Northrop Grumman (Vinnell) has a contract to train the Saudi National Guard in Riyadh. Is there anyone out there who has first hand experience with this organization? What are they like to work for? How are the Saudi National Guard trainees?

Greetings.

I refer to your earlier post about possible employment by Vinnell Arabia (VA) to support the ESL program for members of SANG.

SANG reportedly has a vigorous and diversified ESL / ESP program to train SANGers to:

(1) understand instruction in English at the Khashm al-3an Training Center

and

(2) prepare selected SANGers to proceed to advanced ESL in the US enroute to formal US Army military schooling.

Did you accept that ESL position? If so, where do you live in Riyadh? IIRC, VA houses its employees (all single-status since the rise in threat level) inside the "ROC" Compound, which is next door to the Al-Yamama Compound.

Hope this helps.
