Default government contractor jobs??

I have been out of the military for some time. Well since 08AUG08. i have applied at several contractor jobs.... black water, triple canopy, kbr, ect.....
so does anyone know somebody looking for Infantry? possibly PSD... i was a E-5 when I got out. have a few schools under my belt but nothing crazy. I have no problem deploying back over seas. In fact as soon as we got back in '06 i tried to go back 3 months after being home. but they said some bs about stabilization yada yada.

So if someone can pass along the good word to myself and maybe a boss of theirs Thatd be great.

i'd rather go over as a civilian the having to join back up again (which im in the process of doing now)

Also, for those with a military background such as myself, google secure aspect group and check out the job classified section for WPPS jobs. There are hundreds for PSD etc. I already have a fully paid account id be willing to let my brother in arms use to view full job postings

My friend did that but he said his company was BS. They didn't have some weapons permits and they were stuck fighting pirates that had full auto AKs and RPGs with their bolt action 5 round mag winchester. Try hitting a pirate at 500 yds with both boats bobbing up and down.

Yes. Any prior law enforcement can get on WPPS missions. Now with the maritime anti piracy, you have to be prior special forces, swat/law enforcement, or military(5+ years) THeres hundreds of contracting jobs that arent combat related though. Theres business, construction,etc etc the list goes on and on.

If it helps try Border Patrol, Right now there is our S.O.G. teams that are looking for applicants. I am not sure if they are hiring at the time but come October start of fiscal year they will be accepting applications.

Most of the border patrol teams require you to speak spanish just fyi. I also contract for black water which is a great company but due to family I will be moving to a job with the va in okc soon. For those wanting in with black water just keep trying and be sure you have the skills they require.
