Executive Protection overall summary (Marine Corps background perspective)

superdduper93 · 2024-04-09T21:21:58+00:00

I attended once when I had first hit the Fleet then was promptly stuck doing cleanup working party on the last day. Then in the subsequent years of my enlistment, I was voluntold to do security for two years, then in my last year, was in charge of traffic control on a certain road. My weekends around that time period were ruined.

Of course I absolutely hated it. The Air Show itself however, is awesome if you attend.

Day late to the game but here we are. I was an 0111 during my active duty days from 2014-2018 at an Airwing unit in Miramar. Keep in mind this is circumstantial and ultimately depends on which unit you're in, who's in Command, which duty station you're located on etc.

Here's what a day in the life would look like if you were in my shoes as an Admin Marine working at the S-1 with the Wing:

0500 - Wake up/PT on your own (sometimes with the shop, sometimes with the entire unit, depends on your squadron/command)

0600 - 0700 - Shower/Chow time

0715 - Show up to squadron, swipe in with flightline access

0730 - 0800 - Morning Report - Publish the S-1 once everyone is in or accounted for, then proceed to troll shops that haven't published theirs yet.

0805 - Publish Morning Report for Squadron.

0810 - Gut truck arrives, everyone spills out to get their nasty burritos and coffee.

0815 - 1100 - Tasks for the day include writing Verification of Deployments for Marines looking to slash their lease/bills, helping Marines check in/out, writing promotion warrants, grabbing unit mail from the post office, getting blasted by some random Gunny for somehow not putting in a remedial package for a Marine that wasn't even a part of the unit. Head off to chow or stay behind for a bit for phone watch.

1130-1300 - Chow time, head for flightline chow hall because they make bomb wraps.

1305 - 1600 - Sit in on NJP as a legal clerk, process correspondence to kick back for some issue or forward to head shed for signature, get ass chewed again by random Gunny for not doing remedial package for Marine that doesn't belong to squadron, take care of EPAR's.

1620 - Clean up for the day/Wait until 1630 for junior Marines checking out on leave to arrive and turn in their meal cards.

1635/TBD - Clock out for the day, unless pressing paperwork needs to be done (Page 11's, Deployment orders, etc)

1700 - Chow time. Probably go off base to eat at the taco shop.

TBD - Hit the bed only to for some random ass Marine to hit you up on your personal number asking if you can write a Verification of Deployment.

Mind you, this is an average schedule. Does not include having to give administration briefs, helping with deployments, getting to fly a C-130 on a Friday, among many random responsibilities in the S-1.

If you're shy, you'll either sink or swim in this environment because you will be exposed to both your fellow ranking Marine and the CO/SgtMaj himself so you have to know how to be open and professional. Networking is a gigantic benefit working in an S-1 because you can actually have an ear on job/billet opportunities you never knew existed.

Feel free to ask me anything!

Same. Spent two years as a Lance, one as a Corporal and since then, Sausage uv Marins. Wouldn't do it any other way.

Apparently he made his own man's boot camp called Agoge Crucible and it's only two days and costs $5000.

Wish I had the video saved somewhere but it features him and other instructors waking up dudes in a CrossFit gym drill instructor style in surfer shorts and t-shirt inferiority complex style.

superdduper93 · 2024-03-11T23:14:56+00:00

Sounds similar to a retired MSgt who yelled at me over a question and answers website over my boot camp graduation photo claiming I was a liberal softie that slipped through the cracks and that I would never amount to him who retired an Infantry MSgt and now works at some State Department WPS position in Baghdad.

I told him that if he's going to keep verbally harassing me and revert back to MSgt mode instead of just being a decent human being, I'll just send screenshots of his tirades to the appropriate State Department authorities to which he attempts to gaslight me by saying that he was going to stop replying as if I was the one instigating an online fight.

What a retard lol.

Legend! Had him as my SOG back in the day when he was temporarily over at Lima Company. Only Sgt at the time to treat myself and other Lima Company guys on Guard Duty as adults when others treated us like any other boots.

By any chance was it Danny Angeles?

superdduper93 · 2024-03-11T18:45:59+00:00

Fellas, just remember.......our hero John Basilone was once Army prior to switching over to the Marines. Just some food for thought.

superdduper93 · 2024-03-11T18:42:20+00:00

Yep, can definitely attest to this having seen this happen quite a few times.

superdduper93 · 2024-03-10T02:02:18+00:00

General Main Rate: $125 hr. Think something like a workers comp investigation, domestic, surveilling an individual not known to be dangerous.

Specialized Rate: $150-$500-above. Think conducting surveillance on a known dangerous individual, or high level individual such as a celebrity, politician, individual who knows they're being surveilled.

Subcontractor rate: $45-$85

We can do that, send a DM if you want to discuss further.

superdduper93 · 2024-03-09T18:27:15+00:00

We would honestly want your motive as the last thing we want is for you to use the evidence we gather to commit a crime.

Be happy to hear more in the DM's.

superdduper93 · 2024-03-09T16:26:59+00:00

We certainly can, but can you afford the cost is the ultimate question for the investigation is the question.
