I
left the Army in October 2012 after 22 years; my resettlement had been aimed at a career in surveillance. I had
already used my Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) to pass my qualification in Surveillance and was actively looking
for a career in this line of work. I spoke to numerous other Surveillance operators, about how to get a “foot on
the ladder”they all advised me to get my SIA licence, but none of them told me which one to get. So I decided that
with the money I had saved and my ELC, I would go for the best qualification I could and, having looked through
numerous magazines and online (and again spoke to friends and friends of friends), I decided on the Ronin Concepts
Course held in Hereford.
The course consisted of four weeks, with a mixture of First Person on Scene Casualty Treatment, Executive
and Hostile Environment Training and culminated in a week of full bore live firing in Poland, on various weapons
(AK47, MP5, Glock 15/17).
4

As soon as the course was finished I set about on my C.V.,
transferring all my military skills in to “civvy-speak”. I sent it to
all the companies I could find, and spent about 2-3 hours a day
scouring the internet looking for opportunities. I joined several
websites: Close Protection World, Close Protection Forum and
sites on Facebook, Ex-forces Jobs and others. After a couple of
months I received a message on Facebook from an Army friend,
asking if I was still looking for a job as a PMC - the answer was
of course “Yes” and, after what seemed like a lifetime, I was
given my flight details and was off.
I arrived in Afghanistan in April of 2013. I was issued
with my kit, personal weapons and given training that would
be specific to my job whilst in theatre, including drills in the
compound if we are attacked, weapon handling tests and orientation
to our B6 armoured vehicle. We don’t have to wear a set
uniform, however most of the guys wear similar t-shirts; it just
looks smarter and more professional (in my opinion).
“Now the bit that we all do this job for… The
money!!! The jobs that pay the big bucks are
few and far between; unless you’re some sort
of ninja warrior that is impervious to bombs or
bullets you will get a basic wage like everybody!”
Our routine changes from day to day, some days we could
be out on a job for just a few hours, other times we could be
out all day. We could go to multiple places throughout the day
or stay in one place all hours and always, route selection is
key! You may have to go to the same place three or four days
on the trot, varying your route and passing information about
these routes to other teams on the project. The vehicle has to be
cleaned and ready to go at the drop of a hat – not forgetting to
check the fluids on a daily basis (just like being in the Forces).
“I’ve been here a year now and no two
days are the same. For me every day is a
learning day.”
Yes, the wage could be higher than what you might earn
doing an executive gig in London or Prague - and I emphasize
the word “might” in that sentence. The fact is everybody
wants to make a profit and a big profit at that… Your client
does and the company you work for does! So if your client
is cutting back to save money (and make a big profit), the
chances are your employer is still going to want to make a
profit, so they either cut back on the number of people they
employ or cut down on the amount they pay you. If they cut
down the number of people they employ, they may not be able
to fulfil the contract. So the best option is to cut your wages
and if you are sitting there thinking they could lose most or
all the CP guys and they wouldn’t do it, believe me there are
plenty waiting in the wings to fill your place for less money.
I honestly believe if you’re sat there thinking “I’m not going
to work for anything less than X amount”, or that you really
are that ninja warrior impervious to bombs and bullets, you’re
never going to get a job in this industry. The companies out
there are picking and choosing the best of the best and if you
want those big bucks, what makes you so good?
I’ve been here a year now and no two days are the
same. For me every day is a learning day. Has it been what
I expected? There have been good days and bad days but it
has been far better than I expected, so much so that I actually
look forward to coming back here after every rotation.
The training I received helped start me off with a base level
and, with regular training by my employers, this has improved
to counter the ever-changing threat. You have to be polite and
respectful to the clients; opening the doors for them, making
sure they understand any upscale in the threat level because, if
the client is happy, your Project Manager (PM) is happy!
Now the bit that we all do this job for… The money!!!
The jobs that pay the big bucks are few and far between; unless
you’re some sort of ninja warrior that is impervious to bombs
or bullets you will get a basic wage like everybody!

