[VIP BG]

Thought i would throw a cat amongst the pigeons!!

What do you reckon to the royal military Police close protection unit down in Longmoor, these boys are well known in the circuit but are they really that good?

thoughts please?

If your in the circuit how does this type of CP background change your perception?

Having Cpu instructor on my CV got me a reply within 10 mins after applying for a job. This then led to an interview and gaining the job.

Although not a security company and or a CP role they were aware of Cpu and its reputation and I believe it definatley helped. I doubt it was the only reason why I got the job but it definatley made my CV stand out from the rest. I have found from reading quite a few CVs since leaving people are selling their skills short and submitting poor quality CVs.

Going of subject here but..... remember if you are ex Rmp you can offer considerably more to a company with regard to the skills and experiences gained during GPD. Its how you evidence these skills and subsequently put them down on paper that counts.

With regards to Prima Donas.......... I could not possibly comment ! ! ! ;-)

I think you need to look at the CP job market and look at the requirements. Majority request SF or Rmp CP experience.
Having RMP CP trained on my cv led to me being called forward for a lot of interviews so obviously some people rate us!
Having said that, in any large group you will get 'PRIMADONNAS', waltermityy's etc.

To be honest i think the reason people ask for SF Rmp etc is to make sure they arnt hiring some joe blow who has just spent ex amount of pounds and got himself a sia badge.
By the way have worked with rmp guys and they are all prima donnas
ha ha only joking guys ,
never met a badun yet .

Well as a member of the "original" CP bods, way back when some were just a twinkle, yes there are and were some prima donnas, A..n C..y for a start, but in the main the guys are level headed, intelligent well some anyway and and have common sense. Personally not been involved in CP aince Ch.ck Ha...ng passed away, but always interested in what the youngsters are doing. Anybody come across K...y Ro...s in stan, he must be the oldest CP guy in the business, he was one of my Cpls in NI in 1980!!!!!!!!!

I was an instructor at Longmoor for 3 years as well as going through there at least 5 times on Pre Deployment Training prior to operational tours. Whilst i wouldn't use the term "primadonna', I would not say that all the guys going through Longmoor are as good as they would have you believe. I also worked on the Raymond project in Baghdad for quite a while, which had 30 Longmoor trained guys at any one time, again, some of these blokes were basically stealing their wages. That team was probably the strongest team that Longmoor (n)ever fielded, but there were elements in there that were just being carried along.
I have also had to work with a few Longmoor Instructors who were quite crap. All that being said, the good blokes who go through Longmoor, as well as some of the instructors, are probably the sort of guys that you could put in any unit, in any situation, in any theatre in the world and they would shine. There are probably blokes like these in every unit in the British Army/Marines.
I could go on for ages about this, but I will wait for some feedback.

Vip BG why do you ask this question about Rmp CP Longmoor when in another thread you state you are RMP CP trained ??

[VIP BG]

You are quite right CPO 445.

Good observation mucker you should of transfered to the monkeys..............you would of be head and shoulders above the rest of us LOL.

Yes mucker and before you think im a walter which i kind of think you might be hinting at; i am Rmp CP trained down at Longmoor.

Just starting a wee debate buddy thats all. Thats what this forum is about i suppose and also getting a feel for who else is floating around in this forum.

Whats your thoughts on the RMP CP trained thing?

Theres certainly plenty of RMP CP in the high risk areas but is there as much in the 'Journalist'/media CP industry? Ive read alse where that you've also moved in those circles.

Cheers CM
