You have mentioned a couple times that your weight has been an issue. I would journey to say 'most' "high speed low drag" jobs may be out of your grasp if they are anywhere decent. Most of the HS;LD type security I have interacted with have had reasonably high physical standards (granted I don't know what yours are, so this is why I say 'may') and require initial PT tests and have a fair amount of high intensity training.

Absolutely true.

Be cautious of what you find out there. There are a lot of companies putting on the HS;LD image that are just a bunch of SWAT wannabes in tactical gear. If you find a company that wears thigh rigs, tactical Kevlar vests, BDUs, and patrols apartment complexes, holds no standard training days, has no high employment standards, and pays $8.50/hr, ... beware.

You have just described 1/4 of the security companies that work section 8/high risk apartment complexes in South Florida, sir. I was lucky enough to receive $15/hr where I was and I ran the training. The result was that even the officers that were hired later at lower wages with no experience were trained to an acceptable standard for the rigors of the site.

In order to get a "real" high speed, low drag job, you need to have a pretty solid resume. During my career in security I had to handle many life or death situations. Granted, thats not traditional for security guards but if you work the right jobs you can gain this experience. Having verifiable proof that you can keep a cool head and perform your duty in highly stressful situations is what these companies look for.. it also helps to know someone who is in one of these companies. In all truth, they are all "good ole boys" clubs. Everyone on my team has at least worked with one other member on another job.

I find the larger companies that do CP work overseas (the ultimate high speed, low drag) require more than just proof that you can do things calmly, but also require extensive experience in combat situations.
