Bodyguards

[Chewbacca]

Anyone here have a bodyguard or security detail? Seriously.

My friend was just assigned one as he does some contract work for another country. Apparently it’s quite common and I won’t mention where he’s assigned.

No but I see them around sometimes. Corporations, governments, and private individuals all hire them, and it’s becoming more common as the world becomes more dangerous. All the families I know with such details did not have them 10 years ago.

As I read more on it I’m not surprised.

Don't be shy, Chewy - we all know it's Canada. Incredibly dangerous up in those parts...

They cost an arm and a leg….!

He might need a butler more than a body guard up here Jesse

When I used to do business in Mexico I did, along with ransom insurance taken out on my life.

My neighbor arranges such things for various destinations, especially the 'more challenging' ones. You need a price?

I and some friends have hired such help for our all-out weekends away in the sin city or in places where we could get in trouble like Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Poor guys were babysitting us in the clubs and parties. The best thing we did it turned out.

Ha! I’m comfy in my spring chalet panic room.

Given today's market anyone with a half way decent watch needs a bodyguard....

Nicholas - hired "help" in Las Vegas until the wee hours of the night...only one thing comes to mind there.

Don't worry, we won't tell any of the wives.

We used to be assigned one to and from Manila to an undisclosed location. For Sr. leadership, it was like a motorcade.

I could go for some poutine right now

[donas]

Have one? No. I did go through quite a bit of training to become certified to be one though, lol. I thought that is what my future held post Marine days, it lost it's luster, so to speak, the more thought I gave it.

Hummm? All the contractors I know wear hard hats, fluorescent safety vests, safety glasses and steel toe boots. No Bodyguards...

O...m...g what a circus!

[George58]

When I retired was PP for owner of a car co.blue oval Not so much bodyguard but someone the target could trust to handle things the target would not be want mixed up in.

I know that this is in the open discussion Chewie but is this the best you can come up with in your rambling threads?

Entertain me?

[Sperry]

There is a certain family meeting coming up at which particular siblings may ask me to share.

After I tell them that sharing is something you do with your bag lunch on a school field trip, that they're outright asking me to give them my property, I may want a bodyguard. Where do I run the ad?

ISO: Beautiful intelligent witty female bodyguard nearing a certain age to role-play "long-term girlfriend" at family gatherings. Must be expert in hand-to-hand combat, proficient in the use of Tasers, flash-bangs, smoke grenades. Masters or Doctorate in psychology a plus.

HAHA, get your mind out of there!

[mountainjogger]

I've heard rumors that some of the moderators moonlight as bodyguards.

Interesting idea. Generally if I expect to travel someplace that would require protection, I don't go. Of course, if it's part of your job then you don't have much choice.

I remember back when the USSR fell apart and business in Russia opened up, my former boss was stationed there for a while, and they all had armed (as in automatic rifles) escorts everywhere.

Awww man, c'mon now, imagine Chewebcca you can go to exotic places, meet new foreign people, and perhaps hunt down.... You could even be handsomely paid by the world's leading....

It's a business. My neighbor would be happy to help arrange things for you.
