When you go undercover

I recently completed a private intel contract supporting DoD. Greetings Everyday Spy, I recently completed a private intel contract supporting DoD. Domestic contracts are by far the most common in the private intel industry, and there are thousands of former intel officers (known as IO’s) like me who get tapped to support them. A big part of which contracts we are invited to support and when is based on our intel specialty and our physical looks/fitness level. The bulk of the private intel industry is based in educating and training future field operators. While CIA is the premier Agency supporting worldwide operations at the direction of the President, other intel Agencies also have field operatives that serve in different roles. IRS has special agents that work undercover. NSA has field operators to support signals collection. And of course DIA has officers collecting key military intel anywhere US military assets are on the ground. Every one of these Agencies need intensive, real-world training that simulates the risks, pressures, and constraints of working in the field… that’s where I come in. I’ve served on the leading edge of HUMINT collection, joint military, and executive-approved covert action campaigns. That puts me in a small group of private IO’s that can teach, train, mentor and assess new recruits prepping for the field. As an added bonus, I’m also about 20 years younger than the average private IO, fit, and ‘ethnically ambiguous’. That gives me awesome access to support survival, evasion, surveillance, and interrogation training simulations. Private intelligence pay doesn’t work like typical commercial business. When you support the USG national security industry, there isn’t a lot of negotiating power or competitive pricing. Instead, you are kinda stuck accepting whatever the USG budget is at the time. For typical education/training intel contracts, it's common to earn $500-$800 a day (8 training hours) unless there is a pressing international issue affecting budgets. Contracts always include all travel expenses plus a daily per-diem rate that covers meals and incidentals. In the end, a 3-day USG contract can easily earn around $2,000; a week-long contract around $5,000. Then you can take the rest of the month off! Or you can jump from contract to contract - training some days, doing analysis other days, writing intel reports, consulting on CONOPS, etc. The work is good and the job is fun, assuming you don’t have anywhere else you’d rather be. Which is why so many IOs are over 60, retired from federal service, and NOT ethnically ambiguous (hahaha). If you are wondering the best way to get started in the private intelligence sector, the answer is to [start building your real-world intel experience now!]( I built EverdaySpy to simulate exactly what elite government training looks and feels like. And every course I offer is a powerful bullet on a specialized resume for future law enforcement, PI, and intel candidates. That’s why USG maintains my security clearance and invites me to train tomorrow’s operators. Only now, you have the chance to train just like them… Godspeed, #EverydaySpy P.S. - [Your life of adventure, meaning, and purpose is one click away.
