installing upgrades to singar radios on humvees. it's a subcontractor that works through the army. a lot of travelling.. starting around 80-100k a year. the boss gives you a CC and pays for airfare, hotel, and 3 meals a day. Basically save all your money. BTW the boss is a cool ****. He has us playing paintball and fishing trips and sometimes while you're on the job he lets ya go bowling or to the movies on his acct. it's "VERY NIIIIICE"

the next time the company is hiring i'll pm you an email address to send your resume to. should be soon. You'll have to be ok with travelling and not being home a lot. For example. July 9-20th i'll be in virginia, then i'll have only a day off and i'll be doing a week in oklahoma. Then 1 week off and doing 5 weeks in maryland. The job may also take me to iraq, italy, algeria, germany, morocco and other places out of the country. i see it as a blessing, but i wouldn't recommend the job to anyone with kids or a wife.

Do you need to be in the military to qualify for this job?

no, it just looks good on your resume. Basically you have to be able to work on a team and get along with a team. Also, you have to be ok with travelling all over without getting ridiculously homesick.

Traveling is good in the beginning then it gets tiresome after a while.
I see it as less time on the 350z as well.

yeah but 80-100K for a couple of years can bank you enough cash for a really really nice car of choice..

i used to travel a lot and had similiar perks like Thomas... and i saved a lot of money.. being away did get old.. but like he said, if you're single (no kids/wife), it's a nice way to get on top financially at an early age..

It does sound like a great job. I have a gravy job right now but not near that amount of money. I am home every night though. I don't know what I'm going to do as of yet. The company I am with right now told me the other day that they are willing to pay for me to go back to school. I told them that I wanted my mechanical engineering degree. They told me to figure out some numbers, schools, and classes.

hey man... i may be able to help out while you're gone.. I'll take that TN ST off your car while you're out of town.. hell, i'll even bring it home and clean it up for you.. and i'll even go the extra mile and put it on my car so it gets the TLC it will need while you're off traveling.

whatcha think?

i only want to do it for 3 years. I am still thinking of which direction to go in. I could have the most amazing 350z ever or i could just wait and buy that supervette they are making. I also kind of like the Audi R8.
i know what you mean about being on top of your finances at a young age. I am 23 and own my house. my credit is the shlt! i really have my mom to thank for a lot of my success because she taught me at a young age to be really independent. it rocks, i call my auto insurance company to pay bills and they let me know that i am preapproved for a 50,000$ auto loan @ 6% interest.
