I would like to reply back to the original quote..You really cannot compare what we do overseas to stateside EMS. It is like comparing apples to oranges..this is a life change. Each contract and contracting company are differant. Some do a good job of taking care of their employees and others...

I've been trying to think the best way to answer you questions and it is hard due to i am really not familiar with your systems in the UK. However, this is the middle east. EMS is virtuly non exsistent as WE know EMS. There is NO ACLS No MEDs NO Narcs NO ALS NOTHING! This country is only 40yrs...

You have obviously never been to Dubai. The Beaches are amazing and the Women are all but locals. Mostly Russian or Eastern Europeon and plenty of them!
