Military Dispatcher

Hi Guys
This may be in the wrong place so feel free to move it if you wish dear mods.

I have heard a rumour that NATO are "crying out" for dispatchers to serve as civilians in some of the hot spots they operate in. Can anyone point me in the right direction for these jobs as I have searched NATO jobs page to no avail.

Thanks and have a good Christmas, wherever you are!!!

Hmmm. How are treated with reference to income tax?

Civvies in the FI (at least those on the mountain sites looking at the gennies, toilets etc) got paid tax free as long as they kept within the limit for days in the UK. Not a bad wage if it is tax free and you take your time off on the beach somewhere sunny.
