I am interested in knowing how to do this. I am particularly interested in hearing from someone who has been a courrier, telling me how he or she actually became one. Also, what is it like. Many people ask me if I might be transporting contraband or other illegal things if I were to become a courrier. I would appreciate anyone out there who has had this sort of experience to respond to my question. Thank you.

Ok after reading the other responces i felt that i had to chime in.\n\nIf the army would take you for a combat arm position.\nI am afraid that they would not, But the army needs good americans for civilan positions. The postings a civie can have are alot of fun and help our soldiers in their fight. \n\nPostings are open all over the world.\n\nIf you look at www.cpol.army.mil it will show all of the open jobs with the army. If you would like to work for the government in an other capacity then check out www.usajobs.gov . \n\nAs far as the army screwing up your life i beg to differ.\n\nI am a vet. I work for the army. The army has given me everything good in my life. They got me off drugs and out of a voilent place in my life. They gave me pride and purpose. they gave me an idea of what i could be if i pushed myself. They showed me the world and paid me for it. They let me shoot stuff and basicly run around like life was a video game. They taught me to be safe and to look out for my buddy at all times. They gave me my brothers and sisters who are closer to me than family. They introduced me to my wonderful wife and have moved me to europe twice.\n\nI have to say that military service will give any young man or woman character and values that they need to truely grow up. \n\nIt's not just a job or an adventure but it is a family. Brothers and sisters in arms.\n\nIf this interests you then please check out the website. Call and talk to the recruiters and get your life started out right.

if you want a carrier or certified carrier go to the customs house and they know who can carry your merchandise. The carrier will probably be bonded and have a good reputation

ive heard that if you are an officer you had to request discharge in writing. in your case go down with a bunch of friends say ,"give me the papers" and dont say anything else. call ahead make sure they have the papers and have them identify the papers while your on the phone [ dd214, whatever,etc] if you didnt sign anything to reserve a job i think its bs... anyway i enlisted way back in '66 and ever since i've thought recruiters are a bunch of low life blood sucking cowards... especially the young ones who should be out there doing the fighting if thats what they believe in ... and i dont care if they already did 2-3 toures ..instead of "hustelling" young impressionable children into  a possition where they may have to kill for a living.. and live [ if they're luck] with it for the rest of their lives... hey if you want i'll go with you to sign the papers! they piss me off lieing punk cowards that they are .they used to get paid commision .. i dont know about now.. if you think about it they are the worst kind of child molesters!

I'm 26 now but when I was 23 after college, I went to Europe by myself for 3 months on buddy passes and a little bit of money. I stayed in Hostels, was threaten by Columbians that they were going to slash my throat and throw me in the Rhine river (passes through Paris, France). Some of my stuff was also stolen at one point. And I almost did not have enough money to come home. But I met great people, went to about 30 different places, went to many bars, nightclubs, sites (Sistine Chapel... amazing!) I will never forget that experience. My only thing to you is be safe. I am a guy and had to watch my back alot. Have a blast but be careful. Take everything in because it will make you a better person.

I don't know how it works in your country but here in the USA if you get a ride from the police to the the police station they have arrested you... wether or not they hold you and is up to them but you can be certain that at the time of the ride you were told your rights and in fact arrested maybe not charged but arrested. So I would get a Visa to be safe and Hell yes we would find out right away. I know people always refer to us as Dumb Americans but playing and being dumb are far different my friend!!!!

Its not as bad as everyone thinks it is...sleeping arrangements are depending if you are an officer...a chief...or a seaman...Depending on all of that. You'll sleep in "bunks" if you're enlisted...and you'll get a room if you are a high end chief and officer. Mess Hell (cafeteria) has everything you could ever ask for...soda machines...all that fun stuff...and the menu the chef cooks up is what YOU want to eat...they will poll weekly depending on each squandran wants and desires...and will plan the menu accordingly. When you're out on sea cruises...its kind of hard to get personal time...but you'll have your watch hour..included into your actual "job"...but each night..I found about 1 - 2 hours to actually sit down and play with a couple friends...or talk online to family and all. Get my Biz done. When you're ship port...you can have leave...and you may have 1 - 2 days on your own as your own free time and are allowed to roam the city...but there are days where you have to work on board...so it honestly depends on your rank...and your work title...and how high up you know in your chain of command ( its best to know the chiefs and officers on the ship you're deployed on...trust me lol. )...as an officer in the Navy...for 18 years...I've grown to know that if you work hard...the more days off you'll get from your superiors...and so on. If you need anything more...or more info...or even chiefs / officers on board any ship...feel free to IM me...I know lots...and I'm pretty high up myself...but then again...haven't been on a cruise in about...6 years lol. Hit it up. \n\n\nCaptain Matthew McPherson Jr.