I
I have been in this line of CP for just under 3
years and it has changed drastically over this
time, from the qualifications needed to how the
money has dropped.
To gain employment in this field now you will
need to spend at least £3,000 - £4,000 on courses,
most of which are of very little use to us as CP
Workers. An STCW 95 (Standards of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping) is needed. It’s a
week-long course that covers (among other things)
fire-fighting on ships, some kind of medical training
(but this is always a bonus), a weapons course, SSO
(Ships Security Officer), PFSO (Port Facility Security
Officer) - although only some companies
want this - plus power boat courses and then any
company training courses that they nail you for.
These are the very basic courses you will need.
The money was good when I jumped from
the pit to maritime but now all the contracts are
being cut to the bone and you only get paid when
weapons are on board, so with some companies
this means no money for the first few days on
ship, depending on the transit.
6

Most companies have cut travel costs and some now
pay nothing until weapons are in your hands, plus a
“back-to-back” system is being used more now. This is
when you get from one ship to another but get dropped
on a “holding ship” for anything up to 1- 6 weeks - on a
huge pay drop (usually only about $100 a day) and they
are cramped, dirty and with very basic living conditions.
The job side of it is very varied, from excellent ships
to Chinese and Indian-run ships that are very basic all
the way from the food to the cleanliness.
you have to advise, who sleep when they
want - on or off stag - and you have no
control of this and are told you are only
there because of “insurance criteria”.
To top all this, the holding ships are a big question
mark. Lads have been arrested whilst on these
ships and are awaiting trial in India. The companies
tell you it’s legal but I take this with a pinch of salt.
Maritime in the beginning was fantastic but in
the last few years many companies have sprung
up and have tendered for contracts. Piracy has
dropped and a mass of people are looking to get
in. All this has caused a huge drop in money; you
can still earn a decent wage but be prepared for
the goal posts to change.
In the last 12 months Nigeria has come into play. My
last job was Nigeria and it was a nightmare… 1 Brit TL and
a Nigerian team - and they have weapons, while you don’t!
A six week job seemed like a year! It’s hard due
to visas, corruption (from the minute you land
to the minute you leave) and a very slack team
Yet the biggest risk is the lack of procedures
in place for the lads when cross decking
and the fitness of some of the lads. I have
seen some lads who can’t, or struggle
with ladders when cross decking from the
launch to large vessels, sometimes tankers
that are empty and high in the water.
Maritime? It’s just a myth!

I
first encountered the Jalahbad Road in 2009 on
my first CP roll in Afghanistan and although I had
seen it on some documentaries, I had never seen in
the flesh before. If it was like the roads in Iraq and
from the stories I had heard, I was in for a treat!
Some say it’s the most dangerous road in
the world and I was about to travel down it from
the airport to the camp I would be staying on. At
first it looked like any other road in every other
hostile country I had travelled in. There were cars
travelling close to us (which I had not been used
to before) and the driving skills are some of the
worst I have ever come across. Thankfully it was
only about 2 km until we were safe within the
compound.
The Jalahbad Road is getting better and the police
are getting better out at the check points; but they
cannot check every car so it’s only a matter of time
before something gets through. I have travelled down
this road for years now and only see the devastation
of what’s been left behind after an attack - things get
back to normal straight away out here.
This road will continue to be the main route in
to Karbul City for insurgents and no matter what
happens in the near future regarding the security of
the country the Jabad road will always be a source
for trouble.
The Jalahbad Road, as it is known, extends
from Jalahbad in the East, through to Kabul. This
is the main supply route into the capital from
Pakistan, so there are hundreds of trucks using this
route to bring food and supplies in to the country.
In fact just about everything that is used comes this
way, with it being a landlocked country.
The part of the road that’s used
within the city starts not too far away
from Polosarki Prison, one of the
most dangerous prisons in the world
and one that has been attacked by
the Taliban to get people out - but
not anymore, not with 50 cals in the
towers.
The road travels into the city before forking
off at a roundabout; you have to circumnavigate a
few check points along the way but for the city part
its mostly tarmac. With it being the main supply
route it’s also the main entry point for the Taliban,
with layup points just outside the city were they
have their last night before travelling in the next
morning and creating havoc.

