Re: EOD in the Private Sector.
Good advice. One of the best quals, which is quick to get, is to get PRINCE2 Project Management qualified. More chance of being a Project Manager then (= more dosh and less blowing things up). Originally Posted by "rickshaw-major

Anybody who needs any pointers I can get some hyperlinks etc so give me a pm.
R-M is correct, in that there will be growing opportunities for wider AT/ATO related work in the international commnity. Ammunition management and safety, demil, heavy weapons destruction, SALW Control, explosive legislation, UN Sanctions team weapons 'experts', CMD training, accident investigations etc etc. R-M and I have been involved in all of these over last x years.
Very little stand alone IEDD / Weapons Int work unless you go and work for HMS, ISSEE etc.
Also happy to help with links and contacts - just PM me."We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

1. Nobody has yet been forced to go on Ops. Yes, individuals have been mobilised, but this is to protect them legally, and has been arranged by request and negociation...
2. IF we ever get to the point of compulsory mobilisation you are in the frame anyway (look at the small print - somewere after the bit about "Reserve Commitment"..). Frankly if this did happen, you are better to be on the inside of the loop and able to influence things, than on the outside...
3. Frankly in some of the places we go, do you REALLY want to go in as a civvie? (and the money ain't that bad)
We are also well placed to allow individuals to keep in touch with the trade (now the centre of gravity is moving from G to K). We seem to run quite a nice little in house employment agency...
Not bad for a fortnights paid holiday and a couple of weekends in the school telling war stories!
Still, your choice of course...Charisma: The ability to convince without the use of Logic.
