Is it fun being a security guard?

[Khub]

How many people have you kicked out whilst being security guy?
Do you have stunbaton? Do you use it? And what about facemask?

I enjoy it. Mostly it's what we do as a company. It's not the traditional sit at a desk and monitor a monitor. We're active and do many events, parties, concerts, etc. I can't count the number of concerts I've listened to from working.  We do have a few LTC/PP (Long term contracts and permanent posts which is just a euphamism for the LTC) with a few hospitals and such, and I've had at least three days a week on a LTC since September, and those are fun to a point. Mostly its just nice having the hours and knowing nothing will change until the contract is done.

Only one actually. I've asked a few people to leave but have only participated in a single eviction.  Which is kinda odd since I'm a supervisor with the company and all.

No. No baton of any type can be used by a security officer while in uniform without a baton permit. And our company policy is never to use them or even have them because we have maybe 100 staff for a concert with 9000 people. If someone of the crowd got it, hell would ensue. Plus even if there was a real thing as a stun baton it would probably require the tazer permit as well.

If you could choose an age, and you would be stuck at it for the rest of your life. (Aka you would never grow older ever again.)
Which age would it be, and why?

How much money per hour does your job earn? :3

Probably 25. People seem to take that age more seriously than those around it. But I'd rather grow old.

Depends. The pay scale is based on event, staffing type, and if I bring my guard card with me..  If I were to work as an event staff and had forgotten my guard card I could technically get paid 8 per hour.  No matter if I am event or security staff if I have my guard card I get 10. If I am in a supervisory position I get 10.50. And I will get 11-11.50 when I go to Arizona for the event here in a few weeks.

What made you want to become a security guard? Seems like kind of an odd ambition.

I was volunteering for a production company and started chatting with the security at one area and found it interesting. Took me almost a half a year before I was like huh, let's see what's up. Had another job at the time, this was just in the side. Now this is my only job.

What do you do as a security guard?

Is it fun/boring?

Is it easy to be one?

It depends on the specific job/event. It always changes. One day we're directing people the next we evict a few and have to deal with fires, literally.

Fun? Depends. It is fun in general, sometimes its boring. Stand on your street corner for 8 hours with only a 20 minute and 30 minute break. Then go walk around the mall for the same time and breaks. Then go sit in the middle of nowhere. It is different each time.

Easy? Relatively. It is a mindset one needs though. You need to be able to handle trouble people, drunks mainly. You have to project your voice. And most of all you have to know limits, both yours, the persons, and legal limits.

Can you record your self "projecting your voice" - purely out of interest...

Would you ever quit being a security guard for another job? What would that be?

What do you think about big communities on Gmod in general?

Projecting your voice - utilizing volume as needed aka yelling but moderating the volume for the situation.

Yes. When I finish school and begin my career in IT.

Bunch of whiney twelve year old kids who think they are badasses because they have devnull from money they stole from their parents wallets.

Depends on the company and state, etc.

No. Just don't do it again or I will.
