I used to be a bodyguard (executive protection). AMA

*edit* Thanks everybody, hope y’all got something out of this *exit*

My psychiatrist for my P*T*S*D suggests I have a bit of imposter syndrome as I never really considered myself to be a "bodyguard" like you see in the movies. For a number of years, I was in Executive Protection providing close protection and associated services for oil and gas executives, forestry and mining, one celebrity, politicians, and a member of the British peerage noble class. My daily rate at the highest point was $2000USD, and at its lowest was 350USD. I came out of the military doing something entirely different and found my way, by accident, into this role. I won't name names. I'm using a throwaway account.

Geographies I've worked in this role, Africa and south america and middle east (which has a large French O&G presence), S Korea, Philippines, UK, Turkey, and France.
