>this apparently disbars you from any chance of joining the military
>stopped my dumbass from joining the Marines right out of HS in 2018
>fast forward to now, already sick of my career
>want to do private military contracting in some way or another, whether it's welding and repairing shit or actually shooting bad guys dead
>but no LEO/Mil experience besides using and training with firearms/gear in my own freetime

where should I start? I was considering joining border control and running with that for a while and seeing if that experience would get me into a PMC. I'd rather not be an outright boot like a cop or something if I can help it.

You have a heart problem and you can’t operate independently from significant sustainment providing you complex and relatively rare medicine. You’re not Snake. You’re fucked up Revolver Ocelot at best.
Just read / listen to Congo Mercenary by Mike Hoare to get the gist of it. Otherwise your only option is shitty Russian PMCs that have crazy casualties.

Listen lil guy you've had your chance with Ukraine when they were taking any warm body that showed up, instead you were scared like any normal person would be. No PMC is going to take someone who couldn't even get their foot into a recruiting sergeant's office

God gave you an "out" from signing up for the big regret and you're angry about it? Harness that energy into something creative or productive instead, it will be worth it i promise.

Grow up a bit, maybe you will realize that becoming a PMC is definitely not a job for someone with a damn heart condition. Any bleed and you will have a much harder time stopping it.

I say this is without even mentioning that most/all PMC's require you to have military experience or some kind of expertise to the company. If you are so desperate to larp, become a cop.

Never said anything about wanting to be Snake from the fictional video game Metal Gear Solid V that has almost nothing close to do with reality besides locations and factions. But as I said, I'm not looking to be some hero or some shit, but rather doing maintenance/mechanic/glorified security guard work near some combat zone.

>>63864212
Lol no I wasn't scared lil bro, I know you're enjoying summer vacation and all but unlike you I had responsibilities in 2022.

>>63864221
Not angry about it at all, thankful if anything. Moreso I'm just sick of my current career path and would rather do something more interesting.

>>63864252
>grow up a bit
Lol I've already almost died twice, but sure I'll grow up.
>Any bleed and you will have a much harder time stopping it
Tell me something I don't already know
>If you are so desperate to larp, become a cop.
I refuse to be a nigger

i think probably the most realistic path if you arent american is doing french foreign legion, but that fucking sucks, its apparently as gay and subhuman as the russian military and requires speaking frog.

this is just a shit time in the world to become a military man. its very clear every western nation wants you to be some gimped gay powerless retard and makes paths to becoming a more dangerous human being as gatekept as possible.

No "PMC" is going to take you without previous law enforcement or military background. 95% of these contractor jobs are you standing around doing nothing in some shithole. Plus the ones going around "shooting bad guys" are all former SOF with years of combat experience and security clearances doing contracts with the government. All Federal LEOs require you to have a bachelors degree and if you want to do Border Patrol you better learn Spanish as it is a requirement to graduate.

Just do security and get open carry certified. They can pay $35-$40 an hour someplaces which isn’t that bad. I’m going to get my permit in a few weeks so I can keep security as a back up option. It’s not that exciting but you get payed decent just to sit around with a gun which actual irl PMC’s basically do anyways.

Also I worked with a guy who was in the Iraq invasion and later went on to do some mercanary work in Lybia and other countries and he basically said you just sit in a barbwire outpost the whole time with m4s and m249s while lifting weights and watching tv for the slight chance that shit goes wrong so its really not all that. You don’t actually live out your fantasies as Snake. You’re better off just training with your guns and getting yourself in the best shape you can in your free time.

You're not. Full stop. Now

>welding and repairing shit

Is something different. There's government support contractors and non-government agencies that do stuff like that but they're not running around looking like they bought the entire 5.11 catalog and hung every Magpul accessory off an M4.

this, if you want the authentic 'sitting around watching a gate for 12 hours' experience you can get it without going to some sun-baked shithole

if you're not a total retard and / or a faggot, research local PDs and find out which ones have well-funded tactical teams with proper regular training and assignments, or who allow patrolmen to carry rifles, scratch the itch a little without being a massive liability with the risks of being away from your meds

Pay a green brat to train homeless veterans you captured. Take bounties on wild hogs, iguanas, coyotes, ect.
Do this until you think your company can handle Haiti.

sorry anon, you're perma-fucked. nothing you can do. too old to start, too crippled to even had a chance.
the best you can hope for is going into Mechanical engineering, Aerospace engineering or some other kind of Computer Monkey, get really good at those fields and then knock at DARPA and the NSA, CIA, FBI or any Mil.Ind. Complx company until someone gets tired of your shit and hires you or you get blacklisted for trying too hard to get in.

Besides anon, its a lot more money to be the guy making/selling the munitions than beng the guy expending the munitions

For a world so overwhelmed and enveloped by armed conflict, there are places where you can go such as Myanmar, The Philippines, Ukraine, Mideast [Syria/Iraq] or South America and join a volunteer force.

The question is not of your physical ability but is of your drive and motivation. Do you think there aren't volunteers with more problems you have? There are plenty. Just don't be a bitch and bring your own damn meds. or find an alternative n make em yourself. If it really means that much to you, and you're really this miserable without the lifestyle, why don't you just go do it yourself?

Legally speaking, of course, joining such organizations is uhhh... Bad or whatever. So uh, like, if you're an American just like join whatever one has the US interests in mind the most.

The market is oversaturated with PMCs who are tier 3 and above experienced and even then the ones who never deployed don't even get offered PSD jobs. If you throw yourself at their door they won't be saying no. Just shut your damn mouth about your health issues like we all do and die like a man.
