I'm going to call a recruiter and see if this is possible. I'm a current fed employee as a U.S. Probation officer with a total of 7 1/2 years of pobation expriense fed and local. We are considered "LE" only under fed statute but some of the training is LE oriented. Firearms, DT, etc. I hope there is a waiver...this is a dream job.Comment

From time of start of application to offer from CID HQ was approximately 9 months. When my packet was submitted to CID it took about a month to get the acceptance memo from HQ. From start of app to ship date for training will be almost exactly a year. Process was pretty easy and straightforward. I am very excited to start this new career and adventure. "Do what has to be done."

Congrats to you sir. Did you have to contact a recruiter first to get the ball rolling??From time of start of application to offer from CID HQ was approximately 9 months.

They sure can. CID is highly competitive.... especially for the initial entry guys. Its the dream Army job... you wear civilian clothes everyday. You don't do formations. Most places don't do organized PT. Your local office command are people who have actually done your job not just somebody that went to college and got thrown into a command position. Fact is they can say you cannot put in your packet for anything they want. I do however agree that there are usually plenty of waivers for almost anything.And maybe remind the few, if ill of us they speak, that we are all that stands between the monsters and the weak.Comment

I contacted the recruiter this morning and they said that I am only second person to ask about the program and they do not know a whole bunch about it. I asked about my GPA and he said it is a very specific program and many people wont meet requirements but to come in the office and they can see who they can contact about a GPA waiver. I am going in there next Friday. He said not to get my hopes up....Comment

My friend called a local recruiter and they had no clue what he was talking about, so he asked me to call them (I'm prior service and have a way with words). I called five different recruiters in my area and not a single one knew what the program was or that it existed, and four of them told me I didn't know what I was talking about and that no such program exists. One of the four told me there was a direct-entry officer CID program (though he could not provide any information on that when I told him no such program existed). Only one of the five said they would look into it and get back with me.
I find it very odd that what could be one of their best tools for recruiting top talent is a mystery to the front line (recruiters). I mean, this job seems like it would sell itself. Can you imagine how many more well-qualified people the Army may be able to get into their offices and into service if they were to advertise this program well? If the recruiters are any good, they should be able to "convert" these CID-hopefuls into other Army positions.Comment
