Some thing different, some thing new ?!
Good luck in your search !
Snip: Mike has already done a tour with DYNCORP .. this will be his second job/tour. Snip:
Working for a company called MPRI ( http://www.mpri.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ). Below is the job description that may further clarify the mission. This mission is designed to disrupt criminal activities (read; terrorist networks) by interrupting IED-based organizations. The approach is to embed U.S. law enforcement personnel at the Battalion level, through Division or even Corp levels. Working on the military playing field, the LEO looks at it from a criminal aspect, whereas the military is normally tasked with killing whatever is in front of them.
As an embed, we are assigned to a specific military organization, either already in theater or in the states waiting to deploy. Waiting to deploy may involve staging with the soon-to-be activated unit, so I could end up in Hawaii, CA, NC, etc or Italy or Germany with a unit there.
On top of an exciting mission, I could conceivably come back and do this mission state-side at a local military base; 29 Palms MCB is one hour away and Camp Pendleton MCB is two hours away. My friend who recruited me to this position said that I could easily swing these positions AFTER I finish one mission.
This is a good thing. Time line is I will be in Alexandria, VA on August 27th. September 4th I go to Ft. Benning, GA for processing (did it before with the other operation and this was a long, lonely week). After that, they determine if I (or the others) are embedding with a state-side unit and if so transfer there. Otherwise, onto Ali Al Salim AB, Kuwait for distribution to either sunny Iraq or snowy Afghanistan. I am rooting for A-stan; i hear it is a lot like Big Bear Lake.
BTW, this job normally attracts FBI, DEA and other federal investigators. I am going to working outside my class for sure.
