Worked my way through college, well most of it as a commissioned SO. What kind of info are you looking for?

If it is how to get commissioned, the easiest way is to hire on a company with the stipulation they'll put you through. Otherwise Google licensed commissioning academies and get certified and then apply. Last I checked you cannot be "commissioned" until you are certified AND employed by a company licensed to provide armed security services.

Depending on your asignment it should be a pretty easy gig but it doesn't normally pay much more than minimum wage. Non-commissioned normally pays minimum.
