I’ve heard that good money can be earned doing contract work in more hostile environments.
Have any of you guys got any info or contacts for companies opperating in Africa or the Middle East?
All my web searches bring up american sites for work in Afghanistan but I’m sure there must be other options.
Cheers

Give Astran a call I think there mainly subcontractor work out now
But they be your best bet to ask for contacts

Hope you think of the good money when you get kidnapped then stuck in front of a camera to be humiliated, denounce your country then get you head chopped off.
Need to be insane to go to lala land 
There’s a video or several in fact on Youtube, look 'em up i won’t link them, group of those nice rebels (so warm hearted you could take 'em to tea with your old mum) that Obama and Cast Iron Dave wants to support with military action in Syria, they stop three totally innocent lorry drivers, question them, find they happen to be the wrong tribe/religious sect then shoot the poor buggers…its all there, go and enjoy the living hell where life means nothing.

Britain isn’t perfect & I don’t consider myself a patriot but it’s one of the best places to live in the world in my humble opinion.
I work I Iraq but for private security, 7-8 grand month depending on exchange rate
I can think of twenty good reasons/scenarios NOT to go down that route, but’s it’s the HUNDREDS of reasons/scenarios I can’t think of that would stop me!
Good luck fella, you’ll need it.

You gotta start somewhere 
There’s a good reason why they are called HOSTILE environments, it’s got little to do with the weather which is also hostile.
You get paid extra because "hostile environment " is the new PC Crap term for what it really means which is DANGER MONEY.
Soldiers families hate their loved ones being sent over to these places. Why? Cos there’s a very high risk of them coming home a different person to the one that left. PTSD isn’t a myth, it affects people in different ways depending on the person and what they have been exposed to.
Before you carry on with this idea, think very carefully about what you are heading into. However good you are at first person shoot em up computer games, don’t expect it to be anything like that in real life. You may never have to find out how you really react to serious danger to your life. The British Military take extreme care that their contractors don’t get exposed to that level of danger although it could happen. The American Military is reputed to be more ‘gung ho’ in their attitude.
Both do not allow contractors to carry weapons, because an untrained weapon handler is a greater danger.
I’m an ex-military driver. I’ve served in hostile environments. It is nothing like driving down the M6.

You’re fortunate in so far as the wages goes, the public sector workers who die over there get to play on our hearts strings, Help for heroes etc…
I guess if you’re in the private sector that doesn’t happen? Who helps you guys or your families if you get snuffed ? After what happened with that mad guard are you all frightened to play cards now or do you still do it? And if you’re private who do you guard ? I’d love to find out more about this stuff,it fascinates me.
