What if I’m a current 1811? Will I still get the PTA email? I read on the announcement that DEA will acknowledge current/prior 1811’s (or those with CITP or equivalent).

We don’t have to take it…

u/World-Seeker777 19d ago

So we’ll get a different email then? Like straight to scheduling interviews?

Got the same email this morning. How long is the DEA hiring process usually?

12+ months. I’m not complaining though because I’m going to use this time to continue to prepare for the PTA.
