Hello

[Bentot56]

I'm Ben Lichtenberg the Director of Operations for Extreme Operations Protective Detective Services located in Manila Philippines. I retired from SEAL Team 4 in 1995 as a Cheif Petty Officer after 20 years, 4 with Marine Recon and 16 with SEAL Team. Since then I've been doing contract security work for Vance International, Blackwater, Washington Group International and others and just started a security business here in the Philippines with a friend specializing in high end protection services for multi-national corporations located in the Philippines.

Just happened upon this site looking for information on various EP subjects.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome aboard Ben, glad to have a connection from the South Pacific.

Vance International huh? Did you hear the news about Rocco Barnes? He and his unit were taken out by an IED in Afghanistan earlier this year... a tragic loss in the EP community for sure.

First I heard about it. I worked with Rocco in LA in '96. Sad to hear that.
