Kevin Kline Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 This is the first time I have seen the qualifications needed for Air Marshals and their firearms proficiency. I was given an application for the Air Marshals and after looking at it, respectfully declined. Being a LEO, I was told by my PD that the FAA representative said they were looking for dedicated, motivated (get this) "shooters." They were particularly looking for good LEO backgrounds and excellent shooting skills. I declined due to the fact that I am not to thrilled about being gone for a minimum of 2 weeks at a time straight and not being able to have contact with my family and when I do, it is extremely limited and short. My kids mean too much to me not to be able to see them everyday and be with them while they grow up. Also, not to thrilled about going to foreign countries with unstable governments, economy, and poor sanitation and health conditions. Also while away on these details, you are working 24/7.