OK, It was a long time ago. The Orange County Sheriffs Dept. in California. About 250 people applied and took the written part. of that only 50 people made it. Then it was off to the physical test. It was a cake walk. About 2 weeks later I had to show for a verbal interview. Before the interview they gave me a stack of paperwork to do. Lots of questions, Too many questions. Questions about drugs, date, time and place. Questions about sex. Date, time, place and who. questions about family and their friends.\n After all that. It came down to the interview. A big cop told me in the interview, That my job history was too short and I didn't look like I wanted to be a peace officer by the fact I never was in the explorer scouts and never took any law classes. (nevermind I just got out of the Marine Corps) Needless to say, I didn't get the job. Now i live a life of crime. lol\n\nReally.......good luck

I EAS'ed in May, 2005.  I am currently finsihing college and have a very nice beard.  My time is my own and I do what I wish (no training days, no formations, no JOB/wall locker inspections.  I "PT" more than I did when I was in, but now it is because I want to, not because I have to.  I was an MP and worked about 60+ hours a week.  It is great being a civilian.....EXCEPT I really miss it.  For everything I hated about the Corps, I am now finding there is something I Love and now miss.  My wife and I have no medical insurance, no BAH, nothing.  The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, I know.  But I seriously am considering getting back in (but probably OCS).  \nDo whatever you wish, but please take into consideration all that I have mentioned, and more, if you have not already.  Or course, if you do get out, you can always go back.

I had a friend in the same situation ... and she had to prove financial eligibility ... her husband was from Scotland, and it all ended up with the two of them having to move there ... he had a degree like your husband, but nothing helped ... makes me see red, when you think about all the millions of people just clomping in over the southern border with their demands ....   I think it also depends to a large extent on where you will be interviewed ... seems the immigration officers can make a diffrence if they want to ....

First I am not sure how you can do it and be in the military ?\n\nAnd I am not sure that the army will want you doing it , do you have to get any off duty job approved by your commander ?\n\nbut basicly you talk to various bail bondmen about hiring you to do bail enforcement for them.  They may have you help with another enforcement agent, since most work in teams.\n\nYou will spend hours and days and often several days hunting down someone who has skiped out on his bail.  You will have to be able to follow where they go, and spend alot of time watching various houses and places they go out to.\n\nYou don't make any money unless you find somone and bring them back.  So you can work a few weeks and find no one and all your expenses are on you.\n\nAnd by most police they are not considered law enforcement.

First off, most of the people on here are idiots. Top Gun was a movie about the Navy and actually "Top Gun" no longer exists, at least not as it used to...(a new name, a new base).\nSecondly, the Navy was great. You will have a sea/shore rotation depending on the rating you choose. As an AO, my sea/shore was 4/3 (I think). After boot camp and "A" school, I went to my first duty station and luckily got shore duty in Nevada. It wasn't always a picnic, but for the most part I enjoyed it. I never did go on a ship, I got off active duty after four years to move to Virginia with my husband (who was also in the Navy). I did stay in the reserves and had a great time being a full time reservist (I worked about 200 days out of the year) and even did a few deployments to the middle east, which were lots of fun (and hard work). \nAs for the ships...when you are on sea duty, you'll have 6-9 month cruises and work-up periods in between those. You'll just work on the boat while in port...you won't to LIVE on the boat unless you are low rank and single. While you're on cruise, you will stop in ports around the world. It's not as if they keep you locked on the boat for 6 months straight (unless you do something very bad in a port!)\nIf you choose Navy, I'd suggest a rating like IT that will translate well into civilian life! This website: http://www.spear.navy.mil/profile/profile/jan01/pages/Navy.html has some good information and briefly describes each individual Navy rating.\nGood luck and I hope you have a good time in whatever branch you choose:)

I have a close friend who has been in law enforcement for over twenty years. He says he almost always asks people why they committ crimes. I have asked him before what scammers say. He says they often say if people won't think and realize their being scammed that they deserve to be victims. Maybe not true of all scammers, but mostly the ones he's spoken with.

Yes, I have an idea what it is like, as I have worked with them in the past.  1. You have to be bilingual. They prefer spanish, as they normally put you on the mexican border to start. You will be sitting in an SUV patrolling the border looking for people sneaking across the border, and drug interdiction. You will apprehend them, book them, and take them back to the border, etc. You will be doing reports and court appearances just like other law enforcement officers. Hope this helps..
