They pay you, but you have to get in. 1. They must be hiring at that time.( some years are boom, some are bust) 2. You must meet basic mental, physical and medical qualifications (since you are 11b I think you are good) 3. You must look like a good applicant in comparison to the others they have at the time (you are 50/50, since you are military go to college and/or become a cop to up your odds) 4. If all this is good there are some test and interviews... but if you got to this point as long as you don't mess up on the test or f up the interview you are likely to get in. You don’t pay for it. They pay you, but you have to get in.

I'll be 37 yrs going on 38 yrs of age at the time I get out. The requirements mentioned an exception for veterans. My question is at the time I get out (ETS) from the military I'll have 13 years served but looking to continue education going into criminal justice, so is it possible for me to apply for u.s air Marshall and given a chance of going through the training or is it a complete waste of time? And if I did go to college to get a degree in criminal justice my age will then fall in the early 40's how much will this impact my dreams of even becoming an Air Marshall or any federal law enforcement opportunity; career? Hoping to receive all positive feedback. From reading the requirements the age cut off is at 37, I’m currently 36 and serving in active duty military.

Fearing that there would be more airborne attacks, the government wanted as many air marshals in the sky. I personally know air marshals that did just that.

At the time I am eligible to retire, I will be 40 years of age. Due to previous military service, can/would the age limit of 37 be waived? I'm very interested in the career opportunity as an Air Marshall and would be honored to serve in such a capacity. If perhaps certain administrative documents were needed for granting an "exception to policy" waiver, I'd greatly appreciate any detailed information that could be given. Thank you.

The benefit is obviously the job. Since everyone had months of prep time prior to taking the PT test there should be no excuse to get less than good in any category. Also I have heard that at the end of the day when you are reffered for selections they fill school slots with people that have the best of the best... IE, best interview, best resumes, experience, and yes PT scores. The PT test is very important just like anything else in a job offer its effort that needs to get exerted for a benefit.

The reason being is because a federal agent in any department of justice job: I.E. DEA, ATF, FBI and the Marshals you have a mandatory retirement at the age of 57. So 37 is the age at which you can complete 20 years for your retirement. There is a lot of talk about making the feds retire at 65 and if so maybe they will up the age but most likely it will remain at 37.
