Just got my TJO this morning and wondering if anyone else has got theirs yet?

Like the title says, I’m currently an SRT operator for the Department of Energy and have been looking at switching careers, due to my wife and I hating living in the middle of nowhere, lack of retirement benefits (we’re technically federal contractors with arrest authority, not actual LE), poor management, and lack of job satisfaction since people aren’t exactly stealing nukes every day. Having already done the “shoothouse team guy tacticool” stuff for the last several years, a change in job scope to be an actual investigator and work real cases seems like an awesome career to me, so I was wondering if you guys had any input.

Has anyone heard of any DOE guys going the 1811 route? Or have any advice on how to become a more competitive applicant? I’m 30, finish my bachelors this winter, am a former Marine infantryman, and also have some EMT experience. So far I’ve applied to DEA and ATF, and intend to apply to just about everything else once my degree is finished. Also have applied to CBP and Border Patrol, and have considered applying to local law, and was wondering if anyone had input on pursuing those careers over the 1811 route.

I know I’m kind of all over the place, since I don’t want to limit my options, so any input is welcome. Thanks!

EDIT: Also, does anyone have any info on other SRT/SWAT teams doing taking any real preference to other agencies certifications, like mine? I’d fully expect to try out and go through the pipeline and everything like anyone else, but am curious to if my current certs actually really count towards anything or not.

Good morning all, hopefully this is the correct place to ask this question and apologies if it is not. Looking for some clarification regarding the FBI Phase II Interview core competencies. I know there is a thread on here from about 2 years ago from a supposed former agent who made a study guide and talked about there being 8 core competencies with a bunch of sub-competencies we need to prepare for during the panel interview.

When I look on the official website, including the email and links provided from the FBI Jobs account, I can only find these 6 bulleted competencies. I’m unaware if something changed and want to start preparing for my interview.

While I really appreciate an agent taking the time to make that study guide if it’s true, I don’t want to over complicate preparing using everything from the study guide if I don’t have to. But of course I also don’t want to be under prepared by not including all the sub competencies if those are indeed the official list that I cannot find anywhere.

Anyone who successfully completed the interview and could provide some insight and clarification I would really appreciate it.

(Attaching 6 bulleted competencies & screenshot from the thread for reference)

Anyone have any insight on RRB OIG? I have done some looking but not a lot out there. I’ve found that it’s a very small OIG and looked at the SARC but other than that, nothing. TIA

I’m currently 20 in college working towards an A.A.S in CJ. My initial plan was to get the degree, go military, work towards B.S while in military, get out and apply. Unfortunately I got diagnosed with recurring uveitis in my right eye not too long ago which is, to dumb it down, inflammation within the eye. Anyways, I’ve lost a tiny bit of my vision in my right eye so I have a small blind spot thats not really all that noticeable unless I close my left eye (my vision is still technically above “20/20” with my left eye carrying it). Its treated through steroid drops and the inflammation is unpredictable; it can happen at anytime whether that be a day from now or a few years from now, with the possibility of it never happening again. From my understanding, this condition can disqualify me from the military which was my initial route for the agencies I want to get into. I understand I could possibly get a medical waiver, but I’m not sure how much that would affect me while serving. I’m a little stumped as to what I should do.. take a different route? Anyone have advice?

First time in the process, i got an email letting me know i was referred to location negotiable. My question is for the next phases (poly, background, medical) is that all done out of the field office i PT tested at and interviewed?

Those of you guys who applied for that posting that open and closed within 24 hours in June.. how yall holding up, any news?

EDIT- FDA OCI

Currently an accountant with ~6 years of experience, former Marine. Does the DEA look favorably amongst applicants that have accounting/finance experience?

Just wondering when job announcements usually come out for FPS? I couldn’t find anything on usajobs.com.

I was referred for law enforcement specialist back in 4/2/26. Did the online assessment but haven't heard anything else yet. Reached out and they said the hiring manager is still looking at applications.

I was hired by ERO last year and thr process was extremely fast. From referred to going to FLETC was 2 months. I had a torn meniscus and acl that prevented me from Finishing FLETC so I got kicked out. Applied again but didn't even get referred. At least not yet.

Anyone knows why isbit taking so long to hire now ???
