That doesn't seem like that bad of a job actually...
If you make something idiot proof, someone will make a better idiot... Forget youth, what we need is a fountain of smart.

Seems like a damned fine job... Where do I sign up?Originally Posted by spyder
My thoughts exactly. Get paid to hang around out at sea, bed and meals included, occasional target practice with moving targets... sign me up!
I realize my OP might seem a little negative towards PMCs. Its not. In fact, I've always figured its probably what I'd end up doing after I'm done with the military, if I don't have a family by then.
Hell...I'd go try it once. I just don't believe in warning shots. Pirates piss me off.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

It's the open sea in which there are no laws... "Pirates, if you play stupid games, you will win stupid prizes". That about sums up how I feel about it.

If you play stupid pirate games, you win 168 grains.

There was an article in America's First Freedom about armed crews on ships. Good read.

Yeah but with the seas:
A warning shot has been fored sir,,, OOPs guess that wave caused that...
Sign me up... I got offered a job by one of the PMCs in Afghanistan, didn't take it because I didn't want to get killed by a nameless, faceless enemy, but here, I'd jump on that. "Garr we be hijacking yer ship!" "I don't think so... BOOM!"
Also, saw a thing that a lot of shipping companies are installing LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Devices) on their ships, emitting over 750+dB.
