A word of caution. There was an article in Law & Order a year or two ago from an officer who went on one of these missions. Conditions were bad: water 1 hour a day, not allways when he was there, bring your own sheets & soap for a year, they found the well where the cook drew water was poluted, etc. He was training in Kosovo, had six revolvers to train several hundred officers, limited ammo (IIRC 12 rounds per cadet), etc.

I condidered trying this, until I read his article.

On the other hand, I know some guys who had great living conditions and made a potful of $$$$$$$. Just check everything out before you sign on the dotted line.

Hey Sleuth,

You are right about the information! I got to Kosovo in August of 2000, not too bad, but the water was terrible, living conditions and local police service equipement aweful, BUT---- it got much, much better! As it should, that is what we were over there to do!

I would have stayed for five years if they had let me and I have a wife and three kids that I love very much. But I had more quality time with thema nd the money to spend than I ever had before!! Doesn't hurt to have $6,000 - $10,000 going into the bank every month and still have plenty of time to spend with the family and travel!!

Some areas are rough and you should definitly check out EVERYTHING!!! My friends from Kosovo that are in Iraq are in a totally differnet mission and environment! I also have friends in Afghan and Liberia! Tough, tough!! But they love the work, the money and the fact that they are able to actually see what they are helping to build! Plus the friendships you make are forever!!

I'm curious why you posted it in this thread? Applicants need a US passport and have to be US citizens. The criteria doesn't fit the majority of posters here.
