Brian:
I sort of have to agree with the comment about the cost of a reference by Halliburton regardless of the circumstances. Believe it or not I humped about 50 lbs. of code books with me when I did my tour.
That aside, your request is somewhat vague. Specifics would have to be provided to help you better.

I have worked in the Middle East in the past. Don't be expecting the quality of work here at home, especially under the conditions you guys are currently working. Post an e-mail addy and I can help you - to a point from my office.
Good luck and stay safe. My young nephew is there now, basically mine sweeping looking for bombs and booby traps with the Engineers. He just didn't want to get into welding...
You can buy a downloadable PDF version of D1.1 for the same $360 cost as the print version (minus shipping charges, presumably). You can only download it to ONE computer, and you can't cut & paste from it, but you'll have it without having to wait for something to be shipped.
