When applying for a 6c position does the applicant have to be under 37 at the time of appointment or prior to completion of the federal academy?

It happens when there's a great need by the agency to fill spots. FAMS did it a few years back (I believe right after 9/11). I'd venture to say many - if not most - of your 1811 agencies won't have to do this, as they never seem to be hurting for applications from qualified candidates.

Forget the S/A jobs and come to CBP. You can be 65 and still hire on as an Officer.. I know because I have back up that probably would die if they had to walk at a fast pace to assist me. When I was in the academy we had two people die from heart attacks :rolleyes:... Gotta love this job!

Switchback--Thanks that's what I thought. DARN!!!

The problem with Border Patrol is the wife doesn't like the southwest and I barely speak English so Spanish would be out of the question.:D Customs seems interesting though.

Thanks for the replies.
