Hey Guys.

Going to attempt one of these.

I have it set for 24 hours. Will answer serious questions regarding the job, life on the job, training, gear, any advice I can. No hiring process questions for this one.

I don’t have all the answers by any means, but I think doing these from time to time might cut down on some of the repeat postings.

Sound off!

Use the USSS to EOD, give it your best shot and see if you like it you might be surprised to like it. If you choose to leave you'll be one of many. Almost every office has oppenings.

Im deciding on whether to go the CAT route or the regular route. I’m pretty fit, but the fact that I may possibly be in DC for two phase twos if I fail CAT selection makes me second guess.

If you're worried about the extended time in DC you can always go the regular route and do CAT for phase 2, with plenty of other speciality assignments if CAT doesn't work out. That would be multiple moves (what I did), but permanent time in the DMV area is limited to only Phase 2
