After reading this and other threads Ill pass on the ATI interview. I can't even believe I'm contributing to this Co's BS but Im attracted to ignorance I guess.

Just to enlighten Candygram, Larry, Tabdata, wtfe

Coming from an expat with over 10+yrs Sandbox/Stan

The American civilian contractors (not civilians directly employed by DoD or DoS) couldn't ever take fire/damage or report it openly. The reason being that you guys despite being in a warzone were still civilians and under the regulatory authority of the FAA. Depending on your theater the rules changed over the years but for the most part went like this. Ill go plain language too. "You are required to report all damage resulting from hostile fire. You are required to report any incident involving enemy action." Cough Cough stomp stomp "If you do the FAA is will issue a TFR and civilians will be sitting on the ramp" -------As time went on what was considered dangerous changed. Later small arms of "under" 12.7mm were not considered dangerous to larger aircraft into the major basses because of their limited range. If you guys flew Iraq you may remember N (civilian) aircraft couldn't enter certain areas. The above is why. You could have taken an RPG up the pipe and I promise your company would have claimed FOD or small arms in fear of loosing the flying, which paid quite well.

I dont need the lecture I know you guys were doing it for absolutely NO extra pay setting a new standard in all of our lives.
