I have several friends working for DynCorp, Halli, and Blackwater. CRAZY!!!!!!!! but they like it. Most are single with no kids, I would find it hard to be away from my fam for that long.
They have to say that. In all reality you can say you were a cop at so and so for 10 years blah blah blah. As long as you can show some towel head how to point, shoot, and then ask questions you're considered highly trained. How the fuck do you think Chicago cops are hired??? As long as you don't have drool coming out of the side of your mouth during the psyche interview, or studder too bad you're in like Flint. Also, it helps if you refrain from telling racial jokes, but I don't know that it's true for Afghanistan. Besides I'm sure these people have heard every towel head joke there is by now.
