Will having 5.5 years of service as an MP in the Army be enough to get on with Customs and Border Protection?

No where in the basic qualifications does it say that you must have law enforcement experience. (I saw that you posted this in the CBPO forum after I posted my response, just in case you thought I was trying to be a smart ass.)
In order to be eligible for employment with the CBP, applicants must:
•Be a U.S. Citizen.
•Have a valid driver's license.
•Have resided in the U.S. for at least 3 of the last 5 years (military exception).
•Be eligible to carry a firearm.
•Referred for selection prior to your 40th birthday (waiver for veterans' preference eligible or those that have previously served in a federal civilian law enforcement position).
•Be willing to travel; you will be required to travel frequently. This job may require extended domestic and foreign Temporary Duty (TDY) assignments.
•Pass the application process (see details below).
