I am very well positioned to help you with developing your resume for CBP opportunities advertised on USAJobs.gov. My business partner works for the Department of Justice. Message me to obtain additional information. With federal opportunities, you could possibly:
1. Receive a preference during the hiring process (5-10pt for most applications);
2. Buy back your military time towards retirement.
My company provides free resume critiques to all military service members. You can submit your resume to us via email or by using our secure online submission form: http://expertresumesolutions.com/freeresumereview/
or email your resume to: Info@ExpertResumeSolutions.com
Please allow 3-5 business days for completion. We use two different formats for corporate and federal applications. I can send you examples of each to get you started.

My brother-in-law has been in ICE and CBP for years; he has a beard. If the veteran beard is a deal breaker then maybe look into one of those?
From what I've been able to gather online, the US Border Patrol is part of a union. They fall under a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the National Border Patrol Council and Immigration and Naturalization Service. The latest version of the CBA is from 1995. The entire Collective Bargaining Agreement is available at http://www.nbpc2554.org/union-contract/. The grooming standards are available at http://www.nbpc2554.org/CBA/A29.pdf.
Grooming standards for hair are: "Head and facial hair, including sideburns and moustaches, shall be neatly trimmed and clean, and shall neither interfere with the wearing of the required uniform nor constitute a safety hazard or an impediment to the employee's ability to properly perform his or her assigned duties. Beards shall not be permitted, except for medical and religious reasons. Hair will not be worn below the outer portion of the shirt collar, nor
completely cover the ears, nor cover any portion of the eyebrows."
