Private security contractor question

[litotes15]

I sent out a resume yesterday and recieved a response from a company called WSI / ArmorGroup North America. Just wondering if anyone out there has had any first hand experience with them or even heard of their outfit?? Just wondering if it was a clown operation or have decent group of guys working with them. I have found very little info on them.
I would hate to sign up for a six month contract and be stuck in Afghanistan with a bunch of jack-holes. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Look up Armor Group in the news. They had a nice little scandal involving jello shots and hazing. It made such news that Hillary Clinton was investigating in a Congressional investigation. That crew has since been replaced, and some people higher up got canned I believe. Other than that, PM me.

I had two buddies work for them. We all served in 1st Ranger Battalion together. They are both squared away and served with some more Battalion Rangers at Armor Group. They said it wasn't bad working for them just boring. Good money but boring. One of them now works for BW and the other is in FBI academy.

Good luck...

Have dealt with
Reed
EODT
BW/XE or whatever its called now
Blue Hackle (might be off on that)
Global Strategies (might be off again)

Most of the people you deal with overseas in this line of work are OK or great people. You do run into some shitheads though. The guys I would put in this cat were hired on a project basis from KBR and were real easy to spot.

The real answer to your question would be found on another website that has many many people who specialise in this type of work. Shoot me an IM if you don't know what SOC is.
