    In-Country Manager - Nigeria (Risk Management)

    Depends very much on the company/industry. I worked for a multi-national out there for almost four years on a 10/2 rotation at well over 150,000 USD pa, but I know other expats who were working for security or national companies on much less (some on arguably better rotations, although not...

    Abduction in Mexico

    I started working in Venezuela just under a week ago. This type of incident is, unfortunately, common-place. I'm able to influence the client to follow extremely strict procedures but this video will certainly help concentrate their minds.....

    Potential walter

    Have any of the training providers on here got a training area that looks like Glasgow? I want some pictures of me walking down what looks like Sauchiehall Street so I can brag to my mates on fb that I went for a curry there in an England shirt? :)

    Exchange/sell Forum

    After I offered an old Slam Man on another thread I wondered what would be the opinion on setting up an exchange/selling forum? I have a sh*load of stuff from my time abroad (boots/packs, pouches, etc) that I could do with getting rid of and frankly can't be ar*ed going the EBay route, and...

    Slam man

    I've got an old Slam Man sat gathering dust and spiders in the garage. The base is full of set-like-concrete wet sand so would need something substantial to collect (near Gloucester) but happy to give for the price of a few beers.....

    demise of maritime

    "Why do we insist upon more training for ourselves? It sets the bar that little bit higher - proving that the better trained are more worthwhile to have". LOLZ! Courses will continue to be invented in order for people (course providers) to make profit. it's been the way of things since Iraq...

    ISMI level 6 diploma v Btec level 5 diploma in security management

    Accredited by Industry Qualifications, whatever that is. Certainly not part of the NQF therefore the 'level 6' is not comparable. I'd suggest you get what you pay for.

    What would happen during a Zombie apocalypse? Would it happen?

    The ZIA (Zombie Industry Authority) will be responsible for the correct licencing of all zombies. Whilst the testing method to become a zombie is so ridiculously easy that any dead body can pass it, the minimum three-year waiting list for official licencing to be produced will mean that humanity...

    What are your weaknesses?

    REAL people don't ask dumb questions like this. They are an invention of HR. Get rid of HR departments and this stupidity goes away. They have managed to weasel their way into having too much control in too many organisations. Creating ever-more ridiculous methods to justify their existence it...

    PSD duffed up in Basrah (?)

    The SIA could use the video for conflict management training (insert sarcasm here).

    G4S contractor beaten by angry mob in Iraq (VIDEO)

    There were several vehicles motionless on that road, including one with frontal collision damage. I'm assuming (there I go again) that the subject vehicle was immobile (flooded engine?) and yet the bad guys' vehicle plodded along the road, albeit slowly. The guy had nothing on his vest - no...

    G4S contractor beaten by angry mob in Iraq (VIDEO)

    I may be completely wrong but it could be that the GW personnel are actually showing inititative and 'taking charge' of the guy, slapping him round a little to placate the mass whilst, at the same time, protecting him from the guys with shovels and iron bars in order to get him away from the...

    Insanity Workout.

    It is very hard (but then I'm old so I have an excuse) It is very effective It is motivating (you see people quitting to take a rest in the vid so it makes you feel better when you have to!) You don't need ANY equipment You do need to devote time to it (40 mins - up to an hour, six days a week)...

    Libya vacancies

    Indeed and that is why I originally mentioned 'smiling' whenever I saw adverts like this, based on my Iraq experience. However, after a little digging, it seems Libya (unsurprisingly considering the shit-state it is in) is a little more lax when it comes to visa approval and usage and a business...

    Military to CO 19

    I don't know you from Adam so may be well of the mark but your history, based solely on your post, indicates you believe things should be given to you rather than you earning them. The immaturity you refer to seems to be deeply ingrained. A post intro such as 'if I worked my arse off as a...

    Private Military Contractors in Iraq

    Libya vacancies

    I smile whenever I see a job advert that insists the applicants have current visas. Often tells a story about the company itself.

    Certified Security Consultant - New Home

    Well, despite my cynicism on another thread about the CSC, this is good news. The constant rumours about the viability of Anubis is bound to have had an adverse affect on the course's reputation. By 'cutting out' the middleman hopefully this will now be resolved and its standing can begin to grow.
