- THE GUIDE OF A PROFESSIONAL MERCENARY
- (viper010.)
-
-
- by DAIMYO
-
-
- Some of us want to be doctors, lawyers,
- programmers, or millionaires - still others wish
- for something else. A profession with a little more
- excitement, where the gamble is higher than usual.
- Where it is all or nothing, where Va-bank is the
- everyday life. Yes folks, there are people out
- there who want to be professional mercenaries.
-
- The profession of a soldier of fortune is
- fairly unknown. Very little has been written about
- it, or rather very little of real-life substance.
- However, I can easily tell you some statistical
- numbers - for they usually are the only truth.
-
- A yearly income of a Soldier of Fortune varies
- from month to month. It is better looked at as
- annual monthly income. Which is, depending on the
- training of a soldier, time of year, position on
- the hierarchial ladder, specific place on the
- planet, and the need for such purely professional
- soldiers - ranges from 400 to 40,000 US dollars.
-
- The latest reports from the Balkans, show that
- a new mercenary recruit gets paid as low as 200
- dollars a month (that is the price for the greenest
- of green, those mercenaries who can barely shoot
- straight).
-
- Another latest report this time from Chechnya,
- shows an average daily income of up to 1 thousand
- US dollars (that's for a day's work).
-
- But to get that much money each day, one would
- have to be a professional. A question arises right
- there, "How can an ordinary man become a
- professional mercenary?" Well, its not easy and
- some spending has to be done before anything
- happens.
-
- Usually, it is better to learn on the job.
- That way, you get paid, you get free education, and
- experience. The only places that can give you such
- a combination are unfortunately located primarily
- in Europe.
-
- In the Balkans, a rookie can still receive
- good basic training in strategy, combined arms, and
- basic combat techniques. It is also very cheap,
- because they pay you. And not too life-threatening,
- because most soldiers out there are amateurs, and
- most mercenaries are just as green as you are.
-
- Now to learn some heavy urban, street-combat,
- ambushing and sniping techniques one should go to
- Chechnya. The war there is far from over, although
- I doubt you'll be able to learn any urban warfare
- by the time you get there. Although, guerilla
- actions, and long range sniping missions will do
- wonders to your professionalism.
-
- The pay is good (at least 400 US dollars a
- week). There are also many professionals, from
- Iranian mercenaries to Estonian and Ukrainian
- militants. So you will get good lessons.
-
- However, one drawback is evident. The newly-
- arrived Russian Federation Marine Brigade will be
- leaving soon, but more units from Russian Ministry
- of Internal Affairs will be coming. And, I do not
- know about you, but I'd rather take on two Marines
- than on one Spetsnaz. But of course that's just me.
-
- You can reach Chechen militants in Istanbul
- (Turkey), Tehran, and if you are fast enough, right
- here in the United States (I hear a foreign
- minister of Chechen republic is around).
-
- Other than those two areas, you can try your
- luck in South America, Central Africa, Middle East,
- and South-East Asia. However, I would advise on
- getting experience first in some small-time local
- war, before going to work for big guns.
-
- BTW, did I forget to mention that CIA (USA),
- United States Army Intelligence, and a few dozen
- other intelligence Agencies and groups constantly
- higher well-trained mercenaries for small (and not
- so small), high paying jobs!
-
- In this profession, the Sky is the Limit to
- your personal growth. In the worst case, you will
- end up working for some European or middle-eastern
- terrorist group (in the education department), and
- will be making a good living in your old years.
