I'm super jealous. My shit just keeps getting delayed more and more and I'm starting to get pissed.
Time line is fucking December now. At least I should sign soon so nothing will change after that (hopefully)

I hate our cook. Between him and the possible ulcer this place has given me in the past few days I haven't really eaten in a couple of days. This place is a stress monster right now. It'll be better when we move onto the camp. I'll be able to relax a little.Originally posted by Silverback View Postprobably the table meat

Have you seen the cockroaches in some of these offices? Down right demonic man!
Hell I fought one carrying off my No Spin Zone coffee mug this morning, and the bastid had the nerve to fill it with fresh coffee he just made - from my Starbucks stash.
Fucking brutal I tell ya!

Security through obscurity and minimize our exposure to maximize our protection. For now. I'm sure in no time we will fold up on to the mil base. Until then, if we need guns, we will just have to find speed instead. I have no faith in the Niger military coming to our aid.Originally posted by BMCSean View PostHow many guns are you carrying?
The right people have the military grid reference for various places for us. So depending on the emergency they can come to us if we just can't move. They have all our numbers etc.
In the event of "an issue" we all have go bags and keep other necessary items on us. I keep my bags early packed whereas other guys literally unpack to move in. We have designated pickups and an exit strategy to evacuate and make our way to the base.
I carry at all times, 2 cells (1 has 2 different local Sims), an emergency set of credit refills, a Sat phone, GPS, even a wireless Hotspot for Internet access, water, contents from 2 IFAKs and a envelope of money to bribe or buy my way out of trouble.....probably only enough for small problems though.
Right now the threat level for us (civilians) is low. But we are maintaining a low profile and exercise good personal security. Once the main part of our contract starts up, I expect it to change. It will really change once the mil do their thing but hopefully we will be on base by then and under their protect all the time.
