Interesting...looking for "100 VOLUNTEER" Creole interpreters to live onbard ship for a month without any hope of visiting family and friends ashore...while the militray-industrial-contrator complex is kicking into high gear with visions of Million Dollar profits over the next 5 to 10 years...Please I beg you Mr Undersecraty, pay these "volunteers" a decent wage and allow them to rotate ashore for 48 hours once a week...in the Navy we called it "liberty call" and 6 section duty will work just fine...and in business it's called a decent day's wage for a decent day's "work!" Thanks.
