I have been considering LEO for years. While in Saudi Arabia I volunteered for SF augmentee duty and loved it. However, with 12 years of active duty under my belt, and a career in IT, specializing in network security, I'm not sure if money or enjoying what I do is best at this point.
Can anyone tell me how the retirement works, with regards to military service, and what, if anything, is transferred to LEO retirement? Will any of the years I have applied towards military retirement be considered. Again, my military specialty is IT, with about 4 months of Security Forces augmentee service back in 2001-2002. So I am by no means qualified as a LEO in the Armed Forces, but I am qualified on the basic weapons.
The AF is reducing enlisted force by 1.6% (about 4k) by 2012, and my enlistment is up in June 2011. That will put me at 13 years, so I have about a year to complete 4 classes for my Bachelors and figure out what the hell I'm going to do if I'm one of the involuntarily separated to meet manning numbers. I could take a civilian position, or even a contractor position making good money, but this may be the opp. I have been waiting for if it lines up, and financially keeps me in tune with where I am now.
Would they take an out of shape 52 year old?
Good luck!!! What is the date?
May 3rd for physical.
May 6th for written.
