Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, or Kuwait? I’m especially interested in talking to someone who has dealt with government officials in these countries, or performed any kind of building inspection there, civilian, military, US government, etc.
I trained Saudi aviators and we were briefed by our State Dept on how to deal or work with them. I will call you some time tomorrow or the next day as I will out of the office most of the day.
Thank you James. There are parts of this board where everyone wants to hear jokes and laugh and that’s fine, it’s good to tell jokes and laugh. But sometimes when people see serious threads hijacked like this they don’t want to post because they don’t want to deal with becoming the butt of someone else’s joke. That person might have a crucial bit of knowledge for me or for someone else.
Posts that are inappropriate for a particular forum or thread are detrimental to the message boards. There are forums meant for funny, laid back posts. Why not use them instead of hijacking this thread, guys? I know it’s tempting and I slip them in occasionally too, but hijacking the thread right off the bat? You can see what it has led to. At this point I’ve got a great suggestion about where… well, never mind.
Lastly, after hearing from a number of guys who’ve spent time there recently, I think I’ll leave pursuit of developing an inspection industry in the middle east to someone else.
