5/5     I understand why girls blog. They need to communicate and share
        their feelings and all. But why do guys blog?
        \_ Because they want to communicate about their job.

           \_ Research tool, mostly.  It's a way to keep links to things I
              like in one place on the web, and it's as easy to maintain as a
              bookmarks page.
        \_ Comes in handy when you haven't seen a friend in a few years
           and they want to know what's up. -bz
           \_ You bought a house, Babob?  And a DDR machine!  Wow!

The closest to my heart is the money- well not quite, but obviously the most fun to talk about. Lets see- in reading the below 31 CNN link The security guys make between 350-1500/day. From the ones that I know that is the relative norm for most of the guys out here. You have to realize that most of the guys here are just young punks (but that will be in one of the following articles). By the way the most gnarly thing when you get out here is that you end up paying more in taxes than you use make. You do the math of what a 3 month tour out here can net. I should also probably indicate that mortar attacks- you don't read about everything, they don't even report about it- but mortar attacks happen at least every other day. I have a company paid 500K sup life insurance policy, sure hope no one will be cashing it in any time soon Sponsors 32 Voxel dot net 33 Managed Servers 34 Managed Clusters 35 Virtual Hosting 36 Collocated Linux/FreeBSD Server As low as $45/month Root on your own FreeBSD or Linux server Very fast, triple-homed network NO hardware or setup fees, unlimited support 37 Testimonials from K5 Users Login 38 Make a new account Username: Password: Login Mail Password Note: You must accept a cookie to log in.
