>I'd like to know what you guys know and think of bodyguards and bodyguarding as a profession.

they get cool perks and benefits from the people they protect.

>I'm interested in /k/ things but it's hard to find any classes or courses that are open to the general public around these parts. Of the few that aren't exclusively for military/police, many are restricted to licensed bodyguards. So, I'm thinking of taking the classes and getting certified so I can attend them, and maybe I'd like to work in this area.

being a private sector bodyguard is different than a government bodyguard. the latter being way cooler.

>Are there any bodyguards here? I'm relatively fit but I have bad knees that hurt if I run or cycle, would that prevent me from being able to to the job? Any interesting stories or trade secrets related to executive protection?

they aren't so much classes in a traditional sense, more like supplemental training. easier to get into that type of bodyguarding if you're in law enforcement for x years and having y amount of experience. how the fuck do you have bad knees? and do these "bad knees" compromise your ability to run/fight? no one is going to want you (only after you're in the job +seniority) if your physical body is at a disability.

Can anyone provide any examples of bodyguards fending off an attack more serious than a lunatic charging the primary with a weapon? Even something as simple as the Anwar Sadat assassination seems like it would be almost impossible for bodyguards alone to foil. How would you go about protecting a primary from an opponent who just says "fuck it" and sends a couple of fire teams to do the job?

Hope your fireteams on standby can respond before the other side greases the VIP.

I work in security, you just stand around outside their house or wherever for hours on end, in this country you don't even get a gun(pistols can only be carried by security protecting property like cash vans yet their firearms can only be used to protect people).

Pretty much this only we get guns.

Be prepared to deal with uptight, selfish cunts who see you as their personal servant and make sure you've enough self restraint not to take out the VIP yourself.

Most of the time though you're just smoking and/or joking.

I got denied a job at a PPC company because I finished high school. They pretty much just want very young guys who are physically fit and not intelligent.
