S — Situation (why you’re here) This is an Executive Protection education community: for those who wish to be discreet & employable. This is designed under the premise of "Training isn't what you did, it's what you do" Mix: ex-mil/LE, working operators, and civilian entrants - no exclusions on account of backgrounds. Core skills: routes, advances, comms; plus dress, posture, discretion and protection. This is an online environment and we don't claim to develop hard skills but we do offer free solid information. Culture: high signal, zero theatre. We protect reputations and people. Open resource: anyone may join to learn. Further access unlocks via merit (see Levels explanation at bottom). M — Mission (what you’ll achieve) 72 hours: learn the room, post intro, complete a module, ship one micro-deliverable like the route card. 30 days: mini-portfolio (route card, advance extract, comms plan) + live skills (SMEAC, driver brief, HOTO, AAR). Advancement: connect and communicate → unlock higher levels → access deeper reading, templates, clinics, and moderated jobs. Long term: become reliably hireable; contribute back to lift the standard. E — Execution (do this in order) Read Rules (pinned) - they're simple - be good, do good, share good. Post Introductions: background, city, clear 30-day goal. Classroom → Module 1 (Lessons 1–3): write your one-sentence EP definition. Calendar: schedule your training days, lock it into your own calendar with reminders, Do, Don't Dwell. Career & Portfolio: copy starter templates; version files (v01). Ship one artifact: Route Card (1 page). Give one specific improvement on a peer post, building the industry takes effort. Keep everything sanitised (no names, plates, faces, exact addresses). A — Admin / Logistics (how Skool works here) Events in AEST - 'cos I'm an Aussie; replays in event threads. Upload PDFs; redact; use versioning to show relevance and dates. Profile: neutral headshot; quiet headline; no client logos.

S — Situation This category sets tone and tempo. Most of you can already operate — what you need is a lane into EP that’s legal, employable, and low-drama. We want to know who you are, where you’ll first work (city/region), and what you’re actually chasing. Introductions here aren’t resumes or tall tales; they’re short, useful snapshots that help us match you to drills, mentors, and jobs. Where you operate from (Home Port) Where your good to go for work (Be Specific) What your background is (CivSec/Mil/LEO/Intel) What role do you love most in the industry Languages Spoken - Level: Fluent/Conversational/Basic Licenced/Unlicenced Education/Qualifications/Skills Remember: your words are part of your brand. Keep it factual, calm, and discreet. If you’ve served, say so briefly. If you’re switching sectors, tell us the pivot. No client name-dropping, no unit-patch tourism. Quiet confidence, mate. M — Mission The job is to declare your 30-day goal and the constraints we need to know. By the end of this post, we should understand your target seat (TL/Agent/Driver/Medic), your immediate availability, and your two biggest gaps to close. This lets us route you to the right modules, clinics, and peers. The goal isn’t applause; it’s alignment. When you put your intent on one page, we can give you the shortest path to a win. Keep it concrete: e.g. “Route cards by Friday, clinic Saturday.” By the time you finish Module 1, your intro should already be generating useful replies. E — Execution Post three lines: (1) Background & region (“ex-Infantry; Sydney”). (2) Target seat + availability (“Driver/Agent; nights/weekends”). (3) 30-day goal (“Deliver a mini-portfolio and nail a 60-sec SMEAC”). Add two gaps you’re actively closing (“advance photos, radio discipline”). Reply to two other intros with one practical suggestion each (resource link, module pointer, or template note). Then head to Classroom → Module 1 and do the first practical. People remember those who move quickly and help others. Keep your intro evergreen by editing it when your goal changes or you land a gig.

If you lurk here, you’ll fall behind out there. Skills fade. Minutes and metres bleed away. The quiet operators—the ones who show up, post work, take feedback—will take your shifts, your clients, and your future opportunities. That’s not drama; that’s how the game works. Welcome to the community built for capable, discreet professionals who treat protection as business continuity, not cosplay. This is where we turn experience into results: sharper briefs, cleaner routes, calmer arrivals, fewer headlines. Here’s the deal simple and ruthless in your favour: What you get - Templates that cut friction: advance, route card, AAR, comms. - Drills that fit real ops tempo (10–15 minutes, not fantasy camps). - Peer feedback that’s blunt, respectful, and useful. No chest-beating, no billboards. How we roll - Post your work, not hot air. - Protect client privacy like your licence depends on it, you'll be bounced if you breach NDA's. - Give one actionable note on someone else’s post for every thing you share. Your first challenge (today) 1. One-sentence definition of where you want to go with EP. Introduce yourself. 2. Comment rules: help another member reduce friction (one sentence, one fix). If you’re thinking, “I’ll start later,” later is when standards slip. Later is when someone else gets asked for by name. Later is when you realise you trained hard last year and it didn’t matter this year. Righto—step in, post your first piece, and introduce yourself with your target role (TL/Agent/Driver/Medic) and city. We’re here to make each other better and more employable, not to play dress-ups. If you want signal, you’re home. If you want noise, the internet’s that way. Start now. Keep going. Bring someone you rate. Because training is what you do, not what you’ve done.
