Can an HS apply for assignment to CGIS which requires them to carry weapons?

• A. With waiver
• B. Not allowed
• C. Yes
• D. No

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that Health Services personnel can pursue law-enforcement billets that require weapon carriage. CGIS assignments include duties where carrying a weapon is a standard requirement, and there isn’t an automatic prohibition preventing HS members from applying. If an HS wants such an assignment, they would go through the same eligibility process as other candidates—demonstrating suitability, securing the necessary background clearance, and completing firearms qualification and ongoing weapons training. If they meet those requirements, being assigned to a CGIS role that involves carrying weapons is possible. Options suggesting it’s not allowed or only possible with a waiver aren’t consistent with how these billets are handled; the path is open to apply and compete for those positions.
