But it's dry heat which is more manageable then crazy Asian summer humidity.

Both times I went to Vegas were during summertime it was nothing lol!

125 in the shade is 125 in the shade. At that point humidity starts to be come redundant.

Impossible idea. Unless he is going to go peel potatoes or clean latrines which are the Tier 2 and 3 jobs.
The "front line" fighting contractors are not through the various security companies. Even the Tier 1 personnel that might end up in some sort of fire fight are almost exclusively prior Special Forces, Navy SEALs, etc. The companies recruit you for those jobs you don't just walk in and say "send me to the front line".

That isn't a contractor. That is a mercenary and about 80% of his "story" is probably pure bullshit anyway. If you noticed he was from a group of 12. Not exactly a high number.

I thought your ankles were so bad you couldn't even drive a MT?

If you are actually serious about going someplace there is probably a good demand for your current skill set with overseas engineering companies. There would be a much better chance of getting a job through them then with a legit contractor (you are not even remotely qualified) or some shady mercenary group (again mostly bullshit anyway).

Fuck. I was hoping to convert to Islam in the next week and be blind firing an AK by the 5th.
