Has anyone heard anything about what pay may be with operations outside of an active war zone?
It all depends on the company and the contract they support, but I have friends in Africa now that are making equal to those in Afghanistan. But don't fool yourself, its a war zone....there might not be as large of an organized army, but Al-Shabaab is very active in Somalia and Yemen and just recently targeted DJ with a suicide attack...I expect that it will get worse there before it gets better....IMHO.
