      The entire world of being a mercenary is so foreign to me I couldn’t even imagine how to begin finding a job in the field, but surely there are better merc jobs out there at this moment than going to the meat grinder for a military notorious for not paying their mercenaries

        start by being discharged from a regular army and wait for shady individuals/emails to hit you up. all the major companies aren’t real ‘soldiers of fortune’ just disavowable government assets closely attached to a national army & using its retired personnel
