"Well Strick, you are right about the stereotypes, I'm just not so sure one needs Special Forces training to run a cafeteria."

I can think of a bar in HMS Neptune (RN Submarine Base, Faslane) where such training might be considered, if not essential, as coming in damn handy.

Generally ex-military specialist personnel find a whole variety of jobs where their skills are required to provide security. The companies they work through are licenced and vetted. Within my own industry currently some are employed onboard vessels and construction barges off the coast of west Africa, to provide security against pirates. Same firm provides armed security onboard vessels carrying nuclear cargoes.
