I got a phone call yesterday asking if I knew, or could I find someone willing to do tower work in Iraq. The assignment would be for a minimum of 3 months, all travel and expenses paid along with a very generous fee. Protection would be provided. The interested party must be in good physical condition, able to get a security clearance and have tower construction and maintenance experience. The tower heights are 400 feet on the average.

When I ask about the salary, the response was: "Ten to twenty-thousand per month is no problem." So if you know someone with a taste for travel, adventure and willing to work under contract with a government agency for a minimum of three months, let me know and I will pass it along.
