USMS Schedule B Hiring 2019

[Winter_Patriot]

FYI -- the recruiting officer in Oregon just sent out an email. They're doing info sessions some time in the near future. I withdrew my name because I already attended an info session in Area 7. May be too late to get in on the list for Oregon, there were only 50 openings and something like 80 people on the mass email that went out. There may be other upcoming info sessions in the region though that you could get in on.

[Winter_Patriot]

Western District of WA is also setting up an info session.

May want to post this in the Schedule B 2020 thread.

[JamoStu]

December 9th there will be an Informational Hiring Session in Atlanta. Looking forward to possibly starting this process.

I received equip and fingerprints email today. I am wave 4 so they’re still trickling out.

[todds10]

If you don’t mind me asking when did you do your medical exam? I did mine sept 16 haven’t heard anything yet.

[BPAVET]

Good evening, I am still waiting on Eqip and fingerprints email, wave 4 here.

[Checkmate]

For anyone who has gone through the process with complicated medical history, and successfully passed the medical...Please PM me. I have some questions about how I can get my ducks in a row prior to reaching that step.

[FNG41YR]

Still waiting for a fit test. Cleared everything. Any day now any day..

[Donjuan85657]

I’m hearing movement will be picking up for the new year. Multiple classes and a bunch of on boarding.

[GETSOME90]

Same here brother. If we don’t hear anything this week, chances are we won’t until December. Fingers crossed.

[BPVAFED]

My background was done last week, I am hoping for that FIT test call soon as well.

[BuffBills123]

I also heard they planned to have a January class but I heard this prior to hearing FLETC had a COVID outbreak. I was the recipient of two “good news” emails and passed two FIT tests. The first good news email came about a week before they started onboarding for May. The second good news email came approx 3 months prior to the onboarding for September.

FYI, I still haven’t been picked up yet. Never a bad idea to keep applying for other agencies while waiting out this process.

[KYpoPo]

So I finished my background as well a few weeks ago, had anyone EODd recently?

[Boylerules]

Last EODs were at the end of Sep, before the fiscal year. Generally agencies have a hard time doing excepted service hiring during a CR, because you need an appropriation to hire against.

[Donjuan85657]

So what you’re saying is there’s a chance? Lol

[Dfin407]

[BuffBills123]

I’m hearing the next onboarding will be in February. Likely going to be radio silence until after the Holidays

[Donjuan85657]

Did your hearing pick up Wave 4 candidates will be getting onboarded? Lol.

[BuffBills123]

Lol haven’t heard anything about what waves are being hired. I think some wave 3s squeezed in ahead of me on the last onboarding (I’m wave 2)

[Donjuan85657]

Lolol. Roger that.

[todds10]

Heard anything about Wave 1. I completed med exam in sept haven’t heard anything since.

[CNOP246]

Has anyone who is current federal law enforcement and post medical evaluation received any type of communication?

Timeline:

Info Session 5/2019
Interview 6/2019

How does the duty location work? Do you make a list similar to the other agencies? Can you choose the region you live and attended the information session in?

[BuffBills123]

Similar info:
At my info session they said their goal was to keep you within the region which you attended your session. However, later in the process I was emailed a list of nationwide offices to chose from that HR indicated had the highest need for staff.

[Yak]

Ah, thanks for the info. I may have to actually take a good look at them then.

[Boylerules]

NYC1175 is correct, you will be offered a set of available offices and submit a top-5 preferences. The available offices are based off current and projected USMS manning requirements. Your resume will then be provided to those districts for review by their senior leadership (my experience meant that was the Marshal and Chief, but I've heard it could be just the Chief or even Assistant Chief depending on the size of the district). They will then have the option of picking from the candidates forwarded by HRD.

This process is a little iterative, but will place every 0082.

It's not limited to the region you did your info session in, even though that's what I was told when I did mine back in Apr 19. Obviously if the process takes 12-18 months, the manpower requirements will change between info session and FOL..

[Tx21]

To follow up on the other posts.... thats the way it should work... but be prepared for anything..... i was interviewed for an office before even getting a Locations email... in fact maybe about 4 months before a locations email... and I think before FIT.... i know of other guys that got offers from offices before locations as well... so at some point your packet is floating around probably after background adjudication...... i ended up getting a spot in the district i attended my info session in.. so it all worked out.... good luck

[money_mike]

So some info that was taken from instructors here at FLETC:

There are currently 3 classes on base right now. The second integrated program just started. There is a 3rd integrated class scheduled for December, and this class is supposedly already filled with names who have onboarded. I have had it confirmed that there is another integrated class scheduled to start in February although no one knows what that looks like yet due to FLETC, COVID, etc.

I have heard they have classes scheduled to begin in February, March, April, and May. This is not totally confirmed, although all the instructors will admit the agency wants to get 8 classes done this fiscal year.

Yall stay in shape, or get in better shape. Your gonna need it.

[Donjuan85657]

That’s awesome intel. I’m post eQIP/Fingerprints so hopefully I can be in a class by spring!

[gmvargas2018]

After March fit test, did you get offered a final offer? Via email or phone call?

[gmvargas2018]

Does anyone know what happens after you get medically cleared and your background is complete and sent to the Marshals to be adjudicated. What is next? Fit test? Interview?

[money_mike]

You should have already done the interview. The process has been done multiple ways in the last few months, just sit back and wait to hear something.

[Yak]

If you attend a session in one region, must you apply to that region? Or can you attend any session and apply to any region?

[tx5325]

You don't apply to a region. You apply for the agency and they decide where you go.

[illini372]

I picked my region preferences at my interview in Arlington.

[Lwoods633]

I have my info session this Thursday. I hear that they are going to try and push like 600 cadets thru this FY. My question is what is the fastest you've heard of someone going through the process and also how do you know if you are in the schedule B process or just the normal process?

[NYC1175]

Fastest I've seen: 8 months Info session to Final offer.

How do you know it's schedule B: If there is no open announcement on USA Jobs that anyone can apply to, it's schedule B. We're all in the schedule B process at the moment. I don't think they do open announcements anymore.

[Donjuan85657]

I’m at 17 months right now...and I only have a FIT test left.
