Yes, twice

Twice so far.

Yes

I have been deployed 6 times and I have to say that each time I did it I felt like it was my first time, I always went to different places but the nerves and anxiety were getting more and more.

I was deployed 3 times in the last two colleagues who died from a bomb, they were very close to me and from that moment I was sent for a psychological review since then they have not allowed me to deploy again.

Since the fall of the twin towers, I was part of the first deployment, since then I deployed 9 times, the maximum should be 6 but my body and my mind have maintained themselves over time, I have experienced a lot of action but my team is highly intelligent and very careful we have not had fatalities, I think we are part of the 1%.

Since I enlisted I could not be deployed, first I had bad luck and then my brother died in battle, since I am the only son left in my house they did not send me to avoid endangering my family, I really don't know if I should be happy for That's because I really feel like I'm not doing what I enlisted for.

I have never been deployed, I am waiting for my first deployment, what do you think I should expect? any advice?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
