For all you guys who struggle figuring these things out, here's the correct pattern open bracket "[" followed by url=http://usajobs.com (the http:// is necessary) followed by close bracket "]" followed by whatever you want to put in the middle, followed by open bracket, /url and close bracket.

So - This is the url or usajobs.com or just type the url and the system will figure it out - not this usajobs.com but this http://usajobs.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks. Just edited my post to better describe the link.

I'll finally graduate with a degree in Geology and Mathematics this year and I'd like to join some sort of Federal Law Enforcement branch(most require a Bachelors degree, planning on an upcoming Masters Degree). Anyone have any tips or opinions on the subject? I have stellar grades and don't really have any sort of skeletons in the closet. I just want to serve my country like my father did during Vietnam(USAF 380th Bombardment Wing). I considered Navy or Airforce OCS but that would be way to drastic of a change and you don't really get that many opportunities compared to Academy graduates.

My brother went AF OTS and just retired as a General (BG Michael W. Miller). The opportunity is there without going the academy route just takes a lot of work to distinguish yourself.

I have a nephew who wanted in fed law enforcement. After much research he discovered the fastest way to get your foot in the door was Border Patrol. At first he dismissed this because he envisioned working a entry point. He ended up tracking for a living in some of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen. He's worked BP for 5 yrs and never worked an entry point.

He could transfer to about any agency he wanted but as he puts it, "I get paid to hunt, why would I want to do anything else?"
