So my husband and I had been thing about what career he was going to transition to when he got out of the military. We discussed California Highway Patrol(CHP), Border Patrol(BP), and Texas State Trooper(DPS). All of these departments are on a hiring freeze due to the economy so we had to look at other options. We were on the path of going for Federal Prison Guard at a Maximum Security prison. I was not really liking this idea since it is very dangerous to go and be guarding murderers on life sentences. So anyhow I was learning to deal with this idea since it was the only place that was hiring in law enforcement at the time.
Well last night I got a call from a friend of ours who is currently a BP agent. He told me that they were hiring for a limited time. I went online and did the application for my husband and got him scheduled to take the written exam. Her and her husband have been looking out for when hiring is open since this was my husbands 1st choice as a career out of the military! I am so thankful for friends that look out for us and are going to be there for us into this transition.
If anyones husband is looking for transitioning from military to civilian life and want to go BP here are a few military perks.
If you are prior military you can claim veteran eligibility for 5 points
If you have a purple heart or will claim disability you can claim for 10 points.
These points will go towards your oral board which you will need to get a total of 100 points to be hired and go to the next phase. So you will have a 15 point advantage off the bat.
So now I have to help me husband study what he needs to take this written exam so that we can have a career path to follow with excellent benefits and income!
FOR GOD A THANKFUL PRAYER
A THANKFUL PRAYER JUST BECAUSE... THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING ALWAYS NEXT TO US.
Today is a special day. Today I feel connected to my source. Today I feel that I am a step closer to what I should and will become. No need to ask for favors, for I know everything comes when the timing is perfect. TODAY, LET US THANK GOD TOGETHER!
