You guys crack me up. You definitely need military/specials forces/secret service/et al experience to get a job with blackwater or the other security contracting firms.

You guys think they're going to pay $130k+/year to a dude who has barely shot a gun and doesn't know the first thing about security/protection techniques? hahaha...

 

Um.. you expect them just to toss people into Iraq without any training whatsoever? Without any knowledge of their operations, lines of communication, procedures, etc? You're grape nuts man.

What I think is crazy is people WANTING to go over there without experience.

 

Black ops/SF is definitely not a requirement.
I'll go check out their booth today or tomorrow.

 

let us know!

 

If he doesn't respond.. we'll assume he got air lifted to the desert.

 

Iraq = Sandbox, Like the Marines like to call it!

 

If you need a to ask some Q's and you are serious, I have some LRSU buddies that went to work with BW that are more than happy to discuss what their experiences. No BS, if you are not really interested in BW do not PM me.

 

Blackwater actually does provide training after they hire you, but I don't know how much you need to have at first.

My advice? Don't do it. There are safer ways to make money. Besides, all of these politicians going on about private contractors. They might get shut down before you can even get hired.
