Thank you for your interest in joining 1st Amendment Praetorian

We are a group of Americans with one common commitment: to protect and defend the United States of America, our Constitution, our patriots, and our distinguished history and future as the last free Republic on Earth.

You have found us because you know, as do we all, there are enemies, both foreign and domestic, who are determined to destroy it. As you can guess, they have already tried, and continue to try, to infiltrate this organization. For this reason, we are vetting every patriot who wants to join our cause.

We take this responsibility very seriously, and treat all information with the utmost discretion, using it on a need-to-know basis ONLY. We recognize that your current or former roles in life may restrict your ability to answer some of the following questions, though we ask that you complete as many as possible.

We will try to work with you to honor your oaths and obligations within the framework of this vetting process, and we thank you for your cooperation.

As a matter of security and to protect you, our members, and the organization, we conduct background investigations on all members. This includes, but is not limited to, social media searches, email address verifications, criminal background checks, human rights violations worldwide, and military service checks. Information will NOT be released to any other organization.

Your submission of this application implies that you consent to a background investigation. Should you require documentation to explain or provide mitigating circumstances for detrimental information in your background, please include this information up front.

Our organization is comprised of a wide range of people with a wide range of backgrounds. Honesty and proactive communication will allow us to resolve any misunderstanding. Should you choose not to provide all requested documents, we may be unable to fully complete your background investigation.

Have you ever been arrested and/or currently under criminal investigation or awaiting trial?

On a scale of 1-5, 1 being lower, and 5 being higher, how would you rate your current physical capability? (This is to help us use your skills as safely as possible for you and your teammates)

If you have served in the military, please specify in which branch(es), MOS, and rank:

If you have served in law enforcement, please specify in which agency(ies) and capacity(ies):

If you have served in one or more intelligence agencies, please specify in which agency(ies) and capacity(ies):
