There are several agencies that hire former military members. Some take anyone from grunts to cooks. Others only hire from combat arms, and then others only hire ex-spec ops. These are PSD positions (Personal Security Detail). These are guys that go around in civilian up-armored SUV's (Toyota Sequoia, Fort Excursions, Ford Explorers and Toyota Land Cruisers are the dominant ones). They take the security missions that the military passes up on, like escorting Army Corps of Engineers folks and such. These guys start at well over 100K US annually. They typically sign a one or two year contract with options to extend. One that I know of is AEGIS. It is a British company that hires from all over the world and that the US likes a LOT. There are a couple more over there, but AEGIS is the biggest and really the best one out there. I almost took a job with them but my wife whined too much. Apparently I am worth more than a few hundred thousand dollars to her. Anyway, these guys get modern weapons and are provided with very sturdy vehicles. They do not have a web site, but if you want information, I can sent it to you off line.
