Requesting direct email address to COL (R) McManus at Vinnell Arabia (VA) HR in VA.

** Interested in supporting VA's CONUS Support Team as on-call Arabic-fluent escort / interpreter / training advisor of MNG delegations visiting CONUS for conferences or to observe MRX at JRTC, NTC or RED FLAG, as RSLF does) and/or [2] engagement again by VA with return to VA in KSA under Saudi 180-day work visa (renewable).

** Can also support VA HR as SME / advisor to inform, sensitize and prepare new hires during their mobilization phase in VA before they go "wheels up" to Riyadh. As an executive at another US-based defense firm I have supported during visits by Saudi MOD and MOI delegations, I am an "Arab customer engineer" and a "two-way cultural explainer." Provide similar on-call services to a US Marine Corps (USMC) organization based elsewhere in VA which trains, assesses, certifies and deploys USMC-resourced Security Assistance Teams (SATs) outbound for duty as advisors, trainers, and force-modernizers of foreign counterpart forces in various countries in the USCENTCOM AOR pursuant to some high-value FMS sales cases.

** Since I am over 65, VA HR rep advised that Saudi labor law prohibits employment of foreigners over 60, including issuance of the required "iqama" (legal residency & employment permit). Accordingly, that option of engagement and work in KSA via the work-visa option is a workable solution (no pun intended).

** Thoroughly enjoyed my previous employment by VA with work in BSXB as Chief Trainer, Intelligence/SOF/ISO ("MNG-speak" for CT/CVE) in support of OPM SANG. Designed and conducted battle staff training in PME classes at MNG's military schools complex and the mech infantry units at Khashem al-An and on MTT to the impressive mech infantry brigade based in al-Hofuf.

My e-address is < [login to see] >.
Thanks in advance for any assistance. Today is Thursday, 5 July 2018.

Regards,
Stephen H. Franke, San Pedro (Los Angeles Waterfront Area), California
