Ship Security, anyone know the details

[Captain Hook]

So I've had dealings with Hart International. Big into maritime security, and every single one of them was an experienced ex SF guy.

This guy is either bullshitting her or himself.

FFL?

French foreign legion

I though FFL was stuttering contraception (not a bad idea in any case by the sound of it)

FFL cutoff is 35

39.5

I wouldn't care if he's planning on doing a Ronin cse or something similar, sounds like he wants to get there the easy route (i.e. by giving up a job and sponging off of his GF), that in itself should speak volumes for his type of character, inexperience in the security industry notwithstanding.

I'd also be concerned that her young age in conjunction with his comparatively advanced age, would leave her susceptible to being easily manipulated.

there are ship security team members on this forum who would take him off your hands for a lot less than 90.

This course sounds like the Bastion Academy (pretty reputable I believe looked into it when I was about 20), based on the amount of money for the course. That being said, if it is what I believe it is he will be gone most part of the year as it is a year course (4 semesters throughout South Africa) and thus not a viable life partner, working those ships not a viable life partner. Sounds like somebody is going to be out 90k.

Think Bastion is good a creating a good image.

The feedback I got from young guys that actually did the courses it is not as great as it is made up to be; especially the firearms training. Their firearms are old and not well maintained leading to a lots of lost range time.

All you basically have at the end of the course is normal competency, business competency and basic PSIRA grading; all of which can be done for a fraction of the price from other providers and only jobs open to you are the normal security/CIT type work.
