HELP $$

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Didn't go wrong. Had some close calls. My roommate in flight school was killed with his pilot. had a bird strike, engine failure, etc etc
had enough. Loved my time in but it was time to go.

No, cannot pass medical now. No way. This was decades ago.

I am an old guy now. No more craziness. No more bad guys, no more guns. No more dead people. Held a human head in my hands once. Maybe thats where it all went wrong I dont know.

Saw a guy on fire once. Not fun. People change.

I like it here. Simple life.

Exactly. You'd be a very rare oddity. Why can't you get the cash here? What were the payments for? Some sort of unemployment then? If it's not medical or pension related, what exactly was it for?

What are you talking about? I quoted you because I was agreeing with you. One rarely goes from hotshot military pilot to tefler in Cambodia (unless retired or something). Pilots go on to work in the civvie world as...well... pilots. Usually making way more money than they did while they served.

I'm not out to get you or anyone else here. There are few people I'm bound to always disagree with about everything. Hell, I even agree with explorer occasionally. Believe it or not, I agree with the vast majority of your posts on CEO.

My bad. Time to get some sleep. I edited out my knee-jerk drivel.

Well done. Always like to see a bit of self-moderation to knee-jerk drivel!

You had my sympathies for the entirety of the thread, but things are stretching rather thin for me, sorry. Were you also an elite underwater sniper?
That does ring of a bit of Trump-style, embellishment,doesn't it?
"top of my class" " highest GPA" etc
could be true. who knows?

Must be hard to for teachers to pay the rent on time when payday is on the 7th though.
Not unless you do not find work until all your money is gone. It's pretty easy to find a gig in PP (in PP anyhow) unless you have fucktard tattooed on your forehead.
Several years ago I found myself in a similar situation. My solution was to come to an agreement with the Landlord and move my rent from the 1st to the 7th and pay the difference upfront. This was much more manageable as it also fit in well with my utility bill payments.
