    I like “contractor.” It doesn’t have a negative connotation.
    Contractor does sound better than Mercenary or Security Guard. I was actually a Domestic Security Contractor for 18 months. It was Homeland Security mandated/funded "Critical Infrastructure Protection" contract, through the local utility. I patrolled the dams, transmission lines, and powerhouses. It was 12 hour nights, 3 days a week. I put 300 to 350 miles a night on the Jeep 4x4, including the drive up and back into the mountains. Add to that the 140 mile round trip to Sacramento to pick up the patrol vehicle and the two and a half hour round trip, it made 15 hours and 450 mile days. The balance of the time was on one lane gravel or sometimes one lane blacktop roads. It was a good job, but tough on a 60+ year old body. I wore a Level IIIA tactical vest, an 1911A1 in a tactical leg rig, and aa long gun. Sometimes I carried my M1icon Carbine, and sometimes I carried a n AR15 M4gery.

    Considering it was an anti-terrorism patrol, Security Guard did not even come close as a job description.....
