December 24, 2007, 5:45pm (report abuse)To increase the number of agents to be more vigilinat against terrorist activities, I personally feel the age limit should be raised to atleast 40 with a mandatory retirement at the age of 60. later in the individuals career they will more than likely be in a management position to pass along knowledge and training to younger agents. I vote for the change.....

May 27, 2008, 7:29am (report abuse)To comply with the 911 commission and recruit enough Agents to fight terrorism this bill would increase the number of qualified applicants. I am a Marine Corps Veteran and a Police Officer with 16 yrs experience, but I just turned 37 and am no longer eligible. I would like to join the fight on terrorism please pass this bill and allow me to assist in protecting America

June 11, 2008, 1:35am (report abuse)I’m approaching 20 years of active military service and will be applying for retirement within the next 12 months. When I leave the military I will have a degree in Search and Rescue, a second degree in Criminal Justice (Law Enforcement) and 20 years of leadership and management experience. However, current age limits restrict my ability to continue serving my country in a new profession. Passing this law would allow me to continue serving in a profession I have chosen rather than settling for what I can get.
Injured Agent
October 8, 2008, 2:36pm (report abuse)This bill would greatly assist those of us who have been seriously injured in the line of duty and who have devoted our working lives to protecting America's great citizens. We do not have a PAC nor are we many in number. It is up to the Congress to take the right step here-PASS THE BILL and stop letting it sit. Serve the people of America and not foreigners.
Spec Ops
November 8, 2008, 7:55pm (report abuse)I will retire in 5 years with 20 years of Spec Ops experience in both the Army and the Air Force. I will be 43 and would love to continue serving the country I love. While I could continue in the military, I would like the opportunity to serve in a civilian capacity for another 20 years. Thanks!
