Such opposing jobs/careers.
It would seem that your passion/desire/job satisfaction/ etc... would at least least somewhat clearly lead you down one path or another.

As one poster commented....and this after knwoing quite a few FBI agents, if you think you are going to be home every weekend, weeknight, holidays, and important life event - you must be the 9-5 fingerprint analyst guy working at FBI HQ, not a SA out in the field actually doing investigative work.

My next door neighbor in Virginia Beach was a local FBI special agent. he mentioned some of the surveillence they had in place on occasion. he mentioned that he went along on a few flights. Hours and hours of turning left or right resulting in a sore neck!

I think if you want to be a LEO - then go FBI.
If you want to be a pilot - look elsewhere.
The only difference might be CBP where the two seem to merge nicely.
Porksoda might be one of them, and if so he certainly seems not to have enjoyed his time with the agency, but I know a few others who find it a very challenging and satisfying job combining aviation and law enforcement. I will say that I'm glad that I don't work with such a group of Federal employees as he describes - that would suck the life right out of a person.
