Possess a current valid driver’s license

Qualify for the GL-07 level or the GL-09 level

The following are the waiting periods before visual tests are conducted after the surgery: Lasik surgery–three months; PRK–six months; and ALK and RK–one year.) Applicants must meet the vision requirement at the time of application.

Literal quote from the Website you linked to:

"That's all a man can hope for during his lifetime, to set an example, and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history."
- William McKinley (1897–1901)

While this is a good statement i wonder what McKinley hoped for in his short life time.

Its tough work, long hours, often uncomfortable environments all for low pay.

in 1983 my EOD team was temporarily detailed to the USSS. Interesting work, but I was glad it was temporary. Glamorous it ain't.

Massive respect for the USSS protective services, but they are on a long list of jobs I would never want.

I know someone who reckons his neighbour is in MI6 or something because when he comes round the house he says things like he is always being watched, and drops heavy hints about his 'work', suggesting that he's a spy

I call him Secret Squirrel, and I've told them that if this dolt really was a spy then they would know absolutely nothing about it

I think it's far more likely that he is an idiot

He accomplished a lot for a four year old.

I did enough standing around, and marching in the Air Guard, especially during training. No thanks.

Not too mention, i'm too damn old now.

My University Police Chief spent a career in the Secret Service before assuming the role of Police Chief here.

He's a super sharp guy. Has a lot of really cool stories.

The Air Force is plenty enough for me, but I have a lot of respect for the Secret Service guys.
