Does anybody have information about Booz Allen? It looks great on paper and I know it's in Saudi. Just wondering.

Last I heard, maybe about a year ago, was that one of their guys in Jubail got shot or something and they pulled everybody out of the country on paid leave. I sent them an application a few months ago, but never heard anything. Have you seen a recent ad?

A decent bunch- I applied to them when I was in the U.S. (For a D.C. position, unrelated to EFL.) Didn't know they were in the TEFLing business. Young padawan much to learn he still has...

they have a contract at the Navy Base in Jubail, so it's a typical Saudi Military Contract. They offer a nice compound and much better conditions than direct hire I believe, and you used to be finished round about two in the afternoon.

With regard to the teacher being shot nobody seems to know for certain what happened. The story that has most credence is that it was a trainee annoyed the teacher had failed him in the exam.
