However, we usually recommend that candidates who are active military wait until they are about a year from separation to start the application process with the Border Patrol. If you are so enthusiastic about becoming an Agent that you would like to start the process much earlier, apply on-line through the Border Patrol website and upon successful registration, you will need to contact Minneapolis Hiring Center (MHC) and work out the details on a case by case basis.
