War Art: MNU Truck And Armor From The Movie District 9
I thought this was interesting. This is the artwork of District 9, and it revolves around the fictional PMC called MNU. There is also a patch that someone is selling. Like I mentioned before, hollywood is only weaving this industry into the fabric of culture, and you will find similar artwork and merchandising coming out of Avatar. –Matt

Bounties: $10,000 Reward For Information On Missing Energy Executive Doug Schantz
Alright, lets find this guy. The reward is split in half, with $5,000 from Crimestoppers of New Orleans and the other $5,000 coming from Sequent Energy Management. As this thing drags out, I am sure we will see this reward get bigger.
It also sounds like police suspect foul play, and it will be interesting what other information comes out of any future investigations. So for you guys that live in New Orleans, or in the south in general, this would be a good one to go after. Good luck and happy hunting. –Matt

HOUSTON – Michael Schantz is hitting the streets of New Orleans to find his father.
Katy resident Doug Schantz, 54, disappeared Friday morning at approximately 2 a.m. after leaving a Bourbon Street bar. His credit cards and ATM card have not been used which is making New Orleans police suspect foul play.
“I’m just, you know, still in a little bit of shock. I just want to reach out, you know, to the city of New Orleans, the City of Houston, just please, help me find my father,” said Michael Schantz.Doug Schantz is the president of Sequent Energy Management in downtown Houston. He was visiting New Orleans with several employees to make a donation to his daughter’s university, Tulane.
But Schantz never showed up for the flight home.
“We want to find Doug. Doug is a dear friend to all of us. He’s built the company from nothing to 150 people. He is a true leader, a true friend,” said Sequent Energy Management employee Peter Tumminello.Co-workers and friends of the married father of three gathered in Katy on Sunday at the family’s upscale home to hope and pray for a safe return.

Call To Action: ‘DynCorp International Afghan Operation’ Scam Warning
Hey folks, get the word out on this one. Do not send a resume to this email address listed below because it is a scam. –Matt

DynCorp International Afghan Operation Warning
We have become aware of an internet scam using the DynCorp International name, and pretending to offer employment placement with “DynCorp International Afghan Operation” in return for payment to a recruiter. This scam may also involve a request for personal data in connection to a visa application for Afghanistan. The false recruiter contact may use an e-mail of dynrecruiting@dynafghan.com, although other e-mail addresses or organization names may be used as well. Please do not send any money or any personal information to this organization or e-mail address, or to any other request for money to secure employment with DynCorp International or any of its subsidiaries.
DynCorp International has absolutely no connection with this internet scam. No legitimate recruitment effort by DynCorp International will ever include a request for payment from job applicants. Any attempts to request such payments should be reported to DynCorp International, to corporate.security@dyn-intl.com.

Jobs: Security Officer, Saudi Arabia
I just stumbled upon this one at their career page, and I thought this would be a good one for guys that are looking for something a little more chilled out than the war zone work. Plus it is still overseas work, and will count for your Foreign Earned Income taxes. That is if you are trying to stay overseas for the 330 days or not.
If you wanted to network with the rest of Vinnell Arabia’s folks for other positions, this might be a good way to do that to. The facility is probably state of the art as well, considering how long this contract has been around, and the amount of money Saudi Arabia has spent on this.
I am not the POC or recruiter for this, and just follow the links provided in order to apply. I am not an employee either, so there is no chance for me to take part in the referral program. This is me just passing the info around. If anyone has information about this gig, feel free to talk in the comments section. Good luck. –Matt
