in completing the mission.

Well….good for you. You are the first person to ever tell me they’ve never had a problem with AIG. Compared to 100′s who have. I’m sorry you were injured. Good luck to you!

Interesting. I never knew the postal mission had so many rules and regs until i took a mail handling class. Of course if you jump into something and dont know squat about it you surround yourself with qualified people and learn. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t think the leesville mafia is not as strong as it was before. I always thought it was just a fairy tale but i met a person i believe was part of the mafia and i never met such an arrogant person, who complain about being in a certain position and knew someone who would create a position when i heard that i kept stepping because that crew would throw you under the bus in a millisecond. Interesting article Deb, i have heard about his leaderships skills.

His statement stood-out to me more than the rest – “Financial crisis” – most of us that were injured in Iraq or Afghanistan and having to deal with AIG/AIU – are in extreme financial crisis – losing everything along the way after our disability payments are stopped. He can contact AIG/AIU and tell them to start our benefits again or KBR will stop doing business with them.
Those were kind things he said and I am glad that they were able to memorialize those individuals – I hauled mail a couple of times and knew how important it was for all to get their mail from back home.
