Jag kan titta runt och se vad som finns. Jag jobbar för Department of Defense, så säkerhetsprövning är nödvändig för min ståndpunkt. Det finns många avdelningar i USA som skulle vara en bättre plats. Du kan också titta på att göra ett jobb handel med en amerikansk brandman. Nu när jag skulle göra i en minut om de två som godkänts.
Jag kommer att titta runt och se vad jag kan hjälpa dig att hitta.

Frederik, My greatgrandfather was from near Malmo. He came to America in 1840. I was just in Stockholm in June, it was very impresive. My greatgrandfather was Ole Peter Borgquist, my grandfather dropped the quist, we now have Borg as a family name. Check out my profile to see my firefighting experience, welcome to the site.

Thanks for getting back. You live in a beautiful country that takes care of it citizens, that counts for a lot. It is funny how life is and where we end up. America is a great nation but it also has great problems. Sweden is well respected where I live, Be proud of the homeland.
By the way my wife's mother is also 100% Swedish, he grandfather came over in 1880 or so. Otto Andreason. My grandmother was from Denmark. Be safe at fires, train hard.