e’ve seen PenCott camo
patterns in these pages before,
and this month Lawrence
Holsworth tells us
about the British company
behind them
“The PenCott pattern
went through several hundred
iterations, trialling more
than two dozen samples in
natural environments”
Hyde Definition was founded in 2008 by Dominic
Hyde. Today it is the only British company operating internationally
designing camouflage patterns.
Besides the successful PenCott family
of patterns, Dominic has designed
over 2,000 camouflage patterns for
clothing and gear, vehicles, aircraft,
watercraft, buildings and structures.
The PenCott family includes GreenZone for verdant terrain,
Badlands for semi-arid terrain, Sandstorm for arid terrain,
and Snowdrift for snowy winter landscapes. A pattern
for operations in low-light urban terrain called Metropolis
is also in the pipeline.
PenCott patterns are now in use with
a growing number of police tactical
teams, military special operations
forces and civilian enthusiasts.
The original PenCott pattern for verdant terrain, Green-
Zone, was first trial-launched on a very limited scale in the
UK in late 2009. But it wasn’t until summer 2010 that the
company found Duro Industries, a fabric printer that could
help it take the pattern to full-scale production across a
wide range of clothing and gear fabrics. All of the PenCott
patterns are printed at Duro’s facilities in Fall River, Massachusetts.

Early days
PenCott is named after two influential WWII British camouflage
experts, Sir Roland Penrose and Hugh Cott. Penrose
and Cott differed radically in their approach toward camouflage;
Penrose, an artist, used his training and design talents
to produce ‘artistic’ camouflage schemes through a process of
trial and error. Cott, on the other hand, felt that camouflage was
essentially a scientific process, and effective schemes could be
developed without the need for artistic training by studying
examples of camouflage in nature.
Camouflage prevents the observer detecting or recognising
the wearer – and a split-second reduction in detection
can quite literally mean the difference between life and
death. Hyde Definition aims to provide the most effective
multi-environment camouflage schemes possible.
Back in 2005 Dominic reached the conclusion that there
were serious problems with existing camouflage patterns:
• Woodland camouflage schemes were too dark for
all other types of terrain or environments (and
even many woodland environments)
• Desert camouflage schemes are often just a hastily
recoloured version of a woodland scheme,
and often a sub-standard match for many types of
desert
• Universal and ‘all-terrain’ camouflage schemes
are often such a compromise that they are ineffective
in many environments
• Mismatched patterns on clothing and individual
equipment
• Many new ‘pixelated’ camouflage patterns are
simply following a fashion trend and not wellresearched
or terrain-matched
Dominic set about re-examining the problem with
an innovative design, rather than an imitative approach.
Hyde Definition looked at the challenges of concealment
from many different angles: natural camouflage of living
creatures, recent design and market trends, and a look back
at effective historical patterns to identify key features and
elements that work particularly well.
Painstaking process
The PenCott pattern went through several hundred
iterations, trialling more than two dozen samples in natu-
12

al environments. Creating an entirely new and effective
concealment pattern from scratch was a painstaking task.
What came out of this entirely independent and
self-funded research was a ground-breaking, naturallooking,
hybrid digital pattern. It uses a complex
mixture of blending and disrupting techniques to
more effectively conceal the wearer. The resulting
PenCott Multi-Environment Camouflage pattern
family shares common fractal-based, multi-scalar
pattern geometry with separate, colour-optimised
environmental variations.
The benefits of PenCott can be simply stated as:
• It conceals more effectively at all typical engagement
distances
• It conceals more effectively at much closer
distances than other patterns
• It conceals more effectively in multiple environments
and terrains
• It looks far more ‘natural’ than other pixilated
digital patterns
PenCott patterns have been successfully tested and
proven by users in the UK, US, Canada, Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia and New Zealand. They are also in
use with a growing number of special law enforcement
teams in Europe, North America, South America and
Asia. It has even been reported that some US and Coalition
Special Forces units have been using the Badlands
variant in Afghanistan.
Where to get it
There are now many manufacturers of tactical
clothing and kit that have added PenCott to their range.
Many of these manufacturers deal direct with special
operations forces so their choice of the PenCott patterns
makes a statement in itself.
You can find a list of gear and clothing makers
and retailers specialising in PenCott on the Hyde
Definition website.

