private military contractors part 2

Peacekeepers are drawn from the militaries of member nations, not hired off the street. The UN does have some Law Enforcement personnel, but they require extensive experience and education.

from what i read at there site the us mainly does there own peacekeeping missions with the army and marines the UN site said any soldier from around the world can apply to join except the us you for soem reason have to have three years of law enforcement experience, maybe the US role in the UN is different from everyone else.

I feel you on this issue I can see you really want to serve someone somewhere. I respect that. But there are alot of ways you can serve the country that don't involve a pt test. If you really want to be a CO or a PO maybe go to school get the education and from there you can go anywhare. It sucks that your foot is messed but most of what your looking to do will take at least a pt test... and a physical

i know but the co thing was my secondary if the military didnt work out, the days of signing up and getting your weapon and being sent somewhere are long gone i understand why but with low troop levels i wish they had a program for people like me who could eveything except run except when its really time to, not sure what to do if the CO thing doesnt work out nothing out there that interests me.

Not a great deal, but not as bad as it looks when you consider the earnings are tax free.

for ppl following this post i cant do the job i called them (dont know why they sent me an email in the first place) oh well you have to have a min 2 years of armed guard exp before you can take it.

Lets not call it Merc school! I did not pay 20,000 to Blackwater when I went through. They PAID me, even during training. I did however need 3-5G to travel with initially for those cost that sneak up on you. ACOG sights..etc. Prefer the name Operator or Contractor. And PT is no joke for most contractors/ Agencies operating in theatre. Your life and those around you will depend on that.

Education is key and I would start there as mentioned before. You may not be interested in going to school but employers will see that as well. You will go much further with college if you have no Military to build your resume. Plenty of grants out there and ways to pay for school.

my cuz actually went to merc school in the 80s when he was in the army he wanted to see what the training was like he said it was a mix of infantry and CQB training in a very short time i think he said two weeks then they told you how to contact companys this was way before they came down hard on mercs, I know most people are contractors and not merc but some merc groups switched to calling themselves pmcs to avoid getting in trouble at least i read it somewhere something about he guy who used to run sandline now runs a PMC, i did finf it funny the UN condemed them then hired some mercs to stop the killing in africa in the early 90s sad thing is these guys where killing the rebels who where killing these innocent ppl they did such a good job africa thought it maid there own military look bad so they sent them home how many ppl had to die needlessly it was own the history channel these guys where a few hundered ex special forces form the US who did what the whole african military couldnt, i looked into military sealift command i didnt see a security listing i do think it would be awesome to pull security on a boat see the world at different ports that would be exciting i wonder if there a job like that ive heard the FED gov was thinking about starting a branch in law enforcement called ocean rangers to protect cruise ships from terrorists dont know where it is right now, someone told me when they were in th peace corps they had guards protecting them i emailed the website they told me they didnt seems stupid to go to a 3rd world hell hole unarmed if anyone knows about any of the things above fill me in.
