So here it is. I posted the story recently that CSS Alliance/Global just picked up a contract in Somalia for protection work, and I am speculating that these are the job announcements for said contract. Of course they do not mention Somalia in the ad, but I should note that these were not flying when I posted the story. Hmmm?
Either way, go to their website and throw in an application. You never know, and if you do end up in Somalia, good luck and let us know how it goes. By the way, I am not the POC or recruiter for this, so do not send me your resume. –Matt
