and pashto is spoken in afghanistan, not eye-rake.

so what's up?

IT'S A TRAP!

3/19/2008 8:09:44 PM

well i know what i would buy with $203k but what on earth could i possibly find to use that extra $40 dollar bucks for?

3/19/2008 8:10:27 PM

So what, are they charging the US government like 1/2 to 3/4 million a year for this contract?

3/19/2008 8:13:32 PM

most afghan reps/engineers contractors get paid hourly to go there.

tax free $200 an hour usually.

you do the math. makes 200k not look so bad. i've had a friend do this for 1 year and he said all he did was play xbox360 for a year straight and hardly ever go outside the armed zone.

basically it sucked balls but now he has a mercedes and enough coke/whore money to last for a solid 5 years if he invests well and keeps working his day job

That's all I know. I can learn this language and reach native proficiency within a year easily. However, the problem is, I am not a US citizen, so I can't apply for the job.