Applied Orange Performance
Equipment is a
new company to the provision
of high quality outer
garments and specialist
builds. Based in the
Netherlands and formed
in 2012 they now provide
high grade uniforms to Law Enforcement,
Military and Private Sector.
The first product that Applied Orange designed and
manufactured was their ‘Summer Sock’ they are now currently
on Generation 2 of this product after extensive feedback
from users around the world. Ideally suited to hotter
climate conditions the Summer Sock (regular) is supported
by a Winter (sibex) Sock as well.
“The Applied Orange Tan Knee-height sock has its
origins in the construction sector. This is a sector where the
health of feet is of vital importance just like the professional
military and Law-enforcement market. Maximum support
of the feet and ergonomic fit make for the sock to be very
comfortable when worn for longer periods of time. Along
with this there is unique blend of fibres that make up the
value add to buy a premium sock like this one”.
Key Features:
• Knee High.
• Left & Right Feet.
• Coolmax .
• Increased Cordura for durability in the winter
sock to 41%.
• Integrated silver knit for antimicrobal effect.
• Light Weight.
Headwear was the next product that Applied Orange
designed and manufactured. Their short brimmed boonie is
acknowledged as being one of the better ones on the market.
Starting with the primary solid colours they have now expanded
into other patterns including Multicam, Pencott & ATAC’s.

“The FR (fire resistant) Boonie design came to live as
an answer to poor boonie designs available to soldiers here
in the Netherlands. The requirements where: a comfortable
fit without any irritation during prolonged wear, short brim
and as little metal as possible. First concepts were made
in-house and prototypes where to follow from our factory
here in the EU. Late last year we were satisfied with the
design and the first batches made. The final design is based
around lightweight moist wicking FR and Non-FR material.
This keeps the weight down and makes it easily packable
when not worn. We believe it’s one of the most comfortable
boonies out there on the market today.”
Key Features:
• Lightweight fabrics Matching inside mesh
• Excellent moist wicking
• Fast drying
• ITW cordlocks
• 65/35 Polyester/Cotton
• Design Specifications
• Ergonomic fit
• Reinforced elements for prolonged wear
• Maximum cooling due to membrane air vents
• Short brim for optimal audio and visual situational
awareness
The company is currently on its 3rd Generation UBAX
Top available in a wide range of patterns and solid colours.
Key Features:
• Applied Orange have produced the entire garment
out of the ‘TenCate, Defender M’
• They use a Fire resistant thread for all the stitching
throughout this top.
• Both the UBAX Top and FDD Trouser & Jacket
Uniform are all compatible with the D30 Hard
protection Knee & Elbow range.
More recently the Company have added to the by including
the FDD range (Field Duty Design) which includes
a Jacket and trouser Uniform providing complete outer garment
protection. The Head Office also contains a showroom
and they are able to design & manufacture specialist runs.

Imanaged to get some HSGI Taco
pouches for my AK mags rushed out
to me from Tactical Kit, just before I
deployed back out to Afghan after a
good leave.
On first look, the retail packaging
looks cool and when it looks
cool on the packet you can bet
it’s going to look cool on your
plate carrier! I packed them
and they went in the hold of the plane
while I enjoyed a few light ones, courtesy
of Emirates.
Putting the pouches on your rig can be a bit hard
with their new fixing system, which they have called
“MALICE clip”. I had to watch their video to see
how they went on but once mastered, the pouches
were on in no time.
When on you can see they stick out a
bit but, for me this is a good thing and when
going for your mag it’s easy to get a good
grip on them with a full hand and pull out.
The pouches have a polymer insert in them
which, along with the shock tightened right
for the type of mags you have got, makes for
a good clamp around your mag - but not soo
tight that you cannot pull out and slap your
mag on. It also maintains a solid grip when
moving though vehicles and doing drills.
The pouch is made of Cardura and
HSGi has slapped a lifetime warranty on these bad boys. In my
view a very good pouch and one that will not let you down and
better still, will work with different mags if you change Contract.
But then again, as a self-confessed kit tart it will not stop
me buying new mag pouches!!
Fits HK, PMAG, ARC, FAL, AK 30/40, LR20 and M4.

