XMAS Draft

Just got called for a 84 hour 11 day International draft.
84 X $150 hr (126 credit hour pay) = $18000.

Had to turn it down. No amount of money would tare me away from the family.

Everyone enjoy the holidays.

I was draft called for this disputed trip at 10am xmas day and turned it down. It sat in open time all month until this idiot took the offer. I live in Florida..they must have been way down the list.

Just say no

If you turn down draft are you a draft dodger?

The upside to all of this draft is that the company obviously has no problem paying us 150% of our current rate. I say that should be in our openers!!
