thousands of guys operating worldwide with as much or more training than I have

Okay. Let's say there are 2,000 HARDCORP's...(actually I bet it's closer to 400-600, worldwide)...

There are around 6,000 astrophysicists in the world, which means they literally number one in a million...

So...for every three million people...there is one HARDCORP.

Now, you can tell me that you are not extraordinary, and I do believe that that state of mind is a psychological requirement of your job, but you cannot tell me that the percentage of similar human skillsets you represent (0.000000333)equates to an average person...

Damn, I know I should have paid attention in school

okayif you say so spirit

Seriously want a description of the job or have a question See page 2

It really depends on the contract and who you're working for not going to air the industrious dirty laundry. But let's say your a company and you're willing to pay some Third World thugs $250 or $500 a day you're going to get what you pay for. I can guarantee you that you're not going to get a tier 1 level operator US-born British, German, or even Australian to gear up for anything less than $750 a day plus plus. The company I work for has various types of contracts. Short-term long-term and intermediate let's say, you signed a long contract with limited worldwide operational clause that requires you to do two months duty outside the country, with optional first mission turndown clause. You make around $96,000, if you don't deploy. But for those who do deployed rap your mind around this. It's $1000 a day with some free amenities include. So for that required 8-week deployment yields $56,000 for a grand total of the year. Base salary of $156,000 technically tax-free. I give you another example Dyno corps currently has a contract to train Iraqi police officers. I have an acquaintance with 20 years, law enforcement experience, who his been working for Dyno corp for three years and is deployed for 10 months at a time, who earns $356,000 a year more than a $1000 a day tax free.
To give you a clue BW has been paid more money this year than the United States paid to fight the first Gulf War the contract with the Department of State, alone is worth $800 million make no mistake, there is a hell of a lot of money in these deals, and if you've got the right skill set and not just Joe blow off the street. You can make some serious money but yes, there are individuals who are just cannon fodder, who have no skills, and just want to say they've been there making about 250 a day. And there are those from second and third world country operators with limited skills were willing to work for that are sometimes less but to give you an example of how much money a tier 1 level operator can make. I suggest you ask Tim Peet, what the reenlistment bonus is for US special forces nowadays. It's more than $50,000 just to re-up, guys are finally getting paid what they're worth. Because of the PMC market

There are a lot of reasons to do this type of work and for most individuals its not the Almighty dollar. I would say it only makes up about 30 to 40% of the rationale behind being there

Classic you don't have to take my word about the money. You can watch this bullshT video all the way through or move it up to the9 minute mark and watch the part about the South American contractors.. this guy is our worst proponent. He hates the whole industry with a passion and a simple explanation here the truth isThe individuals whom he is referring to were hired as subcontractors and if you notice, even out of his own mouth. He says the Bulgarians clued in the Colombians , but I will add the Chileans were getting the
worst end of the deal. But hell, he's selling a book, who cares about getting the facts right but he's got the part about the money down pat

The day the Hardcorps of this world decide to kill us is the day I will not bother getting up out of bed

I seriously do not think they get paid enough!!!.....
A simple self employed tradie (plumber for instance like me) gets 100.000 to 150,000 per annually doing their own work with some contract jobs too fill in , working 20-60 min from home max and sleeping in there own bed each night with their misses safe and warm .......and no risk of being blown away ...

These guys deserve what ever they get and more !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done corps ..............my hat is off to you guys ...
