I would just like to talk to anyone who has worked, or is going to work for the Naval Academy in Jubail. Having accepted a contract, I would appreciate meaningful, constructive input, comments, or insights into the local environment. If anyone has worked there I would like to know what went right and what went wrong.
If anyone is going to work there, I would like to compare notes on the recruiting process, expectations etc. I have worked for Vinnell and Salts/Raytheon, so I can probably answer a few questions or concerns if anyone is joining these contracts.
I would just like to know what works mostly and what limitations there are as far as expectations. If there are caveats, I would appreciate those as well. I am looking forward to creating a positive environment for my students and colleagues, therefore I would like to know as much as possible before I go.
If you will assist me in this endeavor, I will try to reciprocate in any way possible with information about Oman and Saudi Arabia as I have been there and done most of that. I can also promise you a falafel should we ever meet.

Dear Heinessight,

I tried to PM you but not sure if it went through. Feel free to email me at [email protected] and we can exchange some info.

Thanks,
RB

The contract was held by Boose Allen and it was a good deal then. Have they moved on ? Pity.

Has anyone pointed out to the authorities that Kratos is the Heathen God of War ? That might upset the Wahabis.

I wouldn't put my email address up on a public board unless it is an address that you are ready to permanently dump. The bots will pick it up for spamming purposes. You may want to edit so that it isn't standard format.

In the past one needed 5 posts to get/send PMs...

No worries. It's not my private email address. The PM I sent to Heinnesight went to my outbox but did not send. Strange. I am allowed to send PMs, maybe Heinnesight isn't?

The OP apparently hasn't checked his mail. PMs sit in the outbox as pending. When the receiver opens it, the message then moves to the sender's sentbox.

Probably did send. Most likely he's just occupied.

OP has only 2 posts. He cannot receive PMs until he has a few more.

Or he just may not be aware that there even is a PM system.
