In addition i currently posses a geneva convention card which was issued through my company, and is to be carried on person while we operate in and out of U.S. military bases worldwide while supporting the military lift.

The only exception noted on the app. form was a waiver for time spent serving active duty overseas.

It seems to me that this would disqualify me in applying the way i read it. Does anyone have any input or knowledge about this matter as i would greatly appreciate the help.
You don’t speak to where you might not comply with the requisite residence time. Have you actually “resided” outside the US, or has your schedule simply had you flying overseas a lot?
