OK - a friend of mine says that the maximum age for joining the FAM program is now 40, not 37 as it was previously.

Does anyone know for a fact what the actual age is, and does anyone have any information or experience with the FAMs? Just curious...

 

i beleive thats correct. 40 is what it is for border patrol. i know when they first started, people in the job were hating it. a lot of people who jumped out of the border patrol or customs to become air marshalls were trying to go back.

 

i have a friend of a friend that just quit the air marshalls this year. he was gungho at first but aftetr a couple years just burnt out.

 

I also have a friend that's an air marshall and is totally burned out. But the money is good.

My step daddy worked for TSA and applied for the air marshall program (ex. spec. forces) They said too old for air marshall (56) But would be fine to train the recruits.
