That'll make things easier for the Holidays.

Yep. I come off rotation on the 23rd and am off until the 30th. With any luck I can put in my 2 weeks notice sometime before the 30th. They are gonna let me go on the spot anyways.

New passport came today. I got word on Saturday that we won't be leaving until after the 1st. My boss was supposed to get more info today when he went in to their office. He's been traveling and out of the loop. Hopefully we can chat tomorrow.

I came back in Sept from a year and a half in Kuwait. The week we decided I was going to do another year a suicide bomber hit a mosque there. I had promised the wife if anything happened in country I would bail. She didn't even know about it when I messaged her with dates to find an airline ticket for me. I loved the money and the job was easy other than working outside in the heat. But a promise is a promise.

Is 7 months enough to get you tax free? I thought it was 330 days out of a tax year for that? I know I had to do an extension and vacationed in Europe for two weeks not to bust through the 330 (left April 15th so had to do an extension till then) When I came here on vacation my tax lady freaked thinking I was coming home for good. She was tracking it to the day to ensure I had a "good" tax year. They specialize on oversea stuff.


Good luck over there and don't forget to set up a good VPN before you go.

How was the money in Kuwait? You can pm me if you want.

Virtual Private Network? I run Gom on Google Chrome and Betternet on the phone. But i'm on Hadjinet and they block a lot of shit.

^^^^ This

Better to be able to surf what you want. I missed the Super Bowl last year cause I didn't have one. I signed up for the NBC ap to watch online only to get the "broadcast rules don't allow us to stream it out of the states" message. From what I understand they don't cost much.

STAN is the shit but they do block the good sites. I have a 1t hard drive full of pron though. As long as our network lets us on torrent sites I will be good.

I'm not there, i'm at The Rock. And a VPN is good regardless of where you are.

Yes, it is shorter than the 330 I need but I am counting on moving into another job at the end of this one. Worst case I pay taxes each month and don't get to claim the exemption.

School me on why a vpn? We will have a satellite communication setup just for our people (<20).
