Play probably no, but in the past, I would have taken on designing scenarios if they gave the general situation and OOBs.

I was Navy, but Assigned TAD to the 24th MAU Hq in Beirut. By far the finest period of my service!

I would consider it, mainly because I have some real world experience that might be of use in such an endeavor. However, I would have to think long and hard about it, as it would interfere with some other projects I'm doing now.

Must know how to file military-grade reports and answer to the Pentagon or whomever. Must know the equipment, tactics, doctrines, everything military related. Slim chance at a reference for other jobs later on. Work at home.
Military-grade reports? You mean like wordy PowerPoint slides and badly written prose? :shock: :shock: :shock:

I'd like to think my freshman-year English composition professor expects more of me.

No benefits? No. In America you need health insurance through your employer. If you don't get it, it's a no go. You're risking premature death otherwise.

Work at home? Not possible. To do this kind of work you'd need to be in a secured environment.

All in all, it sounds like a scam. I'd tell them to pound sand.
Not to be that guy, but in the US you do *not* need health insurance through your employer. Many states in the US have free health insurance. The state I'm from, for example:

For those that don't qualify for the free state healthcare programs, the ACA provides coverage, at a cost - just like any other healthcare program in any country that has universal coverage. Whether one pays via taxes or via the paycheck, the cost is still there.
