USMS Schedule B Hiring 2019

[La_Bamba]

Yup! Not that I didnt believe you but I spoke to my buddy who is a Marshal and he said they will be GS13s! Good news all around. Even better if I ever get a final offer!

All good man. We know how the underground network of rumors works and plenty of USM didn't believe it was gonna happen until today. These guys deserved this a long time ago, so I am glad they are getting it.

[policewannabe]

How long between info sessions did you guys do the interview?

[policewannabe]

Sorry a better question I mean

How long did you receive and email or phone call that you were going to have an interview?

[nonotnow]

It was only a couple weeks from the info session.

[Tx21]

I had my info session the 1st week of December and didnt get emailed to schedule an interview until the 1st week of March.... we were going through the government shutdown though.......so for notification time you are looking between a couple of weeks to almost 3 months.

[policewannabe]

What email did it come from?

[Grizz901]

How do you go about applying for the Marshals??

[nonotnow]

Do some legwork and read this thread. I'm 99% sure the info, including email addresses, you seek is in the 14 pages. If you can't do that then well...

[matt_laut]

Has anyone heard any dates of upcoming info sessions? In the DC north east region area coming up? Or about the dates for the south east reached out haven’t been hearing any responses.

[Csevera]

Does anyone know if there will be any additional information sessions in the Mid-Atlantic Region?

[nonotnow]

Everyone keeps asking about info session dates so thought I'd chime in again. Couple things. First, recruiters are going to be your best bet for sources of info directly. Call and/or email them. Second, they just had a wave of info sessions in April/May all across the U.S (minus the south I believe) so basically you just missed them. It might be a couple or 6 months for the next round. Third for Csevera, they had a bunch in May so you're going to wait at least 6 months for the next.

[Csevera]

Thank you sir. I’ve been trying to get ahold of my state’s recruiter with no luck so I figured I’d try here.

[nonotnow]

No problem. In my experience email is the best bet. I'd say email once or twice a month and continue to check on here. This is another great info source, especially time wise. A lot of what is said on here for info is given out a day or two in advance depending on how fast recruiters email the info out to people.

Jimmy what is Bandit Band?!?! Inquiring minds want to know

[illini372]

Had my Info Session the third week of June. Interview is now scheduled for early August outside of my area.Recruiter stated they are hearing 10-12 classes of 50 in FY20. Let’s all hope that’s the truth.

Current LEO and military.

[Njw85]

I’m only hearing 6 to 8 classes but 10 to 12 would be great!!

Quick academy-related question:

I can't currently run 10 miles. ****, I can't currently run 5 miles. I only started running 3 weeks ago. I am in great shape from BJJ, but my calves and legs are still getting used to running.

How good should my running be when showing up to the academy? How much will my running improve while at the academy?

I understand that I should show up to the academy in as good of shape as humanly possibly. I also understand that it's the hardest academy at FLETC.

[Tx21]

I have a relative in the Marshals and i talk regularly to the ones in my area. I was told this academy is probably the toughest in terms of fitness and to be in your best shape when you arrive. They also said that they gradually increase the intensity. So im guessing as long as you stay in shape after completing the FIT then beginning will only by mildly hard. Lol

I’ve been training BJJ for almost 10 years and received my Blue with Relson Gracie and then my purple with Cleber Luciano. Most of my buddies are high brown or black belts now. Im not really worried about that portion that much, as i am used to rolling a couple hours with high level guys.

But yea... screw running.... lol

[nonotnow]

I'm with you guys but every time I've done running with groups for the military or police stuff... the pace is never that quick. I'm not saying the academy won't be but I've yet to come across 6 min/mile paces. It's always been keep running and don't quit even if it's a slow pace.

[Tx21]

nonotnow i hope its like that man. (Assuming i make it to that point). When i went through the academy our PT instructor was the Spartan Regional champ for his age group. And ranked in the nation.... i almost died ...... everyday.

[La_Bamba]

illini372 congrats on your interview man! I'm sure that's the truth as what has been told to them. The biggest obstacle they face are getting seats in CITP classes. FLETC has really outgrown their Brunswick location in nearly every aspect from providing sleeping quarters to the dining facilities. That's why there are rumblings of the USMS developing their own training program and doing away with CITP requirement. All talk at this point, but I can see why it's frustrating for them. I've done some advanced training at FLETC recently and most of them have us housed in hotels off FLETC campus. It's crazy how packed they've been and little has been done to expand the housing situation outside of the Taj being built several years ago.

I just received an email from HR asking for my official graduate school electronic transcript. Info session in Dec, interviewed March, referral email in June. Not much but at least there’s movement.

[nonotnow]

[HSVP]

Was notified last week of my TOL

[Njw85]

I’m still waiting on a TOL. Also did you apply to any prior announcements?

[HSVP]

No prior announcements

[Njw85]

What grade you apply for?

[matt_laut]

How did y’all confirm when you were invited to attend a info session?

[nonotnow]

They sent us an email to confirm.

[La_Bamba]

HSVP do you mind sharing with the group in general what area did you attend the informational session? You don't have to be specific as I am just curious if the border regions are getting TOL's first.

[Tx21]

I had mine in the border region beginning of December and nothing yet i only had an 87 for my self rating of qualifications though (Gs-7).. not sure on assessment scores.... i would assume they guys with high assessment scores would go first. But who knows... its the government.
