This is a pretty low keyed position and is government work. With that said, overtime and hazardous duty pay are your friend with these kinds of jobs. It sounds like a basic armed driver position, just hauling DoD folks around to where they need to go. I am not the POC or recruiter, and follow the links and emails below in order to apply. Good luck. –Matt
