It would be a violation of the SCRA for you to be denied employment based on membership in the NG.

One of the LtCols in my unit works for FBI.

It&#39;s not a branch of the military. You can apply for a job if you meet their minimum requirements Cpl David Moore Wed, 26 Feb 2020 11:31:48 -0500 2020-02-26T11:31:48-05:00 Response by PO2 Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 26 at 2020 11:44 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-i-join-the-fbi-while-in-the-national-guard?n=5602168&urlhash=5602168 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you are a lawyer or CPA that should do it.

However the FBI frowns on &quot;moonlighting&quot;, which includes National Guard and Reserve membership. I ran into that back in 1980-81 when I was in the Reserves in OKC and working as a clerk in the Oklahoma City office of the Bureau. I eventually decided to stay in the military and leave the Bureau. You will also eventually have to make a choice. Good luck, whichever way you decide to go.

After my last deployment I was hired by the FBI. Since then I have retired from both the Reserve and the FBI. Great job, great organization! I had some difficulty explaining and getting military leave for drills and AT, because there hadn&#39;t been anyone working in the office who was in the Guard or Reserve for a looong time, and they didn&#39;t know how to do certain forms. After we figured that out, it was easy.<br />One warning, don&#39;t go in there all Hooah. The FBI has its own culture. Sit back and learn.<br />If you happen to get the job, and your office has the same issues, feel free to contact me. 1SG David Spalding Thu, 27 Feb 2020 06:26:10 -0500 2020-02-27T06:26:10-05:00 2020-02-26T09:16:05-05:00
