Lockheed Martin has the contract in Oman at Thumrait Air Base. The contract is up for bid, and everyone is throwing in their hats in the ring. The contract award won't be announced till after June.

I worked the contract in Oman. Life is okay, work is okay, the jets are pretty much brand new. There is definitely better money to be had in other countries with other contracts. These companies, like VT, seek out eligible applicants so they can present a stack or resumes to the customer demonstrating they have capable, qualified people. Take it all at face value until you have an offer letter and a start date.
