Didn't say if you had a degree (or I didn't see it). All Federal Agencies require BS/BA at a minimum. Also didn't catch branch of service. I was an Army MP for 2 years; Army CID for 6; and Federal Agent for the remaining 28. Just retired. Army has Civilian CID Agents; Navy has NCIS; and Air Force has OSI. The average Agent is making right @ $100 thou. No longer an easy jump from Military to FBI; ATF; USSS; ICE etc. Almost impossible the last 15 years or so. Only way is to go Sky Marshal; Marshal's Service or Bureau of Prisons to get foot in. Military and Fed get cost of living on pensions every year which state and locals do not. To keep in perspective, my father retired as a Major in the Army in 1956. He was then a high school teacher for 20 years and retired. At the time of his death 2 years ago his Military retirement was over $60 thou a year and his teachers pension was $7 thou.
