Anyone still waiting on results from poly?

Anyone still waiting on results from poly?

Yeah I took the poly last Thursday, still waiting for results.

[ajc518]

You won’t hear back about results. You will only hear back if you need additional testing meaning that your poly was inconclusive.

[jay1]

Okay cool, thanks for the info.

For anyone that has gotten final offer and just waiting for the academy to start, can you give the rest of us a rough idea of what’s out there for available field office locations?

[CATM1984]

Update* exactly 10 days after poly, I just received my list of locations and forms to update. The available assignments are getting crossed off fast.

[Goldielocks]

Nice!How many office of preferences are you allowed to write?

[Justwaiting22]

Just passed my final DEA PFT!!!!!!

Offer coming real soon. I think they have me slated for the June 23 class....

[Justwaiting22]

Appreciate it everyone. I’ll keep everyone posted

[Garada]

Did the recruiter give you an idea when the call for the final offer might be happening?

[Justwaiting22]

Haven't reached out to my recruiter yet. The agents that administered the test told me this information based on communication they received from HQ regarding my specific situation.

[Garada]

Ah ok. Thanks.

[CATM1984]

Does anyone know of an approximate time frame you get your assignment after submitting your preference sheets?

[Garada]

I believe you get your assignment upon receiving the call for the final offer. As to the time frame of when that happens I don’t know.

Polygraph 03/28 started my background week prior. I have passed polygraph but has been radio silence since. Anyone else have similar waiting times? I’m still waiting to fill out my preferences and schedule my final PTT.

[JPlowry]

I haven’t scheduled a polygraph yet but from what HQ told me they are pretty backed up and everything is going to take longer than it had been several months ago. They told me to be patient and I would get the poly scheduled. Seems like anything not in the hands of a recruiter will probably take a while. I’m not too surprised everything came to a halt for most once they got a conditional offer.

[Justwaiting22]

They are short on DEA polygraph examiners... I took my polygraph back the first week of April and the examiner told me she was booked until mid June. Also the examiner has vacation and training during the summer months. So it might be min bro

[JPlowry]

No doubt it will be a minute

[jay1]

Just received office of preference form, and a bunch of other PDF's. I took the poly on 4/25.

[Goldielocks]

What division are you recruited from?

[Garada]

Received email today granting interim clearance.

[Garada]

Met with BI mid February, poly end of February

[JTemple]

Just received my email granting interim as well.

[Garada]

JTemple nice! I would think the calls to fill the June class should be coming out soon? Has anyone gotten the call yet?

[JTemple]

I sure hope so. Maybe next week

[Garada]

Was notified by HQ today that I’m being considered for hire and to send them my updated resume.

[JTemple]

Same here. June class is just around the corner!

[Garada]

JTemple, did you get the same email too requesting your updated/finalized resume?

[JTemple]

Yes I did. Sent it last night, hopefully the call comes soon.

[Garada]

JTemple, that’s awesome! Yes hopefully the call comes in soon.

[Goldielocks]

Are you allowed to pick another office in the same division you were recruited from or does it have to be an entire different state?

[JTemple]

Goldielocks You can pick any office that has availability (including your processing office) when you fill out your office of preference sheet. After that though, it's up to the needs of DEA. You may get offered a couple of your choices or none of them.

[Goldielocks]

JTemple I thought you couldn't apply in your processing office? Is this a new rule?

[JTemple]

There is no rule against applying for it, but they say 99% of people do not return to their processing office.

[Justwaiting22]

Bro atleast you know exactly where you be stationed after quantico!!! Please keep us posted while at the Q if you can

[JTemple]

Yes this new pilot they're doing is extremely helpful. Makes moving plans and such way less stressful.

[Garada]

Got the call!! BAT 220 June 23rd. Super pumped! All three locations offered were on my list. Very grateful.

[Garada]

Thank you very much!

[JTemple]

Congratulations man! I will see you there!

[Garada]

Thank you bro, looking forward to it. See you then !!

[Goldielocks]

Congrats! What location were you recruited from?

[HeliDuck]

Of those that are attending Class 220, did one of you happen to get Eugene Oregon?
