Any new NCIS news???

[AV1195]

Another question, what is the duration of the polygraph for NCIS. Is it similar to the NSAs lasting close to 5-6 hours?

[Classsic]

I think that depends. It was my first time doing one so it took me like 8 hours to finish. If you try not to hyperventilate it should take you half that. Hope it helps.

[AV1195]

Classsic What in the world could they possibly ask you for four - five hours? I get they’ll ask the same thing multiple different ways but Jesus.

[Classsic]

They have a list of criteria they go through, but like i said, first time taking a poly so i freaked out a bit, which definitely shows down the process. There was a lot of repetition on my part.

[AV1195]

Classsic thanks!

Good evening Ladies and Gents. Hope all is well. The new fiscal year is just a couple months away. I am hopeful things will start to progress for those of you in the early stages of the hiring process.

[Classsic]

Gosc1775 Have you had any updates on the age waiver? Also, I did a bit of research and found the FLETC schedule for FY19 and on that it says there's supposed to be a basic criminal investigator training class starting in mid September. I don't know if that's actually happening and honestly I'm not really expecting to hear anything until October/November anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there. In case anybody is interested in checking it out, link is below. Maybe someone with better knowledge of the program and scheduled can explain how things actually work.

Still waiting to hear something. It’s been a few months now so I hope I will hear something soon, if not, then I will continue to stand by. I’ve not reached out to anyone to try and confirm any school dates, but I am hopeful there will be one in October.

I got a call from my B.I. today informing me that my background process has begun. I was informed that they will be looking to fulfill the January class as of now.

[Gosc1775]

kb9977 That is good news. Best of luck the rest of the way!

Anyone have insight into if NCIS accepts successfully adjudicated polys from other federal agencies that were apart of a SSBI/Tier 5/whatever they call it nowadays background investigation?

No, they conduct their own BI and poly everybody, to include current 1811’s.

Has anyone had any movement since receiving COE? Got mine at the end of May and no communication since, any insight would be great, thanks.

[Gosc1775]

Today marks the end of the first week for the academy students at FLETC, whose training began this past Monday. For those in attendance and still on this forum, good luck on the rest of your training!

Hi guys,

Long time reader, first time poster. Just thought I’d share where I’m at —

7/21 — Sent in Resume & Transcripts to Code 10
7/22 — 9am received confirmation/receipt email
7/25 — Received the email giving me the OQ/Background packet, returned same day.

Does anyone know how many more SAs they are trying to hire? Are they looking at January 2020, or further out? Due to my personal circumstances I really won’t be able to move from my current location until December, so I’m trying to put my mind at ease that they don’t have “super rushed” intentions.

Also.. aside from the Medical exam, is there a PT test for NCIS as part of the process?

Appreciate any info! Good luck!

[Sgt0844]

Submitted my paperwork about a month prior to you. Haven’t heard anything since which could be a good thing

[Classsic]

Considering everything goes in your favor, you probably won't be starting the academy until January of 2021 it maybe September of 2020. I applied last October and was just placed in the hiring pool for possibility of starting January. Your timeline may vary, but these positions take time.

[Jagger3939]

Question for everyone -- when you emailed Code 10 your resume and they responded with the OQ/Background Forms, what was the "all documents due" date they gave you, and what was the date they sent you the packet? For me, I received the packet on 7/25 with a due date of 6/31 (which since there isn't a 31st day in June, I 'm assuming a typo meant for July 31st. I'm just trying to get a baseline on the turn around norm.

[Sgt0844]

Received documents 6/18, due by 6/24

[Jagger3939]

When you sent in your OQ, did they email back received — or was the next email you got the COE?

[Sgt0844]

Just a documents have been received email and that anything further needed they would be in contact with me

[Saber5]

Received my COE today, applied over 2 months ago.

Approximately 300 over the next 3 years and there is not PT test.

How do the promotions go? Do you promote through each grade each year, or do you have to stay at 12 for two years?

[Jagger3939]

I got the call for the March academy and the SABT after to be determined.

Do you know if they allow you to give your first/second/third choice as far as first assignment locations based on availability, or is it a straight blind assignment?

[cbp1363]

Your rank the field office regions in your order of preference. When they offer the job, it’s we have this location available, do you accept? I believe you rank 8, I’ve seen people get their first choice and other get their last. There’s no rhyme or reason for who gets what field office initially.

[Gosc1775]

cbp1363, how is FLETC treating you?

[cbp1363]

It’s easy, as long as you show up and give some type of effort you’ll be good.

[Saber5]

Credit Check ran today, 5 days after COE.

[Gosc1775]

Age waiver submitted on April 25. Reached out to HQ the other day and advised it was still in the process. For those of you waiting on a waiver, it appears to take some time.

[hound66]

GOSC- Hopefully I make it through the interview and end up waiting for the age waiver as well. My goal is to not wait quite as long as you though..

[Gosc1775]

I hope you do as well bro. Hopefully they don’t all take this long.
