USMS Schedule B 2020

[Muciscool]

What the starting pay and Journey man level?

[Checkmate]

Starting grade is GL-5/7 with noncompetitive promotion to GS-13, as of 2019.

[LEOblue]

I take it from the decrease number of posts that it’s been pretty much radio silence from USMS HR.

anyone from the April SLC interview batch began backgrounds yet?

[LEOblue]

Does a background investigation for a Department of State clearance reciprocate to USMS?

[Army101]

My adjudication done for the USMS was reciprocated by the department of state

[bondman007]

I know someone just had a USMS clearance reciprocate to State, so maybe? (it was him^ lol)

[JamoStu]

I take it from the decrease number of posts that it’s been pretty much radio silence from USMS HR.

anyone from the April SLC interview batch began backgrounds yet?

I had my BI interview in August and all my references were contacted. April SLC also.

[ranger things]

same for me.

[LEOblue]

Nice! I haven’t been contacted for backgrounds and fingerprints. Not sure if because I submitted my SF86 earlier this year for a Department of State clearance which was granted couple months ago. Last thing I did was medical in July and medical packet submitted in August.

[Bbreezie]

My background was cleared in MAY radio silence since then.

[Winter_Patriot]

Have you cleared medical yet? I don't know of anyone from 2020 who has cleared medical yet. I've emailed the DUSM exam folks and have been told they don't need any follow-up information for the medical at this point.

[Bbreezie]

Winter_Patriot nope no one has cleared medical they told me via email that they won't clear people unless they are slotted for a class so they don't have to keep re doing medical.

[Winter_Patriot]

Good info, thanks. Means we are in for a wait.

[Winter_Patriot]

Did you clear medical yet? I did mine in May and haven’t received any updates. No request for follow up info either.

[RicardoCrashe]

Winter_Partriot, did you complete the drug test?

[LaBr93]

Haven’t cleared it yet. But was sent this response from medical “Please allow us 45-60 days for initial review and receipt, prior to our review process.”

[Dbc471]

I hope you guys are ready for the academy in January/February if you're cleared for hire. Better kick that PT up a few notches and maintain it.

[Njw85]

Dr.Zeus you a deputy right?

[Dbc471]

I'm staying around 10:30 for 1.5 miles right now, and i'm 35

[Njw85]

Dbc good time for a 35 yo. The thing is to get hired. You can run an 8 and still not get hired. Keep up with staying in shape.

[Dbc471]

Doing everything in my power bro. Got some good contacts on my side now too

[Rocket88]

Completed my structured interview today. Have to say, it was a long drive home afterwards hoping I did well. I felt like I did well in most areas but struggled in another. There was absolutely no way to know if I was doing well or not. Very professional and to-the-point interviewers.

Anyone have any insight?

[Rocket88]

And by insight, I mean someone who has already been interviewed that may have felt the same way.

[NorthLions308]

I studied the STAR interview method and it has work for multiple interviews. I feel if there arent too many follow up questions did just fine. I strong believe these interview are set in place to see how well and if you can articulate a story. STAR method made it easier for me to answer questions. Remain positive, you got this!!!

[Winter_Patriot]

It’s an easy interview aside from not getting feedback. There’s no artificial pressure or “gotcha” questions like some panel interviews. They just want to see if you can articulate your experience or qualifications.

[Atrevino2]

What’s up everyone, first time posting here on the thread. I’ve been following this for a while now and thought I’d give my timeline.
Info session: 10/2020
Referral: 05/21
interview: 07/21
request of transcripts: 09/21
TOL: 11/21
on my TOL I was told to fill out a document called Conditions of Employment. Furthermore, I was told to upload it when “prompted”. Does anyone happen to know if I send a scanned copy to the exam email or just wait for another email with future instructions?
Thank you

[Dbc471]

A month since my interview. I felt as though the interview was more informative. I gave detailed and tactically-oriented situations I have been involved in. After the interview, the deputies told me they are placing folks in districts until they receive an academy date. I felt pretty confident about everything, but still left me to wonder if I did well enough to pass. I filled up entire pages with my answers, as the deputies were having to write beyond the box. Not sure if that is good or bad. Hopefully I will be hearing soon.

[mmyers]

Placing them in districts to work until their academy date?

[Dbc471]

mmyers that's what they said. Said they are having trouble with keeping the 35+ candidates because of the extended hiring process.

[BK4448]

I'm a SLC interview. I did medical and drug test in July, but have not heard anything regarding backgrounds yet. I don't have an active clearance or anything like that. Radio silence since medical. Not sure how the process is with being contacted for backgrounds, but HR said I'm still in the process. Just hanging around until the next step lol.

[notpolitical]

TOL's went out yesterday afternoon for a wave of the December 2020 info session. Did no one on here receive one?

[notpolitical]

Nice, congratulations! Do you have any kind of Federal BI that is active right now?

[Dbc471]

I attended that info session and have not received my TOL as of yet. I figured it would be this week or next week based on the timelines of others on this forum. Hopefully will hear something soon, unless I receive a rejection instead. Thanks for the heads up.

[Winter_Patriot]

I wouldn’t worry. No news is good news. With the first round of 2020 interviews, the rejections went out before any TOLs.

[Dbc471]

Winter_Patriot thanks bro. I was kinda thinking the same thing. Historically, no news is always good news with respect to law enforcement.

[Abdul2]

Has anyone here been contacted for the drug test? And cleared medical? Thanks
