I’m a bus driver.
Through a friend, last year I was offered £1000 pw driving a coach in northern iraq, picking up and dropping of the oil workers.
£1000 pw=crap money for the job, I was tempted though, but my mum begged me not to go 
She said she had enough sleepless nights when I was younger!

Does she know you’re on here…alone?
Careful 44TT, you may have start sleeping with one eye open!!
There was a job very similar advertised over there for car spraying, job involved working on the American army base spraying Tanks, I thought not bad £1000 a week on a base with pertection shouId wars kick off again, was very tempted to apply but never did as said above worried the missus would leave me but now she aint living with me I wish I did 
Stay away mate, it’s a crap job… I went out there last July and I was back by September. You’ll be getting up at 0400hts for the bus to the camp and getting back to the apartment at 2000hrs, six days per week, every week.
When you initially get there, you can be waiting for two weeks for your base pass (which you won’t get paid for). When you start work, you’ll be living in sub-human conditions. You’ll be outside all day in temperatures of up to 60 degrees Celsius. You have to continuously drink water all day and you might get a brief respite from the heat in a container fitted with two air conditioning units, providing they’re working, which often they’re not!
You won’t get to drive on Kuwaiti roads (not that you’d want to) and you’ll spend two hours per day marshalling and loading vehicles; the rest of the time is spent waiting around in the brutal heat. If you do get to drive on the Kuwaiti roads then you have to bear in mind that you’re a target for other motorists. A Kuwaiti driver can drive into you and it’s your fault; their mentality is that if you weren’t in their country then the accident wouldn’t have happened so, any accident, regardless of blame, is your fault. If the Kuwaiti’s vehicle is written off then you’ll have to replace it with a brand new one. If you kill someone in a RTA, the family of the victim will come after you for ‘blood money’, whether it’s your fault or not (currently $30,000US for a Kuwaiti national). If you can’t pay then your passport will be confiscated and you’ll have to stay in the country for five years. Bear in mind, Kuwaiti drivers are the worst drivers I have ever seen, worse than the Belgians!
Please don’t PM me regarding work in Kuwait, PM ‘Griff82’ instead…!

Good money when serving abroad with them!

Only because they’re usually fighting some war in a backward African country, stopping the natives from chopping each other up and feasting upon them…
