Yeah thanks for the update Njw85. I have to admitt I am getting nervous about this whole process. Nothing bad, just realizing how competitive it is, we're going up against a ton of well qualified candidates. Making it to selection itself will be quite a feat.

No, so just apply and cross your fingers and stop worrying about how other are getting a 'better chance' than you, and be the best applicant that you can be.

Ask a reasonable question (that wasn't recently answered) and you will get an answer. There are quite a few DUSMs on here that are willing to answer questions, but at least 40% of the stuff I've read on here is complete BS. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the poster from saying it's fact because they know someone somewhere and calling out current DUSMs saying they are wrong.
There are enough idiots already, no need to argue with them on here.

Battlewagon, For more clarity on this... It wasn't intended to be anything other than some questions. When my buddy said he had obligations that kept him from getting to apply (his fault), we began to talk about the Pathways Program coming up. With his background I assumed he may have slightly better odds among fewer eligible applicants. That is all man.
Luckily for me, I got my application in and will also be able to do the Pathways announcement too. But here is a question pertaining to me. Does anyone think the Marshals will hold my application status while I get deployed in FY17 and pick up were I left off, or is it more likely I miss my shot? I might be the only guy on here hoping for a 2-3 year process!

Originally posted by USMC85 View PostSo, back to the main topic of this thread, and enough with the B.S. BUT, I was told from one of my good friends who is a deputy during training we did last week that he heard that they are planning to hire 2,000 people. This is due to 25% of the usms is up for mandatory retirement, and the current lack of manpower. NOW, he wasn't 100% on this so take it for what it is..(MEANING HE'S NOT FOR SURE) but I thought it would be some positive info to pass along. Good luck everyone, and lets keep this thread on topic and not argue about veteran pref. points. Us arguing on here doesn't help or do anything for anyone. When people start getting their "non-referral/disqualified" letters this thread will hopefully get much better. Also in the end, if you get picked up, you get picked up. End of story.
Semper Fi to my fellow devil dogs on here.
Wasn't it you who had a SDUSM buddy in PR that stated they only interviewed/considered people in PR?
Now this? Do you have any idea how long it would take to run 2000 DUSMs through the academy? SEVERAL YEARS!
There will be all sorts of hiring methods utilized in the near future, but I will be completely shocked to see any more than 4 basic classes a year go through FLETC. There isn't the infrastructure for it. Even 4 a year is pushing it. Given how we seem to start out with a CR every FY, that will slow it down as well.
Will there be 2000 new hires over the next decade? Maybe, but probably not.

With all the bashing and arguing on this thread, let us fall back to happier times, February 23, 2016, and enjoy this nugget of joy presented to you via the sporadic forum wisdom of do_some (in replying to talk of getting stuck at Super Court, Puerto Rico, etc. as your 1st office assignment):
"Wrong! Most assignments will be at tight-knit sub offices with low cost of living. However... even if you do land at PR, Super Court or SW border, your stay there won't be long. Think two years. Three at most, and if you do three, you get to choose wherever you want in the Marshals Service! If you opt to do four years, you will probably be a K-9 handler or supervisor by then. Rainbows of gold will shoot from your butt as you slowly transform into a mighty unicorn who spends most of his time on a giant yacht being served premium alcohol by supermodels."

maybe someone can help answer my question. Previously, it was stated the USMS would be hiring by region... with that being said, since this announcement is a nationwide hire, will there be any input as to where we are placed or is it like the military where they send you wherever they please? lol
