This is a new addition to Jundism, and I wanted to back this precept up with plenty of historical reference. From Bushido or the Boy Scout Law, to Col. John Boyd and Miyamoto Musashi. As you can see, being thrifty is a concept that needs attention.
     For your personal life, being thrifty means you can […]

   This is one that I recommend for guys working all over the world, both in security and disaster response.  A quick way to know if your shower or bathroom is hot, is to test it with a voltage tick tester.  Shoddy electrical work is not just a problem in Iraq or Afghanistan, this is […]

     The latest rumor floating around is that Cochise Consultancy is looking for guys.  Let me put that rumor to rest and say that they are not hiring. I know a Cochise job is flying on Secure Aspects job board or every once in awhile you see it floating around on the forums, but […]

   This is a cool tool.  I just got it in the mail the other day(no wait and very prompt), and now I get to talk about it.  My overall impression of the tool is high, and it does exactly what I want it to do.  The big one for me was to get a […]

     An excellent little article about the value of the clearance.  It’s cool to see salaries starting to edge up a little in Afghanistan as well, and it is about time.  All of this just emphasizes that if you can get any job you can that will sponsor you for a clearance, do it.(thats […]

     Thanks to Russ for sending me this one. I won’t say much, because I wasn’t there. One thing I will comment on is one aspect of contracting that we really don’t talk about.  What happens when you lose a contract or get terminated and the company refuses to ship you back home? Or […]

      This is not only cool, but it is essential stuff for contracting.  And what I really like about this encrypted flash drive is that it self destructs.  So if you lose it, and someone picks it up and attempts to break into it, it will erase after tampering or ten attempts at a […]

   I was flipping through some military history the other day, and found what I think is another excellent building snowmobiles topic.  What defines the ultimate security contractor out there?  Is it someone who is just really good with a pistol, or someone that drives really well, or what?  Or better yet, what kind of […]