T
rekitt are pleased to announce the
forthcoming arrival of the new
Pilgrim HL (High Leg) boot.
The Pilgrim has received many
excellent reviews and has enjoyed
resounding success over
the past 12 months, with sales
going global and the boots being
selected for use by Special Forces,
regular armed and emergency
services and security personnel.
The new HL version, with a genuine 9” cuff height,
gives the Pilgrim HL wider appeal and improves the
Pilgrim’s deserved reputation as a reliable, stable and
comfortable boot. Trekitt, in Hereford, have exclusivity
for the boot and the Pilgrim HL can be ordered
by visiting www.trekitt.co.uk.
It is available in two models to suit varied conditions
and user requirements.
• Pilgrim HL GTX. Gore-Tex lined for waterproof breathable
performance in temperate conditions available in in Black
and MTP Forest colour
• Pilgrim HL. Non Gore-Tex lined version for the ultimate
breathability in hot conditions available in Desert Beige
colour.
The Pilgrim HL uses the same technology found in the Pilgrim
to produce a stable, secure and highly breathable boot. Stability
is provided by the IMS (Internal Midsole System) which is
designed to reduce the risk of injury and increase safety when
load carrying. IMS uses an anatomically shaped 3D midsole that
mimics the natural foot shape. Normally midsoles are flat and
offer no support to the foot, only dictating the stiffness of the
boot. With an IMS 3D midsole the foot is cradled in a relaxed
position therefore reducing fatigue and minimising slippage.
Above the IMS midsole is a 3mm layer of high density EVA.
This protects the user from loading forces particularly when
carrying heavy packs. It also provides a layer of protective support
for foot rather than it resting on a hard material. Below the
IMS midsole is a thicker layer of 5mm (under the forefoot) and
17mm (under the heel) high density EVA which absorbs impact
20

forces from the ground. IMS 3D anatomical midsoles remove the
need to “upgrade” boots with off the shelf supports and insoles.
Breathability is ensured by the use of AKU’s
Air 8000 fabric, which gives the Pilgrim HL
a technological advantage over “normal”
fabric boots. Air 8000 fabrics have proved
hugely advantageous in the original AKU
Navy Seal and have been used with great
success throughout the Pilgrim range.
A high-wicking lining fabric is laminated to the tough 3D woven
nylon face fabric using net glue. Traditional manufacturing use
a complete layer of glue to stick the lining to the outer, greatly
reducing breathability. Net glue uses small blobs of glue in a
matrix, full of holes like a net, to ensure maximum breath-ability
and structural integrity. The face fabric is a tough 3D woven
nylon constructed with a raised and increased surface area which
providing greater abrasion resistance. The combination of these
technologies allows the Pilgrim HL to breathe 11 times better
than any of its competitors and the Pilgrim HL GTX to have
30% more breathability than conventional Gore-Tex lined boots.
Support and comfort is determined by the “Last”, a mould that
the boot is constructed around. The Pilgrim HL Last has been
designed to work perfectly with the IMS 3D midsole to allow
for a more natural walking motion and to provide a permanent
spring to reduce fatigue over long distances. The internal shape
of the Pilgrim HL has a roomy forefoot for
increased comfort over long term use
and a secure heel profile for increased
heel grip when ascending. The Last itself
remains inside the boot throughout
the production process. This ensures
the size and shape integrity of every
pair made; very few manufacturers use
this process as it is expensive and time
consuming.
The Pilgrim HL retains a low profile and agile design
but thanks to the IMS it has superb impact absorption
and comfort. Traditionally constructed boots put all the
cushioning below the midsole, moving the foot further
from the ground and creating a “numb” or “remote”
sensation. It also creates instability as the large amount of
soft EVA or PU will deform on impact forcing the user to
over-compensate, creating stresses through the lower leg.
IMS places some of the EVA above the midsole reducing
the stand height of the boot, increasing stability and providing
the user with more contact and sensitivity whilst
still offering effective support, cushioning and comfort.
The new higher ankle design allows for full ankle flex
(which is essential when driving or when moving into a
prone/kneeling position) but increases the support to the
lower leg and increases foot stability, particularly when
traversing and contouring slopes or moving over broken
ground. The additional cuff padding also acts to “seal” the
upper of the boot securely and the extra height reduces
the amount of forward foot movement, especially when
descending. Wearers are aware of feeling very much at
one with the boot, adding to the stability and security of
the Pilgrim HL.
Pilgrim HL uses a brand new Vibram sole which, compared
to the original, has increased grip and shock absorption.
The tread design retains the same deep self-cleaning
lugs, positive heel brake for increased traction when
descending and a built in “rocker” to create a natural flex
point. The Pilgrim offers unsurpassed comfort, stability
and support and has earned a reputation as a reliable and
high performance boot. Many users comment on
how well they perform straight from the box
with no breaking in required and no rubbing
or blistering across a wide temperature range
and a variety of terrain.
The new Pilgrim HL carries on this welldeserved
reputation with enhanced support
from the increased ankle height.

