Close Protection: For all the guys wanting to start a life in PSD and work abroad take stock before you sign on the dotted line : Yes the wage is good Yes you can up your lifestyle with a nice home, car and Holidays Yes the financial rewards are tempting Yes it gets in your blood Yes you see the world Yes you get considerable time at home when you are at home Yes you are in a cabin or prison cell for twelve hours a day and work the other twelve Yes you have to share with people who snore and smell Yes you have to put up with substandard cramped condition Yes you see things you hope your kids never have to see Yes you miss Family and loved ones Yes Relationships will be strained and pushed to breaking point Yes you will be out of complete contact for days sometimes weeks at a time Yes you wish your life away when you are away Yes you lay awake at night sometimes wondering why do I do this and Is this really worth it SO ??? BEFORE YOU EMBARK ON A TRIP AND SIGN YOUR LIFE AWAY, REMEMBER; No you will not make every party, BBQ, wedding or funeral No you will not be home for Christmas or Easter No you will not be there for your childrens birthdays No you will not see your kids swim, ride a bike for the first time or be there to read stories at night No you cant just pick up a phone or email your family whenever you like No you will not be there to take them to watch sports games No you will not be there for presentation nights, school plays or parent/teacher interviews No you will not be there to see them win medals at school sports days No you will not always be there during times of family crisis and feel helpless being so far away No you might not be there to bury a family member or close friend So, before anybody judges someone who has the guts and courage to work away to try and make a better life for themselves and those around them, DONT say YOU MUST BE MINTED or YOUR LUCKY. These people sacrifice more than half of their life being away from loved ones to make their dreams come true.
