Justin<\/a> recently linked to a post making fun of extremely tactical security<\/a> and as someone with experience in retail<\/i> I have to call the fault on Justin here. Security is no laughing matter.<\/p>\n

My first deployment<\/h3>\n

My first deployment was in Viet Nam and Justin would probably be the first one to point out that I am too young to have been in the war. Well guess what smarty pants, I I never said I was there during the war<\/i>. My deployment came with orders from the top and my presence was not to be noted in the international stage but you can better believe that Charlie remembers my work well and they still speak my name with hallowed observance<\/i>.<\/p>\n

My mission to Lovesac – ie how I saved the mall<\/h3>\n

My friends know that while I was “in high school” I worked at LoveSac in the mall. I can’t tell you which one because it hasn’t been declassified yet but my station there was for security purposes. You wouldn’t believe how many 12 yr old punks were in there with Body Armor and AKs looking for a good time. I put my life on the line daily<\/b><\/i> to protect the innocent shoppers.<\/p>\n

I had numerous situations involving kids that would not respond to orders to “be quiet” or “don’t touch the displays” and more than once I had to stomp my boot on some young terrorists hell-bent on disrupting normal shopping patterns.<\/p>\n

My equipment<\/h3>\n

\"MyThe afore mentioned thread contains a lot of quips about how tactical gear is not necessary for Mall Security but guess again, what do you think highly trained speical ops guys that attack the mall are going to be carrying!? High-powered rifles, HKs, AKs, ARs, C4 and one time we had a biological<\/i> weapon of deadly fast-food proportions.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I use (all equipment I train with virtually daily using the Call of Duty 4 Combat simulator<\/p>\n
