  • Notify your references and send them the required form for them to complete and return.
  • Get the required physical examination.
  • Ensure that you have a current passport. Once you have been accepted, we will provide visa credentials for the country where you’ll serve.
  • Review the required immunizations and tests on the application and make an appointment with your local travel clinic.
