REMINDER:

Helios Security and Risk Group IS NOT A REAL private security contractor company. This blogsite is created for our Airsoft Group which focuses on imitating PMC's and their lifestyle in general. We are also not affiliated with any real company offering private security services in the Philippines, United States, UK, and Middle East. The pictures you are seeing here all "make-believe" scenarios for our Airsoft games. The guns you are seeing here are all 100% replicas and they do not fire live ammos.

I have been receiving a couple of E-mails from legitimate individuals looking for a similar job and if we are hiring. Good luck gentlemen on all your endeavours and always check your six.