BLACKHAWK!® S.T.R.I.K.E.®
CUTAWAY TACTICAL ARMOR CARRIER W/ 3-D MESH
I
Interior Lined 3-D Mesh for cool
com-fortable positive air flow around
your torso as you move.
• Lightweight: only 3.5 lbs; lightest
cutaway available
• Non Slip HawkTex Material on
shoulders for weapon retention
• Secure release strap has a round
handle that is secured inside a protective
band of nylon on the front panel shoulder
• Simple construction that is very easy to
reassemble in under 59 seconds!
• Adjustable waist and shoulder system for
girth and torso length for tailored fit
• Full outer vest area usage for any
S.T.R.I.K.E.®/MOLLE/ Speed Clip
pouch configurations
• Carrier holds all BLACKHAWK!® soft
Level IIIA armour as well as armour plates
(up to 10.5” x 13.25”) on front and back
• Accessories: accommodates Level IIIA,
collar, groin, yoke, side plates and biceps
• Heavy Duty Drag Handle
If you are working in a built up city, say in Kabul and
you are in and out of a vehicle all the time, you will need a
tighter cut plate carrier to enable you to have movement. If
you are say, down in Helmand or southern Iraq, where most
of your time is driving on long MSRs passing convoys, then
you are going to need a bulkier rig that can hold side plates
and all your pouches in accessible places.
The STRIKE cut away is a good rig for the long routes
and you can get plenty of kit attached to it; you can get 4
double M4 pouches on the front plus a 9mm or two, first
aid kit and a dump pouch, while Commanders can get an
admin pouch - and you’ll still have room to hang your pistol
off the front to for driving.
I first used this rig in 2009 in Iraq. You’ll no doubt
have lots of different operations and different theatres that
you work in and where one rig will do for one of them,
it will only hinder you in another. Iraq and PSD is a lot
heavier in the way of what can go wrong and you tend
to go more on the armour side of things. Some roles also
play part in what can go wrong and you tend to go more
on the armour side of things, while other roles play part
to having more rig than less. I will try and explain…

BlueForce Gear
LMAC Armor Carrier
The next rig I used was the Blue Force Gear
LMAC. This is starting to make your rig smaller
and more lightweight and this is good for city work,
especially where you are getting in and out a vehicles
all day and you need to conceal it under a jacket or
fishing jacket. The rig is comfortable and the mag
pouches when empty (if going low profile) don’t bulk
out to much although you would have to make sure
you have got the right plates and soft armour (which
I will talk about at the end of this test).
Here are the specs of the LMAC.
The Lightweight Modu-lar Armor Carrier is
the lightest in class, a full featured armour carrier.
The LMAC can accommodate a full load out or
be stripped down for ultra-lightweight,
low profile operations.
Standard are low profile
shoulder straps that do not interfere
with shouldering weapons,
carrying assault packs, or worn
under civilian outer garments.
Enhanced Shoulder Pad Wraps

