You are garbage. There is no way the service should cost 12 billion. I was there for more than a year and I know exactly how KBR works. At first they will put a few craftsman on a base thats fine. Then they will start piling on overhead. This is were kbr makes a freakin killing. The titles for some of these over head employees are as follows: logistics coordinator, material control, property, ( you should be able to combine all three especially on small bases) Hasmat ( We had three has mat guys on our base and they admitted to me that they weren’t even turned on to do anything in Iraq yet they were being paid 70,000 tax free to stand around) D-fac admin, opts 1, 2, 3, ( on a small base the size of the one I was on two would have worked just fine) , security ( we were surrounded by 800 to 1000 Marines why in the hell do I need to fat lazy security guys who aren’t even allowed to carry guns?), Vector control ( This guy puts rat traps out! Give me a freakin break anybody can set a rat trap and fly paper yet the American tax payers are paying this clown 70, 000 tax free) MWR girls and guys ( Mental well fare and recreation, these guys set up ping pong tables and make coffee for the troops and play video games with them. The MWR building probably measured 100ft by 50ft yet KBR managed to pile in 6 American KBR people all of which need there own personal computer of course) HR (feel good specialist, did almost nothing ), On some of the bigger bases KBR employees people just to wash there trucks ( yeah an American sits there for 12 hours a day and waits for people to come by so he can have his Indians wash there vehicles he writes down your name and mileage and sits back down and he to makes 70,000 tax free), Then there is the guy that passes out ice yep you guessed it 70000. I could fill up this page with all the bullshit jobs KBR charges the military/taxpayer for. There is a question I have that nobody in the 4 years since I left has been able to answer " if KBR is paying these parasites 70,000 a year. Then how much profit is KBR making off of them?" By the way I am a Master Electrician and was the only electrician on my base for approx 5 months!!!!! I worked my ass off for the military and even got an award letter from a Colonel for putting out an electrical fire and restoring power to half the base. It took me 30 straight working hours to complete. When I came out of that hole I was covered in carbon dust but when the generators started and the ac units came on all the surrounding military cheered me. That is why I stayed for as long as I did, but seeing the waste of KBR after 14 months finally took its toll. I survived countless Mortar and rocket attacks along with bullets wizzing around my head but that didn’t bother me nearly as much as KBR. My name is Mark Hanks and my phone number is 713-493-5174. If you have any problems with anything I have written here please call me and I will discuss these issues with you. I challenge you to do so.
