Thanks!
I work with current and former contract ISR pilots. Their hops are 5 hours in the air. Your sleeping arrangements are 4 man rooms. Can’t comment on connectivity, but I’m sure the MWR is available 24/7. MAG just recently announced $1000 a day rates. Safety is relative. Mortars don’t discriminate between contractors and green suiters
