I’ve seen some offers online looking for people with military background. I wan’t to apply but I will be deploying next year (National Guard). I know the process can be very long so I could apply now and hopefully when I am back a lot of the process is already done. But I am afraid that, let’s say, the interview is scheduled when I am out of the country or things like that. So, is this a good moment to apply?
After many jobs, I decided to join. I will have to wait 2 years because I am getting deployed with the National Guard, but putting on the blue uniform is something I always dreamed.
I am a Staff Sergeant in the National Guard. Military veteran with 3 (and soon to be 4) deployments. I have a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. I can speak and write fluently in English and Spanish. I am a Military Police.
Will my experience, skills, and studies make any of the process easier to join? Will they open doors to special units or rank up faster?
The only thing that worries me is my age, since I will be about 35yrs old when I start the process. But it is something that I want to do.
