There are jobs in Iraq. I know one teacher currently in Takrit, which was the home base of You Know Who.

Loads or money. Free small-arms training before deployment.

Dear scot47,

"Right. Sign up to be with the other mercenaries in the forces of occupation."

Have Gun, Will Travel.

Aw, come on - how many times have YOU wished you had an M-16 (or the like) in the classroom?

Regards,
John

Not another gun thread boys!! One was way more than enough... Rolling Eyes

There have long been jobs up in Kurdistan, and there are military related EFL teaching jobs at some of the bases and also with the embassy in Baghdad. But I hadn't seen or heard of anything in Basra.
