    Might be jumping the gun but today went to renew my TWIC card and the question on "involuntary committed to mental facility"(answered no) might be a disqualifier depending on the wording of my medical chart for a one time admission/committment(?) a couple years ago.(I should know more next week but in the mean time I'm exploring other options.

    Why would you need to train? You already got 25 years under your belt.
