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.

I<br />
left the Army in October 2012 after 22 years; my resettlement had been aimed at a career in surveillance. I had<br />
already used my Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) to pass my qualification in Surveillance and was actively looking<br />
for a career in this line of work. I spoke to numerous other Surveillance operators, about how to get a “foot on<br />
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<br />
with the money I had saved and my ELC, I would go for the best qualification I could and, having looked through<br />
numerous magazines and online (and again spoke to friends and friends of friends), I decided on the Ronin Concepts<br />
Course held in Hereford.<br />
The course consisted of four weeks, with a mixture of First Person on Scene Casualty Treatment, Executive<br />
and Hostile Environment Training and culminated in a week of full bore live firing in Poland, on various weapons<br />
(AK47, MP5, Glock 15/17).<br />
