Secret Service SA hiring process

[bayranger]

I thought it was always med, the BI, and home interview last. No?

BI, HI, Med was my order. And actually, my HI and Med were the same day.

Thanks for the info guys, that is pretty interesting that it can be a little more random at the end.

Added my timeline to my sig for those interested. Hopefully its not too confusing, I am in both UD and SA processes.

So for the medical part I got an email that said the dress code is business attire which to me means a suit but then I got a second email with more details that says business casual which is more of a button down and slacks to me. What did you all wear?

Suit. Nurse said something about it and the asac stated that is our uniform and we need to get used to wearing it

Thanks, its better to be over dressed rather than under dressed anyways in my opinion.

I was in a sweat suit. Just follow whatever your instructions tell you. In the SS, business attire means suit with tie, business casual means suit without tie. If you got both directions, wear a suit with tie. If they don't like it, pull the tie off. Truth is, of you wear a suit, no one is going to hassle you about it.

All,

Relatively new poster, long time lurker. Just wanted to give an update on my process. Timeline as follows:

Applied - August 28, 2014
SAEE/POST - November 24, 2014
SUPER- February 12, 2015
COE - March 12, 2015
Security Interview - April 30, 2015
Polygraph - July 20, 2015
Medical - September 28, 2015
Background Investigation - In progress
Home Interview -
The Call™™™™™ -'

Couple questions:
I accepted a job and moved during this waiting process. I moved from processing out of a small regional office in the SE to the WFO in DC. I notified the ASAIC at the small office and the general 'sasupport' email address. I have not heard from either. My app is till moving forward as I keep hearing from friends/neighbors about my BC getting worked. Should I be worried about my app disappearing due to the move? Has anyone else moved during the process? If so, was anything disrupted/complicated as a result?

I am currently working as a GS-9 in a different agency and series. I have a master's degree, but my career connector says that I am currently being processed as a GS-7 for the SA position. Per this thread, I hear that the granting of the GS-9 is relatively informal as far as being notified (i.e when you get the call, it is mentioned almost like an afterthought). Is this the case, or should I be worried that I will not be offered the GS-9 if that is not what is reflected in CC? Is there a possibility that they will hire me at a 7, even though I have a master's? If they hire me at a 9, can I use my potential year in grade at a 9 to negotiate a 9 step 2,3,etc? (Not sounding entitled, I will be happy to get an offer regardless of the grade, just curious.)

Final question: I have been working VERY hard since applying to get in tip-top shape if/when this all goes down (lost about 50 lbs, slashed BF% in half, etc). I am only worried about one part - the pull-up. I do the APFT about once a month in addition to my regular regimen and can score well above passing in all but this category. Granted, I am a lady and it is a bit harder (but by no means impossible) for the ladies to master this skill. I am doing a lot of focused work on this (Y/T/W's, core work, gymnastics skill building, benching and rowing until I can't wash my hair without wincing, etc.) but still can't get my damn chin above that damn bar. Here's the question: how f*cked am I if I show up to FLETC and can't do 4 perfect pull ups?

Sorry for being so long winded.
