Hey everyone, just stumbled across the forum the other day. I was in the Army until 2010 and went straight from Germany back to a small town with crap jobs and little pay. Then that town (Joplin) was blown away by an EF-5 tornado so I decided it was time to move.
I moved in with family and now live in Kansas City. I work downtown for a security company at a multi-million dollar performing arts complex that opened for the first time late last year.
My ultimate goal is to work Corporate Security or possibly Executive Protection once I have more training / experience, but until then I am not sure what the next step is since there seems to be very little room for advancement in the current company.
I plan to use education benefits to cover some courses through ESI-Lifeforce, but if anyone has any advice on next steps in the right direction I'm certainly open to ideas.
I am also interested in ideas for getting a homeless man to stop pissing in our parking garage. The police come out to get rid of him all the time but he just comes right back the next night. At first he was sleeping in the stairwell, but now that he knows we come out there to run him off so he only goes in to piss in the air-locked stairwell. Generally I try not to get to close to him since A) he smells really bad and B) he's wearing some heavy clothing that could easily conceal a weapon (we do not carry), so I'm not really sure what to do.
Thanks everyone, looking forward to talking to you all.
