So... /k/ lets say at one point someone leaves the army and joins a PMC, how fucked are they? I would love some insight from you /k/ucks
>>29536619
Private>Public every time.
>>29536619
Fuck off.
>>29536653
Explain?
>>29536653
It's still public because the government chooses who gets the job.
>how fucked are they?
What the shit are you talking about? Why would they be "fucked"?
>>29536619
I have a friend who was in the army but joined a PMC he said it sucked and would rather fight for country then money and day
Under supplied and under equipped Pays decent but if you die your family doesn't get any of it,He would also say they issued them Vietnam era rations
>>29537150
What country and what PMC was this?
>>29537171
US army as for the PMC I don't remember
>>29536619
you get a choice, stability or pay. leaving one for the other just to bitch you dont have both is entitlement bullshit.
>>29536619
If he goes AWOL he can be fucked.
If he commits war crimes as a private contractor he's fucked.
If he serves a foreign government in the wrong capacity he's fucked.
A lot of ways to step in some shit as a contractor if you aren't careful.

It's considered private sector.
if it wasn't we wouldn't be able to use corporate secrecy to protect a lot of our information.

So your friend got a static gig in egypt then bitched about it? Hope he quit the industry.
hard equipment and supplies vary wildly from contract to contract. It's not unlike METTC.
I also have death benefits and my surviving family would get all my money. Sounds like your friend is full of shit.
Also, majority of PMCs are pretty patriotic and a lot of them simply joined the private sector simply because it allows for more professional growth than the army does.

This. Especially nowadays. You'll find rangers and other guys with like 9 deployments under their belt guarding the gate at Bagram because they can't afford to sit on the bench for six to eight months till the next PSS or JET contract comes down the pipeline.

He did quit after a shitty gig in Somalia that ended up with a convoy of his being ambushed and shot thru the thigh
>>29537629
Was that his first contract?
>>29537574
or you end up with someone who got out of EP work and now cant get back in for shit.(me)
>>29537629
boo fucking hoo. he got hit and he quit. heres three stories for you;
>PMC1 gets an STD from bottled water and black spots on his lungs on the gold coast, literally working a TCP in the middle of no goddamned where.
>PMC2 is knocked out of a cabover by an RPG. gets up, continues fighting, and 2 more deployments.
>PMC3 watches a car full of locals get lit up with an PKP for "not paying the toll". later, same station, watches 2 men burn to death in a chemical fire. sent home due to damage from smoke inhalation and burns from trying to get them out.
it is a bad shit business. bad shit happens.

What can I get with a year of MP training but no real life combat experiences.
Re-enlisting to get a tour in isnt an option as the pay is continuously decreasing and I would be working for almost free with barebones equipment by the end of my contract.
Also Im in Europe, so any Global brand I could join > prove myself >get the necessary experience and move up into a proper PMC position?
>>29537970
Nothing
>>29538026
Shit well thats what I thought, Ive gotten practice in VIP escort, CQB, Convoy Escorting and searching `+ arresting individuals and searching cars for fucking nothing
>>29537970
Ahhahaha a wash out mp wants to quit playing cop and go play merc.
>>29538040
A years is nothing, seriously. Were you a conscript then?
>>29538320

>>29536619

>>29538519

>>29538437

>>29538040
there are not any good paying jobs. i got 7 years MP, 11 years stateside EP/PSC/Bouncer and im just not finding anything. the best contract ive seen in 6mos was in morocco for site security and it paid the local equivalent of $28k/yr. with a 8/4 rotation.
>>29537929
is bottled water code for local underage prostitute?
>>29538713
nope. there was literally nothing around the post. he wasnt the only one to contract it and after a check they found the locals who were supposed to be shipping in their supplies were bottling the water from their local tap and selling off the good shit they were having shipped in.
>>29538738
wow id be so pissed id want an underage prostitute as compensation
>>29537929
Your fault. lol. Domestic EP work is gay anyway.
>>29537929
Burn away the chaff as they say.
People tend to not realize being a bad mother fucker aint easy.
>>29537970
Only a year? Literally nothing. Nobody will want you.
I have years of experience in a variety of disciplines and I'm down selected sometimes.
>>29538665
28k???? what the fuck.
>>29538738
Have their shit get raided by the army.
