To Whom It May Concern:
I have been employed by KBR at Al Asad air base in Iraq for the last 4-1/2 years
, and have gained experience driving, and supervising for military support, outs
ide the wire in an active combat environment. I was an active driver and "Convo
y Lead" in Iraq, which included preventive maintenance checks, emergency road re
pairs and all associated paperwork, as well as dealing with numerous dangerous s
ituations that required fast thinking and problem solving to ensure the convoy's
safety. I have transported fuel and ammunition, and have vast experience with
all types of tankers, flatbeds, reefers, and dry box. I have become familiar wi
th harsh and dangerous working and living conditions. I am also very adaptable
and trainable in various positions and procedures.
I have recently returned home to look for work. As the troops withdraw, less mi
litary support is needed, and KBR is cutting back the majority of its presence t
here as well. I look forward to hearing from you, as I am anxious to get back t
o work.
Sincerely,
Joseph E. Wittlieff
