Legend of the Mall Ninja

[toreskha]

Ever wonder where the phrase "mall ninja" comes from? Here's your answer.

It’s okay for me to talk about my job, as long as I’m not specific. I am the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America’s largest indoor retail shopping areas.

We meet at the range every night and shoot 400 rounds each through weapons that closely resemble our duty setup. We also practice unarmed combat. I am a Master of three martial arts including ninjitsu, which means I can wear the special boots to climb walls. I don’t think any of you are working as hard as I am to be prepared.

:laugh: :laugh:

I am glad that there was a disclaimer about not being responsible for coffee or any other fluids escaping my body, that was damn funny, I don't care who you are! HA!

 

[Scarecrow]

being prepared is great... trying to act like a super hero is just stupid.

33% not good, but not bad either. phew! guess I shoulda studied better! I tried to read the article after the fact> too much reading, too little time. Will try l8r. Good stuff though! Gotta put a link there from my facebook.

 

[RobdnBulverde]

You scored 35% on Personae, higher than 55% of your peers. I am not sure to be happy or sad a this point. :sarcastic:

 

[R&M]

Damn this is scary, 57% and we don't even have a mall!

Wow, I can't even read through all of that. As a security officer in the state of FL, sadly I have to work with people much like Gecko45 occasionally. They usually end up getting fired for sleeping on the jobsite, and/or using excess force to deal with a situation.

I work class D security (unarmed), and most of the sites I work are condos, outlet stores, and bars. Here in Panama City Beach, getting into a physical fight and having weapons involved is frequent during the tourist season (Spring Break) but nothing to be overly concerned about if you keep your head on straight. A good security team has each other's back and responds to a call quickly and in force. (without rifles, ninja boots, and body armor)

 

[gdcleanfun]

53% and we don't have a mall either! My bad!

You scored 53% on Personae, higher than 90% of your peers.
