Airplane Repo Woman

When an individual or company falls too far behind on their airplane payments, the bank calls in an airplane repo man.



Airplane repo men/women do almost exactly what other repossessers do, except that they repo planes instead of cars, trucks, vans, boats or other things.

Airplane repo men/women have to have a pilots license.

Airplane repo men/women make 6 to 10% of the resale value of the plane.

Women Undercover

       In 1978 there was a case about human smuggling. A woman who was undercover went to a bar that was known as a hub for human smugglers. She pretended to be a Mexican trying to be smuggled into the USA. They made her swim across a river and stay in a room with dozens of others who were waiting to be smuggled into the USA. She convinced them to stop at a gas station where she gave the cashier a napkin with the phone number of the agency. The cashier then called the agency and the cops came and arrested the smugglers.

         When thinking of undercover agents most of the time people think about men, but there are women undercover agents too. People don't usually expect women to do this job. Women undercover agents flirt and mess with guys emotions to get them to give out information.

It's not easy to become an undercover agent though.
  1. First you need to go to college and get a degree in criminal justice or a criminal justice field.
  2. Find the place where you want to work including the FBI, CIA, or a police station (usually doesn't require a degree, but would give you more of a chance to get the job.)
  3. You have to take the TEA examination(Treasury Enforcement Agent.)
  4. Next, you have to pass a series of very in-depth interviews.
  5. You also have to pass a polygraph test about previous jobs. This test is to ensure that you keep private information, private.
  6. Along with that you have to pass a background and drug test.
  7. You have to pass several health tests and be determined as "physically fit."
  8. Once you're accepted you have to do 10 weeks of all kinds of training.
Requirements
  • You must be a U.S. citizen.
  • You must be between 21 and 37 when you have your appointment.
  • You must have a valid drivers license.
  • You must have good vision.
  • You must possess a bachelors degree in a criminal justice Field,from an accredited (well known) college.
I plan to be in the FBI when I get older. I love helping people and making a difference. I can block out my emotions which is critical for doing any type of public safety work. It's not easy to get into the FBI. It is a challenge to get in that good of shape. I recommend working out 6 times a week for at least an hour. That includes running and weight lifting.
