warrenpenalver Report post Posted February 6, 2009 yeah that other job was right dodgy!!! In this job i get to chase down drug addicts and thieves which will work well for my fitness. I can also sneak around hiding behind pilars to try and catch car thieves and shoplifters in the act. Plus i have to go do some advanced first aid and a defibrillator course so i can zap people as the shopping centre security are "first responders" for the whole of the town centre.

pookie170 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 Yay!! How cool!! We'd better not mess with you now, if you're a' gonna be the law round these here parts! That's awesome, I'm so pleased for you. .................... Do you get a cool uniform and a walkie talkie??? What about a nightstick?? A badge???? Warren, the superfly security guy......... Has a good ring to it! Hope you enjoy it! Esther x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warrenpenalver Report post Posted February 6, 2009 the uniform is rubbish compared to my old military one. No kevlar or night sticks but i have a nice 200lumen surefire tactical torch that has special "dig between ribs" grooves on the end so i can prod people in ribs I do get a walkie talkie but if i can get away with it i will modify it to use an earpiece. I have to wear my SIA license badge all the time so i guess i do have a badge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warrenpenalver Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Hope you're 'spit and polishing' those boots! Do you use the back of a hot spoon? I dont use the back of a hot spoon!! You only really need a spoon if they are already polished and youve scuffed them, then you use the spoon to smooth the polish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warrenpenalver Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Well just finished my shoes for work. They rung me to ask if i had any steel toe capped boots, which i do from the navy, but they hadnt been used for over a year and had big craters in the leather from kicking into things on the submarine while crawling under the casing. I used my modern "hot spoon" which is a heat gun I have for some of my projects. This is the result: Shiney Shoes I think they should be ok for a little while. Its still going to take a couple of weeks to build up enough polish to totally hide the dents!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warrenpenalver Report post Posted February 25, 2009 lots of boring health and safety briefs today and i could easily manage the place better than the current people!! Not quite military efficiency!! (and the military arent that efficient!!). But the works easy and once ive finished training i pretty much work alone on patrols which suits me fine!! Should do me fine until i go to University in September. Also �1k a month after tax is very welcome indeed and timing is good!!! I work 5 days in 7 so i may be able to keep the job when at uni.
