Most companies that I have seen that require a TA are ones that have a high attrition rate for one reason or another..and 75% of the time, its not for good reasons.
Never been accused of being a company guy before. Customer oriented, absolutely me every time.

Open ended employment agreements can be very difficult to enforce, turnover among war zone contractors is always pretty high.

I just got an email that an IP position in Texas was cancelled. That may have been it.

Other training agreements generally have a set amount and let you off the hook if you're not actually working (furloughed).

How long do Avenge's contracts run for? I'd be worried about applying there, signing up for the one year commitment, and not getting my 180 days of work.

I think the current is 2 years.

If you are getting into this business for job security, you need to look elsewhere.
