I too worked for Blackwater. What a trip it was. Seen some crazy shit after my shift was done. To this day I still can’t believe what I was involved in. I’m talking about Blackwater Cafe in Fm, fla. Waitresses were crazy.
I feel like it was such different time back then! The country had just been attack and contractors was considered normal. They were also truck driver contractor people just wanted to help with the war
There were definitely all kinds of contractors supporting different missions in Iraq. I worked with a bunch of civilian mechanics during my first Iraq tour.
Crazy. There's no chance to do this now with a minimum of military experiment? I did a bit of basic training as it is mandatory in my European country. I speak German and English fluent as well as basic French (~A1). Is there a decent chance I can catch one of these attractive contract even the given conditions and current times?
@@teufelhund53ngl dude if you’re doing PMC work in Ukraine, it’s not just the money you want. That is trench warfare, I mean we’re talking about situations where you are shooting people so close that the blood will hit your face. The quality of life is poor and the money is not near as good as even something like embassy security contacting. Only real reason for a PMC to be in Ukraine is for the thrill of taking a life that very few people are able to feel during the act, most military guys will kill and try to bury it deep in their soul, Wagner and even FFL are seriously dangerous guys that will kill as easy as me and you breathe.
@@CZuskia The Wagner Group are criminal Russian mercenaries made up of Neo-Nazis who commit war crimes for Putin so Russia’s Military accepts zero responsibility for their actions, completely unlike Blackwater; who had legitimate and legal security/logistics contracts, Blackwater was held far more accountable, was far more successful and are far more moral in every aspect of their operations, and were even prosecuted for a crime that wasn’t committed, by the US Government.

I’m doing it now in 2022, served in the army for 20 years… seems like the interviewer is already against anyone that does it as if they just aren’t qualified in his mind because maybe he just isn’t capable… didn’t finish the video cause he just annoyed me. Maybe I’m wrong…
I'm not sure how you that got from my questions. I'm as clueless as anyone else when it comes to it because it's not something I, or most of my audience, has ever done. Hope you enjoyed some of the other interviews!
@Leon Hogan It's good money... but not what the movies make it out to be... you will not be doing the stuff the regiment lets you do. It's very political. I don't recommend it to real patriots. But if you need money, the money is there. So much red tape that most people can't do it past 3 years... just have an exit plan going in. And have a skill more than just shooting. Make yourself valuable while your in.

What baffles me is that even if the company made all the screening necessary for the security clearance some scumbags slipped through the cracks.

Awesome broski can you get me in? I did basic mandatory military draft training in Europe (Austria)

Watch Ryan Reynolds buried
Bad Credit stops security clearance? Can anyone tell me why?
It mostly has to do with how much debt you have. The government doesn't want you to be susceptible to bribes.
@@FormerActionGuys that makes sense

Head to Ukraine for mercenary work. Plenty opportunity

Yeah, my comment was dry sarcasm. I wasn't serious. I mean it's true, but it would very likely be a horrific and dangerous commitment.
This some shit that Andy Ryle would try
What are the requirements now
Blackwater is no longer working
Blackwater turned into Academi, but the company no longer exists. I'm unsure if there is anything truly like it anymore.
Special Operations - SWAT background Army-Marine Infantry background
Eligible for Security Clearance
Constellis
Triple Canopy
Clayton International
@@Nepomniachtchi_Austin There are still companies like Blackwater. Wagner Group is one of the most notorious and closest to Blackwater.

Blackwater disbanded 2014

Hope it's worth it!
Is blackwater commimg back?
It is still around.
It just changed names multiple times.
It's called Academi now, part of Constellis, a conglomerate that owns several other companies including Triple Canopy and Olive Group.
What if I have no law enforcement or military training or security training how do I join. I can't join the army because I can't pass the asfab
You can't.
That's it
