So a vet that gets in at 45 years old still has to theoretically do 20 years as a federal agent, which makes him 65 when he retires. This bridge has yet to be crossed as the vet waiver is a recent change. I think a change will come to this sooner than later. All of the other agencies such as FBI, DEA, etc, still have a mandatory retirement age of 57, and a max hiring age of 37... Understandably, I don't see the benefit in having a 60+ year old running around with a badge and gun...

I didn't see that last announcement. Was it recent?
What is your background and where would you hope to go if selected?

I'm an all C-130 guy. I have 2,000 hours and 1100 Turbine PIC. I put Houston as my desired base, but I'd like to migrate to the Jax base (either one).
I applied under the AIA vacancy that closed back in December. https://my.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/332215500
I'm in the job hunt phase and I'm targeting gov flying jobs flying jobs right now (namely CBP and FAA).

I think this would be the best job out there - job satisfaction wise of course
Update the thread with news as you get it if you would. It owuld be nice to get some current information flowing here.
Btw - I'm told there is a very active CBP thread over at the *other* aviation forum too (hint - has a bunch of army guys in it).
