Air Marshal Question: Please answer if you know about this career?

Question

okay...so I really really really want to be a Air Marshal and I read that 15 days out of each month they are on "duty" and sit nonchalantly on planes waiting for crime/terrorist threats. Well what do they do or the other 15 days out of the month? I cannot find it anywhere. If you find a GREAT website that explaisn my question, please site it..I will give the best answer to the person that helps me the most and gives the most information.

Answer 1

I don't know about the15 day thing. I know a bunch of people who got into it when it first started. They all hated it. The hours were terrible, the bosses knew nothing about real air security or law enforcement and they were treated like children. More then one got a life threatening embolism from sitting on the planes so much.

They all quit after a year or so.

Answer 2

Dealing with paperworks, and bureaucracy

Answer 3

I would assume they would work out of some "base" The other 15 days of the month.... email me if you need to know anymore!
