Hello There...

Just new on this thread while searching info on AMMROC. Saw some messages going around security clearance. Does any one can share how long its been taking for security clearance. I am also in the process but haven't yet heard since 3 weeks.

Can any one already working with AMMROC share their experience about work environment and hows it like to be working for such newly established company.

Hi all,
Well, from what I read so far I am not the only one with the problem about slow to no info from AMMROC. I have my offer letter, visa and leaving on 15 July. They told me they like to have new personnel travel there on a Sunday. Currently I am in Saudi as a contractor and looking forward to get out of here. Well be working with the F-16 program as fuels instructor/cirruculum developer. I have seen the negative comments about the company and concerns me some. Guess it started with the interview in the states! Here I am in Saudi and they would not allow me to fly to Abu Dhabi for an interview. I had to pay for my way there and accomidations too, was a expensive trip. Sara Galliott is a very hard working person and I can see why it has be hard to get information due to the number of new hires she is working with. I have voluntreed to start a sponsorship program for new hires. Being retired USAF, we had a good program when going PCS to a overseas location (well, that is my experience). I have been in saudi arabia for five years and I am used to not so good conditions and company relationships, so I am a bit prepared in that respect. One must come to the new job with a good attitude and as a old CMSgt I had said: "he believed in rigid flexibility." With all the new folks being hired we all come with our own set of life experiences. Speaking for myself, I have had my share of work related experiences, good and bad. Sure, we must be on good behavior for our 90 probation but it is a two way street too. The company is on my 90 probation also. Maybe us newcomers can bring new blood into this company and provide a positive influence and hopefully the powers to be are open to suggestions! Time will tell. I have asked so many questions about things there but hard to get answers. Lots of info online about the area. Housing is my main concern. Looks like costs are cheaper in Dubai. Looking at the Best Homes website, the Foxhill 6 development is priced much cheaper and they are larger too. It is just my wife and I so we do not need a large place. The key is to find a place that is accessible to the roads in and out, price and layout. If I can save over $20K per year on living in Dubai verses Abu Dhabi, the ride back and forth to work each day is doable. It is all what is worth it to you! but, carpooling could be the right thing to do if applicable. When I get there and experience the whole moving thing and work, then I will be in a better position to advise others coming over and I will gladly do this to make it easier for anyone else coming over. Time will tell!

great post, Al Ain also has great prices for homes to. So how long did it take you to get your visa after your clearance.

Great Post Fuelman407! I hope to be there in July. Just waiting on work visa and everything else that comes with it. Just retired USAF 1 Jun and it has been hard sitting around doing nothing. I am not sure about living in Dubai or Al Ain...I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Have you heard of anyone buying a car? I heard renting a car is pretty $$$!

It took me about two weeks to get my security clearance and same time for the visa. Wanted to take my wife there with me on a visitor visa, but she is Chinese and that is making it difficult to do. Ammroc is coordinating with the hotel so the hotel I will be staying at to do the visitor visa. I do appreciate your words about the company and were welcome to see. Been wanting other comments, good and bad! I sure hope things can change! Just have to see! Sorry it did not workout with you!

Yes, I just wanted to say it was good to hear good things about AMMROC. I have been in touch with some folks thru Linkedin that used to work for AMMROC and well....they didn't have great expieriences with them. From what it sounds like, there will be a huge wave of new people so I think things are looking up!
