Forum: Federal Questions

NOTE BY DMC: This topic of mandatory fitness testing has come up time and again. I have cited OPM's decisions and wanted to put out what FLEOA's position is on mandatory fitness testing. I'm sure there are those (I among them) who disagree with this position, but here it is. Oh, and don't get...

Okay, this may be a long shot but figured it was worth asking. We all know you're better off being involved in a shooting than abusing your GOV. However, has anyone found a way to justify taking your GOV to grad school classes after work? Thinking along the lines of paid training (agency...

Anyone heard any grumblings as to what the new badge for HSI will look like?

Next week is my turn in the hot seat...anyone else got any movement? Seems kinda slow around the interwebs on the USSS hiring front.

what is the order is it the test then medical, background then the polygraph or is it another way around? for the medical exam do they do their own or do they look at my medical records? *********** (if i get disqualified on any part of the process could i reapply the next year?)

Hey all, Saw we needed a new thread and had some time on my hands so HERE WE GO!

I've seen some old posts on here about DS 2501s trying to lateral over to ICE and am hoping for some insights from any members who have actually gone all the way with the process. It seems like the current announcement and those from the past are worded very specifically so as to exclude DS 2501s...

Has anyone applied to the announcement that just opened up?

Anyone on here currently working as a Nuclear Materials Courier for the Department of Energy? I applied to the last announcement in March and recieved an email stating that I meet the innitial requirements, and now they are currently reviewing applications to see which applicants are highly...

Last board was closed for some reason. June ICE class is filled. Next class July 26. Good luck to those in T&S.

Got an email yesterday asking if I was still interested... Will the wheels start turning again? Who knows... :o

I have recently accepted 2 offers for federal police agencies. One has began my BI and the other one will be very soon. I was wondering if anyone thinks this could end up being a problem. I did speak with the first agency I accepted with and they told me its ok as long as there agency wasn't...

Does anyone know how AFOSI is making job offers for this last announcement (10-02 GEN-A)? I'm trying to get an answer to the following questions: 1. When they call to officially offer you the job after passing the medical, 110 and drug test, do they give you more than one location to chose from?...

I am interested in taking the DS SA initial online screening test. Has anyone here done it before? what is it about? any advice/tips?

I just received information that DEA 1811 Hiring (and likely Diverson and Intel Analysts) is FROZEN/STOPPED until further notice (starting ??? today I guess). I have no additional information to offer at this point. FYI

Hello all, I have been fortunate enough to have several interviews so far (no offer as of yet) based on the USA jobs process. HOWEVER, I seem to get kicked out of the process quickly when using applications that use RESUMIX; most notibly with the Army/CID process. I know I am qualified,...

I can't tell you who authored this, I don't know. . .but I like it very much. :D Federal Law Enforcement Jobs The Magic Bag of Poo I am writing this to explain in succinct terms what it’s like to be a Federal Agent in a realistic, non-Hollywood format. I am frequently approached by...

Can't seem to find an answer to this question. If I am hired on through FCIP at GS-9 with promotion potential to GS-12, can promote up if I'm still within the 2 year FCIP. I was told that the FCIP for this position is two years and I qualify for GS-9. With any other position (non FCIP) one would...

Has anyone heard anything lately from the last NCIS announcement for special agent? I received an email asking for additional information for the local FO to do initial checks, and that was the last peep I've gotten from them.
