Hello from Virginia Beach

Greetings everyone!

I found this site through another forum while looking for information about becoming a Federal Air Marshal. I'm 26 y.o., FINALLY graduating with my bachelor's degree in 2 months, and currently work for an architecture firm as a business manager. I look forward to this forum, and getting to know everyone here, and of course, learn!

Cheers!

Howdy. Glad your at RP. Be Safe.

I know a lot of good people who are or were FAMs, but haven't met but just a few who were happy doing the job for more than a few years. If you don't mind me asking, why leave a likely lucrative job in architecture to constantly fly and be away from home?

I'm just a business manager, I don't draw bunches of random colored lines with the computer machine and call it a building. HA!

I'm starting to look for a new job now, because odds are I won't have this job by this time next year. My firm does work with DHS/CBP and I was talking to a CBP agent who was telling me about FAMs, and I figured it was worth looking into. From what I've seen so far, I'm interested. I figure, I'm still single with no prospects, not making a lot of money here, don't have a really good reason to stay in the area, I want to serve my country somehow, and I really don't mind flying and being put into situations that make most people insane, if that makes sense. I'm just trying to get as much info about it now as I can.

Hi and welcome to RP.

When you are with FAM come and visit Germany! It has a few nice places (besides bavaria)

An welcome from another guy from the "far away continent". And like PVB said, we have some nice places to visit and some great beers to drink

In that case, best of luck. FAMS is probably a better life for the single man than one with a family. If you like it, great. If not, it's still federal law enforcement, so it will open doors to you.
