Have a read through the forum. Especially the rookie section. This type of question has been asked/answered very often here in the past by ex-military types.

I would suggest that your annual income offshore would be far in excess of the current job you have, if that is of any help.
Count on working away about 180 days a year (average) and the rest of time doing whatever you want.

As an ex-squaddie (I am too) you’d slot right in.
