@bullettube They have teams of us go out and do all round inspections of every installation after work has been completed or when a contract with KBR or another company gets awarded a project. But the bad part is, that didnt happen until there was a problem. They now rely less on contract work and more on us to do all new and renovation projects.
This was so sad. Several of our military people were killed as a result of sloppy wiring when they were using showers installed by KBR The whole Iraqi experience should be a lesson to the US never to use private contractors for such important work! KBR sub-contracted the work to anyone who said they were electricians without testing them. You guys did a great job re-doing such an obvious sloppy job, but how many more installations got by you because no one looked close enough?
@Bullettube I was given my interview over the phone for Afghanistan projects. The questions were kinda shaky at best. They seem more worried if I had a problem with camel spiders, no alcohol allowed and being shot or mortar fire. When I heard the other voices on the phone applying for the same jobs. I was more concerned with being electrocuted! KBR was taking anybody that had an electrical license even if it was residential.
yeah, I was about to do a boring MOS in the ANG for the signing bonus, I gotta see if they are taking any new Electricians here: I bet it would help get me on at the IBEW here
I can appreciate this! I was a metweorologist in teh USAF, but was stationed at Fort Sill, OK for my whole enlistment! Along the way, we learned a few tricks on how to make bombs of various kinds. After I got out of teh USAF, I went to college to learn Electronic Engineering. Then I though "This is Great!" Now I can make bombs and timers!! hahahahaha. Gotta love Veterans!
Some nastey stuff there for you to fix.
Keep up the good work and be safe.
