    Sounds like a decent opportunity for someone that's young with no family. I would have done something like that right out of college for a year or two.

    LOL, yes, its real....there's a world outside of weed and poker...

    Also, For people a bit out of shape, no prob, the 2 months will help a bit...get yourself to be able to do 20 pull-ups and 50 sit-ups and you'll be fine.

    I appreciate you posting this, and hate to be skeptical, but c'mon. You're posting about a job that essentially pays up to 300k a year in the off topic section of a poker forum.

    Can't possibly be real.

    Kinda sends red flags when in the post you state " have not been in the military or police force ". I would think that any company providing protection would be seeking people who are trained already or at least have a background in handeling weapons. With all the veterans returning from Iraq and Afganistan it would be great to help them out with a possible job offer. Any thing that sounds too good to be true generally is.

    We've had problems in the past with police and gi's...this is a private company and it wants to remain neutral. We do not set foot on soil outside of ground safe areas. You're either on a plane, heli, or boat. The countries that we represent will know your names. There is corruption at high levels and police or army people are juicy targets for kidnapping. While we use our own transportation, it is just an added problem.

    Believe me, if you knew what shipping companies pay, you wouldn't think this was a lot.

    I dont see why a former cop or military would seem more valuable than any other young American blooded person unless they were like a fucking general or something.

    Go from out of shape to doing 20 pull ups in 2 months. I call aboslute bull shit right here. If you cant do 1 pull up today, there isnt but maybe .001% of the worlds population who could go from zero pull ups to 20 pull ups in 2 months.

    I am sure you workout freaks can confirm this. May be go from zero to 8 in 2 months?
