Is your experience uniformed? Sometimes that can hurt you more than it can help. I say this because I've noticed there's definitely a different personality type when it comes to Uniformed officer's and 1811's. Sometimes they're looking for prior uniformed officers, sometimes they're looking for an individual...

I mean theoretically a cashier could get selected for a spot, if they interview well, and meet basic requirements. An applicant could have all the experience in the world, but if their financial situation stinks, the IRS will have no issue not selecting them....

Thank you for clarifying. DSS is the only agency where I haven't been able to find a detailed hiring process on their site. By detailed I mean an explanation of the timeline.

Thanks for the reply. I was originally going to buy a Glock 17, but after holding the 226 I liked it a lot more. The Sig just felt all around better to hold, despite being a bit heavier, and had much better sights. The gen 5 is a step in the wrong direction for glock imo, they still haven't overhauled...

aspiring_fedDeathcrownCo0311 , thank you for correcting me. I was aware there's physical testing at BSAC. Where exactly does the PRT/PFT occur in the hiring process? Im asking because one person is saying its at the tail end after completing security, medical, and suitability. The other two say its...

Whoa there guy, there isn't a PFT for DSS. There is a Physical Readiness Test, it is self certified, and is submitted with the application. Unless something changed recently, there isn't a physical component associated with BEX. They haven't even finished the QEP part yet.

[Levithane]

You are correct. Im going to be 100% honest, there have been areas where I have gone to where I wish I was allowed to carry.

If he has violated the law throw the book at him. Am I the only one who laughed at the story CNN gave about how they caught an FBI raid at 6 AM? "Instinct led us to get footage of Roger Stone arrest".

NBIB agents are different from your typical OPM Investigator. From my understanding an NBIB agent reports directly to OPM, and OPM investigators are usually contracted.

[Levithane]

Since you're from that agency, what is the leading reason the fail rate is 79.8% for BP?

[Levithane]

You are correct. I'll pick up a bottle of break free CLP or hoppes gun cleaner. After paying top dollar for a Sig, I'd rather not ruin it.

What Caidoz said. USPIS doesn't let you register or go through the application motions until the day they say they're accepting applications. Be careful with relying on USA jobs, sometimes it is a posting for USPS OIG (different agency). USPIS is like Department of State the application process occurs...

Thanks man, ill check out frog lube. I bought myself a 20 dollar pistol cleaning kit the other day that had a lot of the needed tools. Any opinion on use of WD40? I have heard mixed things of using it on firearms.

Listen I hate to be the guy that brings up the aspect of pay when it comes to public service jobs. The inherit issue I see with this position is the cost of living associated with California. Even at $100,000 theres parts of California where that salary barely places you above the poverty line....
