You can believe whatever you wish, but the company that I work for charges up to 800 dollars per hour, per client, per guard. Our company will give us half of that.
I havn't started yet, due to the fact I havn't obtained my federal liscense yet, since we will be traveling with the client over state lines. These people are rich, and they don't care how much they spend, as long as someone is willing to take a bullet for them.
One of our guards went to an event with one of the players from the Colorado Avalanche recently.
I am currently undergoing training from my company to become a certified body guard. The owner of my company is an ex-navy seal, and his supervisor (the one who pulled some strings to get me hired) is also an ex-navy seal.
Right now they're training me on their security patrol schedule, and getting me situated for their new clients this summer.
I'm also undergoing weapons training, weapon maintenence, hand-to-hand, and eventually tactical training.
But you can go ahead and believe in what ever you want. It's not like I'll be going full time making 400 dollars an hour.... It will range from 60-400 dollars an hour, depending on the clients needs. I may even start now if they don't require a federal liscenced guard, and they stay within the area.
