Seems like a waste of talent to me, and I'm not being facetious.

I understand. I'm just one of those guys that if not properly motivated, gets bored easily. I can say that even with my college courses. There have been a couple of classes that I find the lectures to be unnecessary since I do my own prep for the exams and still wind up with more than decent grades. I am always trying to find something else to engage myself in.....hence picking up target shooting, competitive skeet, trap & sporting clays....and things even really weird like building furniture from scratch, just to test my self. If my mind isn't stimulated it really sucks for me. I mean in the most extreme case, I read a Medical Microbiology Textbook for fun since I found it challenging. I never took a course for it, but still did the self tests at the end of the chapters.


Oh, and to the user who suggested Airfoce OSI...thanks. My dad brought that one up as well when we were talking.

Re: Considering Federal Law Enforcement Service...opinions?

Thanks for all the helpful the info. I have done work for the EPA but as a civilian contractor. Making money in the petroleum industry just isn't going to do it for me. Besides with what is coming down the tech pipeline for petrochemical industries, the job outlook by retirement age is grim. Im glad someone mentioned forestry service since my minor is in Wildlife management.


Hopefully everything will work out. I did kinda always want to try and become a US Marshal.

Considering Federal Law Enforcement Service...opinions?

Just wanted some opinions.

I'll finally graduate with a degree in Geology and Mathematics this year and I'd like to join some sort of Federal Law Enforcement branch(most require a Bachelors degree, planning on an upcoming Masters Degree). Anyone have any tips or opinions on the subject? I have stellar grades and don't really have any sort of skeletons in the closet. I just want to serve my country like my father did during Vietnam(USAF 380th Bombardment Wing). I considered Navy or Airforce OCS but that would be way to drastic of a change and you don't really get that many opportunities compared to Academy graduates.
