Wait...are we talking the current Tijuana where gringos get beheaded or the early 90's awesome Tijuana where alcohol and hookers were plentiful and cheap?
In my line of work, there's a spot for an 18 month tour in Bahrain. I've considered throwing my name in the hat for it but I don't know anything about Bahrain.
GOOGLE will get you the website.

on a serious note, a lot of money can be made overseas in a year if you can handle being over there / your family can handle being over there. Its not unusual to make 150 to 260ish.

That is not quite as true about those amounts. Though is depends what your talent is?
There is a Tax Break, but you must meet the quailifications in the time and amounts.
As far as Bahrain, its not as extreme as you mentioned, you can get beer and booze, and its the land of LBFMs. Just don't get arrested or get caught smuggling stuff into Saudi Arabia. There are guys been here for 20 years and know all the tricks.

Anyone know where you can get some first hand accounts from whoever has done this? I have been recruited before to go over there due to my military qualifications and I chose not to, but I would be more open to it now. I would have to talk to a few people first before I even considered it though.

I worked in Tabuk, 1996-1998 for Mansuer General Dynamics on wheels mostly. My days where 5- 6 hours, afternoons off due to heat. Worked for the Saudi Military and was delighted except for the heat in summer. Drank 2 gallons of water every morning till I got back to complex where Americans stayed. Had a pool and small px. I'd say a good duty but away from home for 2 years. Money was good and got 3 round trips 3 week vacations in 2 years.
Are you looking at Saudi specifically or any where in the middle east? I've been working in Afghanistan for the past 2 years.
PM me if you like.

I am Not necessarily, but I am in Saudi Arabia and can maybe help those in need of a job. The other companies here, Vinnell Arabia and General Dynamics and always looking for people. There are other companies even the one you are currently employed with might have openings??? BAE, Mantech and even GS with OPM etc...

While I was still in the military I worked will several Vinnell guys. They were very so so on how they liked working for them. On another note watch the movie the "Kingdom" its based on the attack on the Vinnell compound. Lots of folks killed and wounded. You can google the info. One of the men I worked with told me about hiding in his room and listening to his roommate being shot several times. Seems he was hurt when the window blew in on him and he could not move. Sitting duck. They now have big metal rods on the inside on the windows so they cant fall in on you while your being bombed. Its hot dirty and sucks there. Moneys not everything. I felt safer in Iraq.
