Mark,
What you say has some sense I know, but if you have no military experience then keep well away from the pit or Afgan.
If people just want to go there so that they have it on their CV they are more of a threat than the baddies that are out there.
Unless you are doing your weapon drills day in day out you will forget things that are important to you and your work buddies.
My advice to you in a friendly way is to forget the firearms part and concentrate on working in the UK without one.
Once you start working look to what other skills that you can offer to a client or the rest of your team.
Look at maybe doing your advanced driving course or aim for the ROSPA Gold standard for driving, I am not saying that you will end up as a driver but you will be an asset with it.
I am all for new guys coming into the industry as we all had to start somewhere and natural wasteage allows for this, but I just wish some of the Training companies out there would tell the bloody truth to students instead of promising them the earth.
If anyone out there can put light on when an armed CP not PSD team has ever managed to stop a principle from being shot once the assailants weapon has been drawn please let us know. If you go back in History of CP or armed security it must be a long way in the past. Take Abe Lincon for one.
