Congrats to EODT and I hope the contract goes well. Perhaps someone from the company would care to comment on this? Tim is located in Jalalabad and I am sure he knows a little something about this camp.
What is interesting is that there were a ton of FOB security solicitations that I posted awhile back, and no word on the awarding for that stuff. I did hear about a company called SSSI winning a contract, and Blackice Security posted the job ad for it. Here is a thread on SOCNET about them and the pay was pretty low if you ask me.
Also, I wanted to say that EODT is doing a fantastic job of getting their news out there. I got the heads up about this through an RSS feed they have. This ‘really simple syndication’ tool makes it very handy for getting the latest scoop about companies. Hopefully other companies will follow their lead and set up RSS feeds for their news and jobs. –Matt

EODT Awarded Security Contract to Protect Camp Duffman, Afghanistan
LENOIR CITY, TN (September 27, 2010) – EODT was awarded a contract by the Afghanistan Regional Contracting Center to provide comprehensive security services at Camp Duffman, located near Jalalabad. The contract was the latest in a series of awards made to EODT under the AO Mountain Warrior ID/IQ security services base contract covering Eastern Afghanistan. The area has seen substantially increased insurgent activity over the past several months.
“While we are pleased to have won this contract, we are mindful of the danger our men and women in uniform routinely face in this region of Afghanistan,” said EODT’s President and CEO Matt Kaye. “We take our being selected as an expression of confidence in the capabilities and professionalism of our people, and we are anxious to begin work in support of their important mission”.
In addition to providing security, EODT also provides demining, construction, and environmental support services in Afghanistan.

Hey Feral,
Was wondering do you have anywhere on this site with some of the rss feeds or aggregates you use? I am a fan of tracking Rss feeds in several places was wondering if you might share any you find particularly helpful.

Phill,
I pretty much go through all the company’s websites and pick up any RSS feeds. There are not many and EODT is one of the few that has one. All of the gear websites and weapon websites are on my Google Reader. Anything to do with strategy and defense I follow. Any bloggers relevant to the industry is also on the list.
What I suggest to people is to set up a Google Reader page and every time you are on someone’s blog or website that you like, and they have an RSS feed, capture that thing.
I also like tracking the critics of the industry and reading what they have to say now and then.
One thing I totally recommend is to capture the RSS feeds of all the industry bloggers. In my categories section to the right, check out what is there, and grab all of those feeds. Hope that helps? -matt
