So I had two friends that had gotten out earlier and they said, you know, if you're looking for money, because obviously pay flying helicopters, the beginning is fuck all. So I went over to Algeria and sat on a oil rig for three months. Pay was good. And in fact, that's where I wrote Pell, the book.

No, I wasn't flying. It was just... Oh, gotcha, gotcha. The position was called Operations Liaison Coordinator, OLC. And Halliburton was down there drilling. Essentially, they were teaching Sonotrek, which is the Algerian oil and gas national company, how to do things. And Algeria had a terrorism issue.

So they had hired an OLC who would sit on the rig, which were protected by the Algerian army or the police. And you were the liaison between the drillers. It was easy money. You hardly left the rig. You sat around. Yeah.

Well, yeah, exactly. So I'd do that. And then I'd come back. And then at 800 hours, he gave me the endorsement on the A-Star, the flat B, with a mountain course in Penticton. And then in Canada, you need a minimum of 500 hours PIC to fight fires. So I started fighting fires with the A-Star. And then 2003, Iraq kicks off. I'm up in Fort Nelson doing seismic or something at the end.

March, April? Yeah. OK. And because of the relationship they had with Iraq, Hallie Burton, and Hallie Burton was Kellogg Brown Route at one point. Yeah. They split pre the war.

So initially, they reached out to Armour Group, Kellogg Brown Route, and it was to... man up a couple PSD teams using Iraqi nationals so that when their executives flew into country, they could go from A to B and check out these sites. So it was an ex-SAS guy, Britt Intel, because Armour Group's ex-Britt Mill officers that created it. Two RMPs, which is our British Royal Military Police.
