   2. be completely available for assignment anywhere in the FBI's geographic jurisdiction,

   3. be at least 23 years of age but not yet 37 at the time of hire (due to the length of time it takes to test, process, and hire new agents, it is advisable not to begin testing if an applicant is over 36 ½ years of age),

   4. possess a valid driver's license,

   5. be deemed by the FBI's Chief Medical Officer to be physically able to engage in firearms use, raids, defensive tactics, and other essential functions of the job, and
