How to Become a U.S. Defense Contractor
Updated: March 28, 2019
The
United States Government employs thousands of individual and corporate
defense contractors every year. The Department of Defense, the various
branches of the military, and the companies these agencies contract with
employ thousands of people as security personnel, IT specialists,
analysts, administrators, scientists, doctors, accountants, etc. The
government also contracts with both large and small businesses to
provide services and supplies that are used in every facet of
maintaining the country’s defense. Breaking into defense contracting
requires going through a lot of red tape, and can be difficult at first,
but if you are motivated and able to obtain a security clearance, there
are many opportunities to be had in the defense industry.
1
Become
a U.S. Citizen. Almost all U.S. defense contractor positions require
applicants to be United States citizens. If you are not a native
citizen, you can go through the naturalization process to obtain your
citizenship, which involves taking an extensive test on English and
Civics.[1]
2
Be
able to acquire security clearance. You cannot actually obtain a
security clearance until you are employed in a government job, or have
been sponsored by a company or agency who wishes to hire you. However,
you should try to determine if you are eligible for clearance before you
begin. If you have previously had a security clearance in the past,
this is a good indicator that you will be able to obtain one again. The
following are some of the factors that generally prevent a person from
obtaining a security clearance:
Past criminal convictions that lead to jail time of 1 year or more.
Current use of illegal or controlled substances.
A determination of mental incompetence by a DoD-approved mental health professional.
A dishonorable discharge from the Armed Forces.
Unwillingness to surrender a foreign passport.
Severe, repeated financial problems.
Intentional false statements made in the application process.
Repeated alcohol abuse.
A pattern of criminal or conduct or rule violation.

I
am greeted by a wooden casket hoisted on the shoulders of eight high
school basketball players as I enter the lobby of Catholic Memorial
School in early January. An American flag covers the casket. At 8 a.m., I
expect a tired expression across the face of each young man and wonder
how they will navigate the halls to the narrow chapel.

How Much Money Does an Armed Security Guard Get Paid?

How Much Money Does an Armed Security Guard Get Paid?
by Rick Suttle -
A growing emphasis in personal safety has put armed security guards at the forefront of the news. People want to know their kids are safe at school, or that they can be protected when attending downtown sporting or theatrical events. While the police provide some of this protection, city budget cuts can precipitate the need for trained security guards. Armed security guards patrol businesses and parking lots, monitor alarms and security cameras, and apprehend perpetrators when necessary. They also write detailed reports on crimes and discuss the circumstances with police officers. They earn salaries averaging just above $30,000 annuallyhttps://work.chron.com/much-money-armed-security-guard- paid-22140.html

Getting a job with an overseas military contractor –
security company, or a private military contractor, or PMC – isn’t
difficult, if you have the necessary blend of training and experience.
It also helps if you’re in top-flight physical condition and have a
spotless police record. Duties and locations depend on the organization
you choose to work for and the skills you bring to the job.

CBD for Dog Anxiety Symptoms (Shaking and Panting)
If you have ever suffered from an anxiety attack, you will
understand exactly how horrific it can be at the time. While you struggle to
breathe or focus, you usually find it in you to vocalize your need for help, so
just imagine how much worse it would be if you couldn’t even ask anyone for
help? Unfortunately, dogs that suffer from anxiety have to go through exactly
that each time they feel nervous. Whether it is separation anxiety,
post-traumatic stress disorder, or one of the many other anxiety disorders,
they feel completely panicked, but they aren’t able to tell us—the pet
owners—what is wrong and what they need. Fortunately, canine anxiety will often
manifest itself through symptoms that usually include shaking, panting, and
whining, which is what alerts us to help them overcome their disorder.
Stress
and anxiety can be really tough to deal with and there aren’t many options
available to both dogs and humans that offer relief without some form of
negative side effects. This is one of the main reasons that people are turning
to CBD oil as a remedy for these times of crisis—both for personal use and also
for their furry friends.
A dog’s anxiety can be triggered by an innumerable number of
things, many of which you can figure out in advance so that you can better
prepare yourself for an episode of panic (fireworks, thunderstorms, etc.). In
addition, CBD oil, hemp oil, and many other CBD products are packed with loads
of other benefits for your dog, aside from treating his presenting anxiety.
How Does CBD Work for Dog Anxiety?
The benefits of CBD are slowly starting to show up in
studies and it is fast becoming one of the most important aids to combat the
symptoms that a dog experiences when he is feeling stressed or anxious. It is
especially well regarded as a pain reliever for chronic pain and
anti-inflammatory agent when used to treat common problems like arthritis.
CBD is one of two crucial elements found present in a
cannabis plant that is compounded into oil for medical use. CBD itself has less
than 0.3% of THC when properly extracted, which is important to know as
anything over that amount could be toxic for dogs. CBD works to cure anxiety in
dogs via their natural endocannabinoid system to trigger parts of the central
nervous system responsible for dealing with feelings of panic and fear. Through
the same process, CBD triggers the release of serotonin in the brain, which, in
turn, will calm your pooch down and free him from feelings of anxiety.
It Will also Tackle Other Problems
Many often hail CBD as a miracle oil because it can also be
used to treat a huge range of other problems that could also be contributing to
your furry friend’s anxiety levels. Many medical professionals—both for humans
and animals—now advocate the use of medical marijuana, including CBD oil as it
produces excellent results in a short space of time compared to other
traditional medications. The best part is, there are zero side effects. There
have been both scientific research papers and patient testimonials emerging in
recent times that back the efficacy of medical marijuana to treat ailments such
as the following:
Successfully eliminates seizures
Cancer treatment and prevention
Pain relief
Arthritis and similar problems
Insomnia
Depression
Using CBD as a Preventative Measure
Cannabis-based medicine has been used for thousands of
years, way before it took its rightful place in the public spotlight. It is one
of the few medicines on the planet that is not accompanied by any harmful side
effects and it is virtually impossible to overdose on it. It is for this reason
that people are now turning to a daily dose of CBD for themselves and their
pets, even if they are in perfect health. Many users of medical marijuana have
reported that it contributes to their overall mood, positive frame of mind and
allows them to relax properly. Because our dogs can fall ill suddenly, all
loving dog parents want to do everything possible to prevent unforeseen
illnesses and as CBD oil’s popularity increases, it is widely used as preventative
medicine for pretty much every sickness in existence.
What Does Research Say?
Without delving into complicated scientific jargon, there is
already a substantial amount of evidence that highlights CBD’s ability to treat
illness in both animals and humans. There is still more testing to be done,
especially with regards to CBD as a primary form of mainstream treatment rather
than a complimentary supplement. However, the future is looking bright for
cannabis-based products as more countries and states are legalizing its use and
commercial manufacturing operations.
Final Thoughts
If your dog has been suffering from anxiety for a while and
you are finding yourself lost with regards to finding a product that will
actually work without harming your dog, then you have nothing to lose giving
CBD a try. A good quality oil will be processed in a way that ensures it is
entirely chemical free and pure. If you are worried about dosages, don’t be.
There is currently no specific amount that you should be administering to your
dog, which is another indicator that it really is safe to use. The reason for
this is that a) you can’t overdose on CBD and b) it is still considered to be
an experimental homeopathic medicine, which needs further research. You should
always start with a lower dosage and gradually increase this dose if you don’t
notice an improvement in your dog’s temperament. The taste can often be
somewhat revolting, as reputable manufacturers will often use omega-3 as the
carrier oil. So, unless your dog loves fish, you might want to consider mixing
the oil into his food. Finally, you should consult your vet before using CBD
oil to treat any kind of illness or disorder in your dog, just to be on the
safe side.
