If this is true, theres a reason the salary would be so high. If ive come to learn something, its that if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

now this happen back when the war first started so i don't know if it is still pertinent but this friend of mine her husband was a paramedic and he went to iraq she worked here and they put all of his money on the house payment and they had paid $120,000 by the time that he came back
there was a company at the same time were hiring discharged service men who had been to iraq and the pay was like $150k
look really good before you leap

I would not go to iraq for 200k a day, my life is far more than that amount of money.

85% is tax free. The rest is taxable. They are paying regular security guards 90000 and I saw jobs for cooks for 85000.

Also, don't you have to stay out of the US for a full calendar year in order for the income to be tax-free, or is there an exception to that rule for Iraq??

That I do not know...

The only thing I could find was a medic job through kbr https://kbr.myvurv.com//main/careerp...ighlight=nurse

I wouldn't ever trust my life to kbr. EVER.

I do know of a couple of contractors who do hire in the medical field. What the wages are....I have no idea, but I'm quite sure they pay well due to being in a hazardous area. One of them if I remember correctly a person would be there for 90 days, home for 90 days, etc.

yes they are paying between 30,000 to 35,000 a month. my husband is deployed and yes it is in a tax free zone.
