Veterans

CBP Officer Black/Army Veteran
"CBP was a natural transition from military service for me. CBP has allowed me to continue to serve in a uniformed, goal orientated atmosphere that respects my status as a veteran. I have found a place where my skills and experiences are not only welcomed but desired.”

Border Patrol Agent Adams/Army Veteran
"After serving in the U.S. Army, first on active duty and then the reserves, I wanted a career that was structured and provided that same sense of esprit de corps. The United States Border Patrol (USBP) has given me that and more. After 20 years in the Army and 21 years in the USBP, I can truly say both have been rewarding experiences that I will continue to be proud of.”

Air Interdiction Agent Gayle/Army Veteran
"I served in the U.S. Army during Operation Desert Storm. During that time I took advantage of the GI Bill. Doing so helped me pay for my college and pursue my ambitions of becoming a pilot. The education I received using the GI Bill opened the door to a career with CBP Air and Marine Operations flying helicopters, airplanes and jets. CBP has given me the opportunity to utilize the training, skills and education I acquired while enlisted in the Army. I’m enjoying a great career flying and I hope to share this opportunity with others.”

CBP Officer Rowe/Marine Corps Veteran
"There was a large gap between my time in the Marine Corps and starting my career with CBP. However, CBP afforded me the opportunity to once again serve my country and contribute to the success of our great nation. I have found that my success with CBP has been mostly attributed to my experience in the Marine Corps."
