oh my. that's truly frightening. i think you are exactly right,though, it shows their desperation. any ideas what the MRI part of that stands for? my guess would be military recruitment something network, but i can't figure out the "I". lol shows my tiredness, i guess, it's probably something really easy that just hasn't come to me yet. it'll hit me about 4 am....

Must have current Secret Clearance. Knowledge of the Arabic language and culture a plus. Position requires former MOS 97B, 351B or civilian/joint service equivalents. it's for former military/civilians who worked in the career field. a lot of times when someone separates from the military they can go to work for the government doing the exact same job that where doing wile they were active duty, but get paid more, and keep the same, or similar benefits.

lol, yeah i finally figured out the international thing...but i would never have gotten the management part. i had already assumed it was military! anyway, thanks for passing that on. (course, if i hadn't been so lazy, i could have just searched it myself...oh well, a girl needs her sleep once in awhile.)
