When you give an employer permission to deposit your pay, they can also debit your account as well. A lot of people learned this the hard way when companies folded or contracts got cancelled.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Lol such bullshit, no they can't. The signer on the account must authorize the withdrawal. The employer can't just take money out without authorization.

If your bank allowed that, you could sue the shit out of them.

Do companies even consider POG's for security work? I was on post most of my time in afghan, have zero firefights tho. I have no interest in non security work.

I'm hearing different things from people. One guy I squadded with at a match recently said Triple Canopy wont even give you a glock. I asked a mod here who knows me and he said"you can't be any worse then the current guys working."

Shooting skill and marksmanship have little to do with contracting, other than being able to pass the weapon tests. IMHO it is not as important as your experience under fire. That is why most companies prefer to have someone with experience overseas, though it is possible to to get a job without it.

I can train someone to be a better shooter, but it is harder to train them to be a better fighter.

Well how do they actually vet people? CAR/CABs isnt exactly a mark of the warrior.
