Awesome bunch of pilots to work with, good safety record in sh.t areas of the world and Andy and Moz are fantastic guys to work under. Only crap thing is being away from home, which is the generic story of contract.
With regards to security: I'd rather be in a warzone occupied by 150 000 disciplined troops belonging to Uncle Sam, it feels safer than being in a country with a generally corrupt police force run by Zuma and Malema. Keeping safe is all about your decisions and your behaviour in that country, and following the private security company and NATO rules/briefings.
