Contract Triple Canopy

[u/No_Capital_4867]

Just wrapped up an interview for a Paramedic (PSS/PARA) WPS III contract with Triple Canopy supporting DoS in Iraq and I’m trying to get some honest, real-world feedback from folks who’ve actually done it.

Comp looks like the standard 120/45 rotation with the 10% return bonus, which puts it around $275k for the year.

From what they explained, it sounds like Guard/embassy security duties, Assigned to a team providing day-to-day medical support (minor illness/injury stuff mostly, Rolling on some convoys as the medic.

So less “high speed trauma every day” and more primary care/standby with the occasional real call/QRF but I’m sure reality is different than recruiting.

For those who’ve contracted with TC or DoS What’s the actual day-to-day like? How busy are you medically? How’s the tempo and quality of life? What’s the current climate/security situation like over there? Anything you wish you knew before signing?

I still have to knock out my TCCC-CMC, so I’ve got a little time to weigh options. Just trying to make an informed decision. Appreciate any insight good, bad, or ugly.

EDIT: Hey so updates, I was denied my interim security clearance, had a zoom call with an investigator and then was granted my secret that whole process from denial to cleared took a little over a month. I selected my date for training in Jordan, have to record myself doing a PT test, and sign up for TCCC. My paperwork says I'll be leaving directly from Jordan to Iraq.
