This is a great show on the protective details of the rich. Have you ever wondered who protects guys like Warren Buffet?
In the video they identified Clark International as the folks that Mr. Buffet uses. Pretty cool, and if the Oracle of Omaha chose them, then they must have the juice. Buffet is the king of finding quality companies and investing in them for the long haul. According to the video, Buffet has used Clark International for several decades now. –Matt
This is a treat. I stumbled upon this blog recently and it is filled with tons of jobs that the author has found over the last year or so. It is a basic blog format and it has RSS and a Feedburner subscription. So you have those two options for getting the latest scoop on jobs.
Also, as a service to the readership here, I have made a widget out of this blog and you can find it with the other widgets below and to the right. This will be an excellent addition to FJ and be sure to check in on it from time to time.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that authors of sites like this put in a lot of effort to collect this information and post it for all to read. Be sure to reward them by either thanking them in the comments section, forwarding their blog link to friends or on Facebook, or by clicking on their Adsense ads. All of these are an excellent way to show your appreciation, and especially if you got one of those nice paying jobs they posted. –Matt

Check it out. You can get credits with Bucks New University, some excellent close protection training, and the SIA license–and all in the US. This is a great opportunity for those guys in the US that wanted to get this license via a course like this.
The other thing to mention though is that I have no clue if the SIA program will be around much longer? My guess is that it will stick around for a bit, and the license will still continue to be required by companies in Europe or in the war zones. A big hat tip to Steven Collins and his crew over at BIS for getting the word out on this. –Matt
