Why not just ask your loacl FAO!?

Great.....yet another training provider churning out guys and gals into the swamped sector. Walks

Read a review of it here.... http://www.realitybasedtraining.co.uk/home/323-tacfit-commando-a-real-review.html Cheers Walks

My advice to you Jinner mate is that you should stay very clear of the security industry in all it's guises and sectors and look at getting some qualifications in other areas. Skilled trade or IT skills. If it's the old 'cant do a 9-5 desk job' or 'I'll be good at it, it's all I've ever...

Do you realise that you are feeding into every sterotype that is wrong about this industry!? Must have the combat experience. Must have the black-belt. Must have 5 years military experience. You obviously focused on the wrong thing with your limited view of the industry. I take it you're...

RIP lads. Never forgotten. Walks

If you are challenged then do as the police say no questions asked. If you are taken away from your gun / rifle - the police are responsible for it and it must be returned to you in the state in which it was found. They would never just leave it there. If you see police in the area in which...

Most companies will actually put you through the course as long as you pass the credit checks and back-ground check. Might be worth looking at the bigger comapnies first before you fork out yourself for the cousre and the badge. Good luck mate. Walks

I know this guy is asking a simple question and I'm sure people will just give it, 'the lad has to start somewhere', but doesn't his question just show the naivety of people entering the industry!? All the same good luck mate, sounds like you'll need it. Walks

The only advanced driving skills you will need is how to mount a pavement without hitting any old lady who is coming out of the shopping centre and pi$$ing everyone off in the carpark! Apart from the large companies I honestly don't know who actually utilises the CVIT licence as they seem to...

One problem with peoples perception on the security industry is the way that the SIA have set-up the badge system..... SG DS CP .....with key holding and CVIT inbetween. The problem is, people view this as a hirachy type system of getting jobs when in fact it not designed that way at all...

Back tot he original question and gettign this post back on track, my personal feelings are that the security industry as it stands is a product of it's own greed and badly managed companies coupled with the narrow mindedness of the general public with pound signs in their eyes! Why do...

CVIT roles are nothing but drivers and delivery people. There is nothing glamorous, it is controlled by the Unions (trade unions that is!) and the targets you have to meet are so high that most are unobtainable and cause dangerous situations when crews cut corners to get the run done. This is...

I have to say, the one thing that puts me off Krav is the crap and politics involved with it all. It almost destroyed a number of friendships that had been forged over years and hours upon hours of training, bruises and broken noses! If I could give a piece of advice to anyone wanting to...

If you have bad credit history and your in the shit with the banks what's stopping you in lifting a bag of £10k to help yourself out!? It's not everyone but it does happen and greed and desperation get the better of some people. My mate is a catering manager for a large bank, all his staff...

Make another post so I can send you a PM mate.....send me a PM once you have. I have a few contacts that might be able to help out. Walks

The only extra kit I invested in first was a decent pair of boots. Everything else came with time. Not sure why they are saying to buy your own body armour! Not sure that would hold up if you had to use it. Walks

ONLY A SIGNALS REGT!? Mmmmmm OK, so we don't go on patrol in support of the 'real shooting soldiers!', we don't do force protection, we don't do escorts and crypto deliveries, we don't go out and mend kit, work on ops with the BSC and work in FOB and rear links miles away from the main...

The fact that he has been on tour is a shockingly bad excuse for what he did. It makes no allowences for being a down right greedy sctotum! I'm sure it wasn't down to PTSD that he felt compelled to con that money out of people! Walks

Got on in Bristol as I write this but it's almost over now and are back at Colledge Green. Only one arrest and all seems pretty calm. Walks
