2010 – The Year in Review

As 2010 winds down I’d like to thank all of the readers and contributors of Bodyguard Blog for their support.  I’ll admit it was a challenge to run my agency, ICON Services Corporation, be an active Operator, and keep the Blog going on a consistent basis.  One of the things that helped, was constantly pulling in fresh content as well as realizing that I didn’t want Bodyguard Blog to be just about ME.

Some of our most popular post in 2010 were the Industry Spotlights, in which we cover professionals in the world of Executive Protection featuring:  The UK’s Shaun West, Old Soldier: Dave Marris, Sexton’s Jerry MacCauley, Mark James & Benjamin Alozie. (Look for more Female Close Protection Agents in 2011!)

In keeping with our philosophy that the Bodyguard Industry is more than just guns and take downs, we enlisted the aid of Protocol & Etiquette Coach Susanne Dancer to provide some lessons in the “soft skills” that would help us more effectively do our job.  You can find her tips on Protocol & Etiquette HERE.

And lastly, we all know that the job of VIP Protection is serious, but the people that do it, are just that –people, and can even crack a smile once in awhile — we introduced the very well received “Caption This” feature.  if you want to take a break from a stressful day and chuckle at humorous photos (and comments) click HERE.

Once again, thanks for  reading.   Big plans for 2011, so stay tuned!

Caption This Pt. 10

The weekly  ”Caption This” feature of Bodyguard Blog continues as we ask readers to supply their own witty comments to humorous industry related photos.  As you can see from this holiday edition, even Santa can’t escape the long arm of the TSA.

With that said, how would you CAPTION THIS:

Caption This Pt. 9

The weekly  ”Caption This” feature of Bodyguard Blog continues as we ask readers to supply their own witty comments to humorous Executive Protection / Military Themed photos.

A writer for a small town newspaper who was a little too persistent with trying to give President Barack Obama a letter was “forcibly” removed from a press area near Air Force One.  The manner of said removal, plus the crowd reactions, are ripe for another installment of our ongoing feature.

Fire away!

Caption This Part VIII

The weekly  ”Caption This” feature of Bodyguard Blog asks readers to supply their own witty comments to humerous Executive Protection / Military Themed photos.

Continuing our canine theme from Part VII,  a reader submitted this photo that was ripe for the “Caption This” treatment.  Not sure what’s really going on in this photo (staged or just an odd camera angle?) but I do hear dogs have pretty good vision.

“Caption This” Part VII

The reality is this photo depicts a German Shepard working with a British Soldier doing some very serious work. — Parachuting into Afghanistan on a covert mission to sniff out insurgents.    Seriously, read more about it HERE.

However putting that aside, you have to admit that this photo is begging for the “Caption This” treatment.

woof.

Here are Indonesian security forces hard at work (and doing what I’m sure is an amazing job).  With that said, this particular picture is begging for a “Caption This”

Let’s the puns begin.

Caption This IV

Some of you might remember the rather interesting “challenges” I had while taking a client to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup.  Well i’ve been saving this edition of CAPTION THIS for just the right time, as it summed up some (but not all) of the security present during the event.

Independent of that, I find the image itself pretty funny, so try your hand and add your witty caption for this photo in the comments section below.
