Not for 100k a month. These buggers that go over to a war zone for a supposedly "big payout" obviously dont value their lives much

That works out to around £350 a day, which is pretty much the going rate for a bg on the circuit. Best of luck to the guy - it's no fun being used for target practise...

I see this all the time as I am in the army, moneys good but you have to think about how much you value your life.

Weighing up the probability of something nasty happening to you or making it through your time out there for that money isn't worth it in my opinion

Fair play to those who make it through their time out there.

But to those who don't , they knew the risks

dodgy way of earning a living that, i wouldnt do it, i like living on the edge and taking risks etc, but with that you arent in control, no matter how good he is there is nothing he can do to stop a suicide bomb attack etc, good luck to him though.

ive earnt that much myself before without taking any risks, 4 years ago i was on 10K a month as a technical consultant to toyota gb, but there isnt as much money in it anymore and im making just over 4K a month now im back there again even though im doing basically the same thing.

cant see wat the issue really is if ya think bout it. the guy knows hes businness after all the time hes spent in the arm forces. long as hes stays armed the teeth with every weapon he can hold on to. not like a crazed bindi with a dodgy ak407's gunna do much harm is there.

easy money

i dont think that is much use when you are protecting someone in a restaurant and the hole building gets levelled with you in it by a suicide bomber or a mortar attack.

I wouldnt work in Iraq for any amount of money. If he has no family or is single I could see the incentive but I not if you have a loving family around you. Someone has to do it though so fair play to him. Bet he will appreciate every penny of that money though being somewhere like that.

Go down the bookies every few days instead, I pick up around £800-£1600 per week depending on how often I go down.
It only takes about 4-6 hours per day & doesn't involve any dangerous or hard work.
Would I do the Bodyguard job, no. Not when I can take up to £8000 a month doing part time

The title reads “£10,500 a month, who can beat that?”, well I can. I’m an SAP WM consultant/contractor, and my going rate is £775 per day, which works out at £15,500 a month working on a four-week month. Plus I won’t get shot…….. Plus I’m fully booked, with loads of work at present.
