Without giving away too much, what's the academy like? Any general tips? -
For what it's worth, I hear the USSS in general is hard on family life with the Special Agent position being harder on the family life with the constant travel for protection details. Your schedule basically depends on the protectees' schedules. As far as the degree thing goes, their qualifications... -
I submitted for the announcement that closed recently (On 10/26). Originally submitted on 10/2, made the last update to my app on 10/7. I have not heard anything back. -
For those who applied, how long did you generally wait between submitting your documentation (resume, transcripts, drug questionnaire) and getting a PTT invite?... -
This makes sense and it's not far fetched at all. -
Is it like the FBI where if you meet the basic qualifications you'll at least get a PTT invite (for the FBI, its the Phase I exam)? My background is sort of similar to both you (BootsElectric and Levithane). Served in the military, a bachelors and masters. My undergrad GPA was around 2.75, grad was... -
I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with that last statement. I know some people who got hired as FBI SA's and definitely upgraded from their previous careers in terms of salary. The FBI is just a different beast in terms of their hiring and what they look for. They have the "critical skills"... -
Here's the announcement. I emailed my resume, transcripts, and drug questionnaire to my field office's recruitment email. Waiting on their response.

Correct. I'm mixing agencies up ( I also have a USMS application in and for some reason thought this was a USMS thread). Attention to detail is lacking. -

This is great to hear. Now if only they'll actually get back to me and give me a PTT invite. Here's to hoping! -
For those who took the assessment, is it like the study guide linked below in terms of format? Decision making assessment and a writing assessment?

How does field office selection work with the DEA? Is it like the FBI where you make a "wish list" at the academy and they place you based on agency needs? Is it like the USSS where they tell you which field office you'll get during the application process?...Leave a comment:

For what it's worth, the DEA tends to look for LEO experience more. The military experience is a huge plus as well so I'd say you have a very good shot. I'm also a veteran in the FBI process waiting for a Phase II invite. We'll see what happens. I learned early on that we have to use the shotgun approach... -
For those who got FAB invites, what day did you submit your application?...Leave a comment:

I'll say this; I was qualified for the GS9 on education and they referred me as a GS7. I'm gonna speculate and say they have a pretty competitive applicant pool and at the same time, a large applicant pool. Also take into account the situation with FLETC seats and how COVID threw a wrench in this whole... -
I second the comment above about the memorization portion The exam, in my opinion, was not overall difficult, but the memorization was challenging. -
Same boat as you. I have a few applications going including the FBI, so I'll take whichever offer comes first. I'd like to be DEA though. -
I went through the B.I. process to get my clearance in the military, although I'm sure it was different than the process for DEA. If there is anything that will result in an unfavorable adjudication, rest assured the DEA will let you know that you were not favorably adjudicated. If your background is...
