Hi Gals

Am contemplating hard about becoming a CPO, any advice? Where did you train? Were you military or civvy? Its doing my head in....! So many companies that say they are the best! Been to Nemesis open day, pretty good, and have been in contact with Ronin concepts in Hereford...anyone do their training with either of these companies? Let me know, I'd be grateful for any advice...

I agree with your post Annie! There were four soldiers who died on that unfortunate day, just as many have fallen before them doing their job, and a fine one at that.

A fuss is being made about it, which the female soldier I expect would not have wanted, she was doing her job, and working alongside her collegues.

Lets not forget all of those soldiers, and private operators (male and female, who often get forgotten) who have fallen before them, both men and women not just particulalry in this war but the previous ones too, or all the work that they have achieved, sadly loosing their lives in the process.

Unforutantely its the way the media cover the news, they always have the ability to make exagerate and blow things out of proportion. If it is a way to make them some money then they will run the story.

Annie,

I agree. If we want equality them that should apply to those sodiers killed in action. You can understand why many men don't want women in the front line when they are treated diffeently.

thanks for saying what many are thinking

Hi All
Was just wondering if you could help me, I am trying to find some work and generally get my foot on the ladder for some experience. Could anyone give me any advice please?
Thanks

Hi Dawn, just wondering how you are getting on after seeing your post, I am not on here often but find myself on an assignment with a bit of time to catch up with things, one includes reading up on what is happening on the out side world!!

I will presume that you have your CP licence and I will give you the same advise that I have given other trainees who have come through the system. The industry is sturated with operatives since licensing was introduced so there are more people than assignments therefore take the opportunities to do event work which will be plentiful at this time of year, don't stick your nose in the air at the idea, they are great for networking, refreshing soft core skills and keeping active. Whilst it is not always the best paid option it helps to build your experience and CV content. I have made some great contacts over the years through AGM's and events plus, I have been given many opportunities to work with some very good teams.

It doesn't happen over night, but stick with it gal and it will come. Maybe put another post up stating specifically what you are experience in, and looking for, maybe go along to the forum meeting in November and get your face known. If you want to know anything specific please send me a message and I will help if I can.

Good luck
