Another distburbing trend is dealing with Fluor supply avenues and the paperwork involved in getting simple stuff done through those clowns. My Afghans and I can jerry rig almost anything, we do not need to wait 3 weeks because the Fluor site manager has to contact the District Manager and sign a blah, blah, blah. Screw off, leave we can handle our sites without this farce.
One thing to think about are SEABEEs. You can request a whole"team" or better yet request specific guys; welders, plumbers, electricians etc. Once again AST is key along with your FOO & Class A going up. It's ten times better when you have to go to BAF. SEABEEs Ares on VANCE BTW.
