So.. you weren't even a rent-a-cop, you were a 14 year old volunteer.
How much of a security guard were you?
I made sure people didn't bypass the gates and/or run into the airfield.
lol what were u guarding the ball pit rofl
I got some pics, if you want to see them.

but you can't because you're 14 and people looking to do that won't listen to you

i wonder if op is lying

lol they hire 13 year old kids to watch the gates at the auto races. They have a no re-entry policy, but I always leave to go out to my car and have a beer or something during breaks. They give up after two or three attempts at getting my attention.

"i can't say much". there's nothing really secretive about air shows besides the fact of the chance of a terrorist attack. airport operations are pretty much closed anyways, it'd be more convincing if you said you were an airport security OFFICER in the event of normal airfield operation, but you volunteered, plus you're 14. this wasn't considered guarding if you were standing at a gate for no bypass, you were simply a gate marshal

Mayte, I've watched entrances/exits to Ubisoft exhibits and stopped people from stealing controllers and other stuff. I can promise you that it's not a "security guard" gig, and there's not much to it.

Who gives a stuff what you think his actual job was? Stop scrutinizing the kid. You're a couple ~20 year olds giving him stuff over something ridiculously trivial.


I was a security guard for an anime convention and it was also my first general convention. After that I never wanted to go to a convention again.

I hate conventions

Sorry guys for the delay. I'll get the pictures up after school ends. It was pretty cool, I got to see military aircraft and also the F-35 which was awesome.
