See this is where working proprietary Security bites me in the ass every time. I have the training and the knowledge, but no credentials. I gotta get my crap together with the State just for the future.

I realize that this is in General Off Topic, but let's try to keep this particular thread on track somewhat and keep the chatter out of it. Thanks.

Man I wish i had applied sooner! Great opportunity. Joe do you know if they are looking fo something specific (as in time or skills) or general armed guard/LE credentials?

[BimmerFreak]

Right now this is an armed static gig, which will require you to be licensed or commisioned.

Since this is a rapid fielding, I doubt anyone that doesn't currently meet the standards will get hired for Gustav.

There will always be the need for this sort of thing, so take this time to start the process of getting yourself qualified.

I blasted this message out to a few other places and so far have 4 qualified people.

If you are interested in this sort of work today or in the future, let me know and I will be happy to help you get placed.

*if my schedule allows I will be down there next week to work as a teamleader. If I end up going, I will have more info when I return.

All things considered, I wonder if they will need as many people anyway.

Doubt it. Probably need more guys here since they dumped all the crap that was still floating in that bowl here via Amtrak.

[BimmerFreak]

I think its total overkill, but if big companies want to spend tons of money to insure peace of mind, who am I to argue?

Unlike Katrina, lots of people have already evac'd, the National Guard is activated and in place, and there is a huge PMC force in place.

I doubt you will see the cheeky shenanigans that took place last time.

I can't keep up

I think what has been posted relates to these jobs in NO.
