As a life-member of MOAA and Arizona resident I would like to offer my services to any member looking for overseas employment in Afghanistan or will be deploying to Afghanistan on active duty. As a retired Air Force officer I currently reside in Kabul, Afghanistan as a Department of Defense contractor. I have been in Afghanistan for three years serving as a senior military mentor to the Afghan National Army Air Corps. There are numerous employment opportunities with many companies in Afghanistan. I know that it is not sunny, peaceful Arizona, but in these though economic times the employment in Afghanistan has proven to be very rewarding professionally and financially.
 
I work for MPRI, an L-3 Company that is based in Alexandria, Virginia (www.mpri.com) There are currently employment opportunities listed throughout the world and in the United States with MPRI. I have worked with MPRI since 2004 in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I will be glad to assist any member who has questions about MPRI employment or will be deploying to Afghanistan.