are available offering additional padding for increased
comfort with heavier loads or all day comfort. The
“PlatePillow” - a closed cell foam insert at the top of
the carrier on the front to reduce chin and neck injuries
and discomfort for shifting plates.
Also standard are the included 6”x6” side plate
pockets able to hold 6”x6” plates or flat items. The
MOLLE front and back flaps lifts up for attaching the
2” elastic waist strap or LMAC Ten-Speed Side Closures.
The Multicam version has matching Multicam
printed loop fields on the front for ID or IFF patches.
Packaged with the front and rear armour carriers,
2” elastic waist strap, two side 6”x6”plate pockets,
and front and rear MOLLE panels for armour carrier.
5.11 TacTec Plate Carrier
I have not had the chance to use this rig but I
have had lads that have and rated it very well.
It’s seen as a good carrier for everyday use
and it can made to cope with a number of environments,
it’s makeup is properly best suited for South
Afghanistan ( Helmand ) were you roll with a number of
different configurations from day to day dependent on the
mission. Once again this is a solid rig and its lightweight
and slim line. I would have this rig if going out again.
Overview:
• Enhanced comfort and freedom of movemen
• Accommodates medium or large ballistic plate
• Back yoke shoulder pads distribute Adjustable waist
and tensional bands
• Extendable GrabDrag handle for emergency exfiltration
• One-handed quick-release
Specifications:
• Abrasion resistant 500D nylon
• Water-resistant coating
• Oversized airflow panels
• Durable DuraFlex hardware
• Web ID loop
Verdict
Our verdict is that no matter what rig you do go for you
need to take into account what hard plates and soft armour
you will be given when in-country. Most companies supply
you with some kind of armour and where the outer might not
be that good, the armour is. So wait until you are in-country,
see what type you have been given and suit your new rig
around that as some of the rigs we have shown here might
not take the soft armour.
The two we have recommended will be the best bet for
fitting your issued gear in your new rig but take note of where
you’re going, what role you have and the client’s recommendations.
Remember that security companies take insurance
out for you and it covers for the kit they have issued, so using
a different cover with your issued armour should not put your
insurance in jeopardy if something goes wrong.
The plate carriers we have shown are priced very well
and should not break the bank. If you are like me you will
go through 3-4 rigs before you find the right one for you.
Stay Safe!

One of the best bits of kit you can have when you first get a job in
hostile CP is a laptop it is your life line the one thing that gives you
contact with the outside world, so as you can imagine its imperative
you get it right, you will go through a lot of laptops in your time
away, there are two reasons for this 1, it will break or get clogged up,
lets face it we are not Microsoft engineers and the 2, is you have the
money to buy the latest gadgets out there if you are like me.
Around £300 this is 11.6 mini laptop and from my time using
it I can say it’s a little power house, running windows 8.1 500gb
hard drive and 4gb ram is eats through the stuff we need it to out
here in country.
There is not Ethernet connection so you will have to go on
Wi-Fi or buy the little adaptor from amazon.the battery life is bad
you will get around 4 hours but if like me it never leaves my room
so this is not a problem.
The screen is good so is the keyboard, I would recommend
this little laptop as its good to stick in your bag for leave and
you can make sure your life goes with you always keeping them
documents safe.
Good little machine.

MiniGorilla
The MiniGorilla is a small (only 700g in weight) compact charging
unit for your ipad/ipod/iphone or laptop. It can give up to 3hrs of
power depending on the power requirements of your laptop and up
to 20 hours depending on the different types of electrical portable
equipment you want to use. Small enough to fit in to the pockets of
you cargo pants and light enough, so you don’t feel your carrying
a pocket full of loose change, which will knock you off balance
when running. It comes with cables, so you can connect your audio
visual entertainment. Just select the voltage setting you require;
5v, 8.4v, 9.5v, 10v, 12v, 16v or 19v, the screen will indicate what
voltage you have chosen. The LCD comes in an eye catching blue
colour showing you the USB links, how much power you have
left and how much you are using. It has the capability to be connected
to the mains to charge up the system whilst your ipad is
connected along with other items, this makes it a must if you only
have one plug socket and multi plug available. It’s very strong
so feel confident that if the MiniGorilla is in you back packs or
pockets, if it falls out it’s not going to break and suddenly become
a paperweight! It comes with an adaptor the Gorilla pad, this has
www.powertraveller.com
a standard jack plug at one end and a USB connector at
the other about 6 inches in length it takes up the minimum
amount of room so you can plug in the MiniChimp, this is
a battery recharging system for AA batteries, two thirds the
size of the MiniGorilla. It is light to carry; in fact the heaviest
part about this is the batteries you put inside it! Plug it in to
the Mini Gorilla and four small lights will flicker in to life,
these will turn green when the batteries are fully charged.
You can charge 4, 3, 2 or just the one battery; the lights will
indicate which terminals are in use.
All in all a great bit of kit that is ideal if your miles
from the nearest plug socket, it has that “dependable” feel
about it, but is small enough to use in your house so you
can tuck it behind the sofa or out of sight to charge you
kit whilst you sit back and relax.

