I agree, Assad may be the typical tyrant but he’s not stupid, he knows any ‘chemical’ type attack would provoke a counter and strong response from the Western leaders. There was no tactical or strategic advantage; quite the opposite. I also agree with the Ruskies view of leaving him in power and...

If you apply yourself, it only takes 3 months to get a basic understanding of a language especially French and Spanish. For a lot of lads in the field, that is sufficient to call yourself fluent and they get by. That's a very short investment for long term gain. It will probably be of no use in...

You are young, obviously unhappy with the progress in your life, and you are the only one that can change it. So if you have decided that CP is what you want, why not join the Police with a view of getting into the protection units, or the RMP? alamarahsoldier has said it in a nutshell, there is...

Spent two years there, probably some of the best times of my life. Getting old sucks

Interesting post Col, if I had my time back, I would also steer clear of security as I obviously had it wrong from the beginning, I should bulk up, biceps the size of Birmingham and get a jawbone the size of an iceberg and sell my poor story to the tabloids moaning my celeb clients only used a...

Learn French and Arabic and you will have doubled your chances for all Africa and Middle East. Focus on oil, gas and mining. For some reason most Brits refuse to learn another language and they are in big demand around Africa. You will get offers! Good luck for the future

Not sure if you have investigated the option of one of the large established companies that provide medics to companies operating in remote and HE areas. Usually in oil and gas or mining (talking mainly Africa here) but with your mil' background and med qual's you would have a good chance to get...

If someone takes a pop at President Trump, what will his security détail shout! Donald Duck!!

Horse, regarding previous correspondences on upcoming tasks, I am trying to PM you. Could you ping me an acknowledgement if you’re around.

alamarhsoldier nailed it, nothing out there and you missed the boat. Youth is wasted on the young and that's not realized until you write what you just wrote. Go climb Mt Everest or something and achieve a personal goal.

You are young and can take that opportunity to get a good start, why not sign up, RMP or Police then go through that way. If not it will be a hard miserable thankless slog in a market that is swamped, and you may not get that lucky break?

good and fair response, and apologies for the typo, not professional at all Not budging on the course though. If Dan is aspiring to Corporate Security Management positions, he will be providing his CV to highly experienced professionals who can sift through nonsense. Re: Wilson James Hostile...

I understand he is looking for work, its in the title!!!!!, that is why he is taking proactive action in prompting himself it's Mr Sammiebremne that thinks he is hiring.

AH! got it, also being an old fart I call that a Security Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and a Route Recce whether in conflict area like Iraq or Salford, the same thing really, but it's not sexy or macho enough on a CV nowadays. Just to get a few second opinions, I did cut and paste only the...

Hi Dan, if I were you I would revisit your CV and tailor it to reflect either CP or Corp' Security Management as when a reputable employer reads 'hostile recon' course' ( btw, what is that???)it raises huge flags and a fast track to delete. Less is more, and if it is professionally laid out with...

Gone are the days when the adventurous took the bull by the horns, blew caution to the wind and went out to find fun and their destiny. Everyone is living through Youtube now. Brilliant!!!! the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth..........

CRG is a industry recognized and reputable course ( I have no connection) and Stonebridge is a money maker which is not taken seriously. However saying that, I do know a guy who actually got a decent job off the back of completing about 5 of their courses, all of them less than a year duration...

Hello Polak, I think a better response is in order as you are voicing a strange but a valid concern. It's no good having biceps the size of Belarus but cannot lift your bodyweight. You need bodyweight strength just to do your job, without it, you become a burden to your team who would have to...

No worries Horse, I was putting together a security defensive driving package for our guys around Francophone Africa and my boss being ex high up Foreign Office type would go for your particular background, an easy sell, but French obviously is critical. There is talk about giving our Exec's in...
