In keeping with my past couple of posts here on the blog the topic was industry regulation. Doug shared some good insight into the challenges to regulation as well as provided some insight into the various actions that are already underway. I hope you enjoy the program.

This week Rob Krott joined us on Combat Operator Radio. It was a great show! Rob is one-of-a-kind, a graduate of Harvard, a former U.S. Army officer and veteran of nearly 20 years of private military contracting. His book titled: Save the Last Bullet for Yourself was published in late 2008 and was met with great critical reviews. I encourage anyone interesting in security contracting to read this unvarnished story of what it’s like to work as a paid gun for hire.
It was a lively discussion on a range of subjects. Enjoy…

The topics were piracy around the Horn of Africa and also the Blackwater-to-Xe name change.
The audio was bad for my side as I was doing it VOIP. I hope you enjoy it. But, Leave a comment either way.