K-47, also called Kalashnikov Model 1947, Soviet assault rifle, possibly
the most widely used shoulder weapon in the world. The initials AK represent
Avtomat Kalashnikova, Russian for “automatic Kalashnikov,” for its
designer, Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov, who designed the accepted
version of the weapon in 1947.
Almost from the moment of its official adoption
by the Soviet military in 1949, the AK-47
was recognized as being simple to operate,
rugged, reliable under trying conditions, and
Aamenable to mass production.
28

Built around a 7.62-mm round with a muzzle velocity of
some 700 metres per second, it had a cyclic firing rate of 600
rounds per minute and was capable of both semiautomatic and
automatic fire. A long curved box magazine held 30 rounds,
and a separate gas-return tube above the barrel held a piston
that was forced back upon firing to activate the mechanisms
that ejected the spent cartridge and cocked the hammer for
the next round. The AK-47 was manufactured in two basic
designs, one with a wooden stock and the other, designated
the AKS, with a folding metal stock. Beginning in 1959, the
AK-47 was replaced in first-line Soviet service by the AKM, a
modernized version fitted with longer-range sights and cheaper
mass-produced parts, including a stamped sheet-metal receiver
and a plywood buttstock and forward grip.
Despite their obvious advantages, the AK-47 and the AKM
were considered by the Soviet military to have problems with
accuracy, mainly because of recoil forces generated by the powerful
7.62-mm round and other forces known as blowback that
were generated by the weapons’ heavy internal mechanisms.
Those problems were partly addressed during the 1970s, when
the AKM was replaced by the AK-74, which adapted the basic
Kalashnikov design to a smaller 5.45-mm round with a higher
muzzle velocity of 900 metres per second. The most recent version
of the AK-74, the AK-74M, is currently the main infantry
weapon of the Russian army.
After the 1970s, research continued into possible successors
to the AK-47/74 series, most of them involving some
means of reducing the effects of recoil and blowback. One
candidate, the AN-94, allowed two rounds to be fired in rapid
succession before recoil forces were generated. Other candidates,
the AK-107 and AEK-971, introduced mechanical parts
whose movements balanced those of the blowback-generating
mechanisms. None of these weapons was accepted for standard
issue to the Russian army, however.
Kalashnikov assault rifles remain the basic shoulder
weapons of many armies that once had political and military
ties to the former Soviet Union, and they have long been the
favoured weapon for many guerrilla and nationalist movements
throughout the world. It has been estimated that some 100 million
AKs have been produced—fully half of them outside of
Russia, and many of those under expired Soviet-era licenses
or no license at all. A full range of weapons that can trace their
design history back to the AK-47 are produced by the Izhmash
armaments company in Izhevsk, Russia.

Instructions
• This is a standard push-up performed with your hands close
together under the chest.
• Try to keep your back straight and your arms about shoulderwidth
apart. Make sure your back doesn’t hunch or sag down.
• While focusing on your triceps, slowly lower your body by
bending your arms at the elbows. Lower until you are within
an inch of the floor. Focus on the stretch.
• Hold for 1-2 seconds, then push back up to the starting position.
Tips
• If you find it to difficult to complete the required reps, place
your knees on the ground - this will make you use less bodyweight
for the exercise.

that sadly lost their lives during the 7-year duration of the project can SOCKS
be remembered in the best possible way. However we also realise
that there a large number of you may sadly be unable to attend due to other commitments, including continuing work overseas.
JACKETS
The Service of Remembrance will take place in The Guards Chapel, and will conducted by Reverend David Cooper (former MATRIX G7
Civil Affairs Director 2006-2007, and 2 PARA Padre during the Falklands War). This will then be followed by ‘refreshments’ in the Garrison
