"If you have some significant time, look into customs/border protection...they hire experienced pilots without any LE background. A couple years at a regional should meet their mins. You can eventually fly BOTH fixed-wing jets and blackhawk helos. Fun-factor is off the scale."

There is a good on the CBP over in the military forum - check it out if interested. It is very competitive right now as are most positions and although they may have had a history of hiring certain types in the past - it seems to take some military or LE experience currently to score high enough to be considered. I'm sure there are exceptions - but that is the current trend it seems.

Now.....back to WO/CWO to Commissioned Officer programs - pros and cons.
