Toyoda Automatic Loom Works was an engineering manufacturing company established in the 1920s by Sakichi Toyoda (1967-1930), the son of a successful carpenter hailing from Shizuoka prefecture, in Japan’s Eastern Coast. Its Type G Automatic Loom was the most advanced industrial machine of its kind at the time, a fact which would be enough to grant it a place in Japan’s industrial history.
I've been under the impression that most mercenaries start as official military and then find their way into other employ after "graduating" so to speak. Is that accurate? Maybe a US-skewed perception?
It's common in many countries with large, well trained militaries, especially for the better paid mercenaries of big companies like Triple Canopy etc.
Still, you can find people going directly to security and PMC jobs. In countries where there is mandatory service or active conflicts this is especially frequent.
There are already companies providing quality training for civilian candidates without the need for a military background, and this will become more frequent as the industry grows.
