Yes.
Gavin Nelson
I'm going to say no because you probably have 0 qualifications needed for it and I'd rather save you the embarrassment
Aside from that it's probably the best thing you can do if you're ex-spook or SF and it lets you earn a lot of money and keeps you busy while essentially being a mercenary under a different name

>join blackwater
>shoot muslim civvies from humvees
yeah it is
Oliver Watson
I wish I could become a PMC but I dont even qualify for US service, so I know they would turn me away.
But I think I personally would enjoy the work. Fuck 9-5 boring ass basic/repetitive low income work that im stuck in.
David Walker
asking strangers on a Mongolian basket weaving forum about what's "Redpilled" or not....
Robert Clark
can you get a job with 0 experience? or should i do some time in the military and then apply?
Caleb King
being in a PMC requires you to be functional in high stress situations and be able to work in a team they aren't going to hire a nobody that hasn't sharpened his steel in the field breh
Xavier Rivera
You will certainly not get a job of this kind without military experience, typically at the higher levels
You might be able to be an accountant (or similar) for them (and do jack shit and get paid the same as a normal one) with baseline military experience
Having dynamic pistol and carbine courses won't mean jack shit for them until you're employed by them
Also expect to get shit for a while until you prove yourself, which could be until the next new guy arrives
but there's next to no hiring going on unless you're CSOR, SEALS, DEVGRU, etc right now because there's a surplus of vets and they're a time a dozen
Aaron Adams
Okay nigga, let me give you the heads up on the situation:
As a PMC, you either guard an oil well that's not in immediate danger, or you guard one where no one wants to be officially. In the former case, your contract will be boring and short. In the latter case, you'll have to figure out everything on your own.
You get no support. No CAS, ToT strikes, reinforcements, MEDEVAC. If you die, you don't even get a burial.
As a PMC, you get all the shit of being a soldier, and no benefits. If you fuck up, the concerned countries and your employer will not distance themselves from you, they'll pretend you don't exist. That you never existed.
In your job as a PMC contractor, you'll be working in the deepest African or Asian shithole, dealing with pissed locals, shady arms dealers from Eastern Europe, the occasional western humanitarian worker, and loads and loads of subhuman conduct.
As your contract nears its end, you're probably going to end up being assigned to some VERY stupid mission
Gabriel Sullivan
No, but going back to /v/ is strongly recommended.
Christopher Campbell
No
Unless you make your own, but also create your own nation, and have a nuke and the means to launch it anywhere over the world
Brandon Hill
Ehhh I wouldn't say that's 100% true. There's a lot of contractors out there who will hire anyone with a combat tour under their belt.
Levi Wright
you actually need military experience first faggot
Grayson Price
Lol no
Jaxson Martinez
Maybe I'm wrong but a majority of the orgs I have to work with have a disproportionate amount of ex-specops dudes in comparison to the average grunt
But what the fuck do I know about who's available, I just do orientations and people above my pay grade decide who they'll bring in
Nathaniel Brooks
Look up career opportunities on the Constellis website, they’re the company that bought black water. They have many entry level positions for oconus security jobs
Owen Gray
My brother in law did it and more or less he said it was a lot of boring work guarding things or people
Jack Stewart
everything he said is right, real life isn't MSG
a real PMC is usually hired to either defend the interests of some corporation in a foreign country (like a oilwell or mining facility) or do the dirty work of some other country
a recent example is russian PMCs in syria, read about "battle of khasham"
Michael Lee
Most of what he says is related to eastern companies
Western companies are a bit more oriented to money-making and personnel retention, at least in my experience, as they just do the job and move along. There's often more risk involved with the mission itself, but escort jobs through shitty locales are typically the worst most of the ex-SF guys get
I don't know much about what they do with grunts in those companies too so take my opinion with a grain of salt
Colton Jones
are you an actual contractor or just someone who does paperwork for a PMC? can you tell us about any stuff the compnay you work for is involved in?
Brandon Ross
just become a cop and then work as a cop
from there you can go into a PMC job
Nathaniel Martinez
That may be the case with shit tier contracts, but most, if not all, US based companies have plenty of benefits and incentives for employees. I.e. healthcare, dental, retirement
Luke Martinez
>get shekels to bw literal puppet in their game
No its not redpilled.
Nathan Butler
I can't handle working as a pig in the city. The Mexicans and blacks would drive me insane.
I could stand being a mall cop though. Think they would hire someone that's been security for a factory or hospital for several years?
Joseph Cook
Sounds like shitty low skilled labor.
Samuel Thompson
Ian Collins
Based mercenaries.
Thomas Thompson
Experience in a security field works too. But don’t expect to make the big bucks
Xavier Morales
I can't name names or industries because of NDAs but the quick rundown is I basically orient contractors on what they'll be doing with one of our clients, typically a few (valuable) techies in a shitty part of the world who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Company deems it necessary to bring them out with added security, they hire people and I just tell them "these people are here, there are x, they need to come here and we all go home". Since there's often delays with travel I get an hour or two to talk with the guys since there's no-where to go afterwards.
I should specify this is not a constant thing, some years it is worse (Arab Spring) others I don't give a single orientation. Have yet to do one this year and there's nothing I've heard down the hierarchy indicating we have any exposed assets, but that could change if some ME countries decide to get uppity
Kevin Cooper
>factory or hospital
Well, which is it?
Gabriel Green
I wouldn't worry about it. you have to be able to do a push-up to join, fatty
Jaxson Martin
we need to organize a non-profit PMC/Militia.
Soldiers Without Borders.
Modern day Knights Templar or something.
We'd offer security services at cost or for free. We live off donations, mostly.
Adam Wilson
So basically this
Dominic Lewis
I've been security for a factory before, but TITAN does both locally. There are many Security companies that do both where I live. I think I may go back into it if after four years i could put in a resume for a PMC
Carson Bailey
absolutely
Joseph Watson
My info comes from being a colleague to soldiers on international peacekeeping missions in the Balkans (anywhere where a Serbian population and Croats/Bosnians neighbored each other + Kosovo) and in Eritrea.
Witnessed things:
- trucks with Italian license plates carrying WP arms and supplies
- "private persons" from Eastern Euro "doing business"
- evacuating civilians running away from death
- PMC guys working in places where official forces were not supposed to be
- genocide
- strict "don't tread on me" policy with the PMCs
- PMC task force gets in too much heat, radios for emergency help, gets nothing
- no further info on that task force (at least, no further info shared with me)
Daniel Turner
Ha ha. You don't have to tote a gun to be a "contractor." Best setup is to a learn high tech job in the military, don't reenlist and then come back doing the same job at x4 pay.
Elijah Green
Oh yea my brother in law is Croatian he used to do shit like this in the Balkans all the time. Fun fact Russia and the US constantly use a port in Slovenia to transfer nuclear weapons so he used to be around that all the time.
Tyler Morris
come work for my at my PMC sheep shaggers
heading for south Africa soon
James Williams
>Modern day Knights Templar
Unironically this.
Parker Hill

It depends on your haircut.
