Sometimes a guy is kept on a paid retainer, at home while he waits to go abroad.
This stuff is sometimes more about who you know than what you know. That is where the danger lies. If you want to work (and have the prerequisite background) , attend a cheaper class (there are several to choose from), make some contacts, talk to people. If they like you, they'll call you.
Don't dabble in the female employees, they will send you packin quicker than you know what. Don't run your mouth about what you used to be or do, or how you did it at this place or that. They don't care and you aren't going to impress them. Don't be a loud mouth. Don't start ordering people around. But it is a corporate world, if you have those backstabbing skills you might get to use them, you would be wise to watch out for these kinds of people.
TS,
IIRC, wasn't custer battles owned by a westpoint grad? I think a company called Danubia Global bought the remnants of them.

We're happy you like BlackWater.
As a professional soldier I see them as just what they are, contactors, not an Army by any means. Take away the money and they will fade away very quickly. I would rather not have someone beside me that fights only for a profit motive.
I've not heard anything good concerning Blackwater, their training, management or personnel.
