I say go for it.
...or you'll end up investigating corporate aviation fraud.
All that said, having dabbled in law enforcement before the military, I considered jumping to FBI or DEA mid-career. Glad I didn't, because the second half of the mil career was a hoot, but for that matter the road not taken probably would've been pretty cool as well.
Yes, I'm finding that there are some true benefits to having a job you can leave on the jetway... but everything comes with a price, and some experiences are worth digging in the pocket for.
