Geez. Wow, Barnaj's and the above post are some of the most eye opening ones I've read on here. Thanks guys. The above sure as hell doesn't instill a lot of confidence in the speed of the process and I guess its more of the now familiar, "hurry up and wait" to get my BI done. Granted, I have a few more years before being up a stinky creek without a paddle for the job, but I just wish things we could be given some sort of official timeline to expect for the every stage of this.
I have a cool cat and dog I don't want to get rid of. If I get into FLETC, my parents would watch my cat and my ex missus would watch my energetic pit. The only bad part about this arrangement is that my mom has an 84 year old brother in Europe whom she'd like to see again this year but won't be able to if she's preoccupied cat-sitting.
If DHS is reading this forum, a possible suggestion to make the application process more user friendly would be to give people minimum time frames. I know this is next to impossible on account of each applicant's circumstances being different, but if there was a wish list for process improvements..
Could you give us aspiring Federal employees minimum timelines? Something along the lines of BI will take a minimum of x amount of weeks to complete. VBT will take x weeks to clear, qualifications take x time to verify/process, etc.
Yesterday someone posted that the hell has just begun, but so far this hiring process hasn't been all that bad.
