Film: The Project, By Shawn Efran And Adam Ciralsky

Matt — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:14:06 +0000

Now this looks like a cool documentary and it will be interesting to see the reaction to this film? It definitely has an interesting cast of characters that were interviewed for the film or were actual participants. Specifically, the folks from SCS and the good work they did to train and stand up the PMPF. [...]

Massachusetts: The Boston Marathon Bombings

Matt — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 06:53:29 +0000

My heart goes out to the victims and dead, to the friends and family members of the victims and dead, and to the first responders and bystanders that stepped up to help. I do not really have a lot of input on the attack. I think what is interesting though is that no one has [...]

Industry Talk: Equipment Drawdown From Afghanistan An ‘Enormous’ Undertaking

Matt — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 06:13:44 +0000

The problem with Afghanistan though is how difficult it will be to actually get this stuff out of the country, just because it is a landlocked nation and the roads out of town are through some rough and [...]

Now the question I have is if this will catch on with [...]

Industry Talk: US Embassy In Iraq Reducing Staff From 10,500 To 5,500 By End Of Year

Matt — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:01:46 +0000

Wow, that is a pretty substantial cut in personnel. Although from the sounds of it, there will still be a significant security force to support the fewer than 1,000 diplomats that remain. Which makes sense, because the embassy is still a large area to cover down on, regardless of how many folks are in it. [...]

Jobs: Aircraft Load Master, OCONUS

Matt — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:53:57 +0000

I wanted to post this one as a unique job to get into. This is a paracargo job or kicker job and you don’t see too many of these being advertised. In the smokejumpers I used to partake in these types of operations all the time and they are pretty cool. Flying low and kicking [...]
