PMCI - August 2014
Welcome to the first Full Issue of PMCI - The ONLY magazine dedicated solely to Private Military Contractors. In this inaugural issue we expose a few "Maritime Myths", travel down The Jalahbad Road and an experienced Operative writes about his CP experience, so far. We also take a look at a range of kit and essentials, including both PenCott and Applied Orange, plus AKU Pilgrim HL boots, pouches and plate carriers, along with GPS devices and Laptops - all from an in-country perspective and Dave Strawbridge writes about that most ubiquitous of weapons, the AK-47. You'll also find listings of recommended CP and First Aid courses, along with Maritime and Security jobs.
