Well with the infinite wisdom of the Government of Iraq they have stopped issueing entry visas to get into Iraq.
This comes when I am within 13 days of my first leave in a year. I can get out but cannot get back in. At this point we do not know if we can even get the team members who are currently on leave back in. This is gonna be a pain.
Well maybe in the next month or so?

That sucks....you'd think that for as long as we've been there, they would catch on to the concept of planning ahead....and not come up with arbitrary declarations that require multiple signatures to override.

Why do you want to go back?
I want to come back because that is how I make my living. I am and have been a Security Contractor in the Middle East for 6 years now. Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq.

Don't let the "short timer" fog cloud your SA. I know screwing with your R&R sucks, but take it one day at a time, and stay safe.

I too think you have an honorable job, but, your reasoning for being there is what has us in the mess we are in anyway. I think we have stayed over there too long already and for all the wrong reasons.

Ya think LOL! Biggest waste of time, money, and lives ever. Now ya got me startedNo offense to the OP or any contractor (I hope you stay safe) but we are the problem. I turned down jobs when I retired to go there. Sometimes ya gotta take a stand and my ethics over rode my bank account on this one. I am a consultant now (actually at MacDill now for 30 days) but refuse any Iraq, or Stan work.
But back to topic. What kinda passport and Visa you got?
Know how you feel, back in 1991 I had my retirement orders in hand when I got a letter from the Secretary of the Air Force saying congratulations your orders have been rescinded and you now have to stay on active duty.

Sorry to hear about that! I hope they get that straightened out! As long as they will let you leave when you want to, your ahead of the game.
