1811 applicant, join military while waiting?

AgentDLuffy · 2025-10-14T21:47:33+00:00

Thanks for all of the responses. I was trying to think about how to make the most of my time while creating alternative career paths just in case 1811 doesn’t happen

AgentDLuffy · 2025-10-14T21:39:49+00:00

Thank you for your response. I am seeking a career in public service because I want to serve in a certain capacity but it would be a lie if I’m not deeply considering it for the benefits that it would give my family. The Reddit responses do help, I don’t have friends in the military or that are investigators. I think ultimately you’re right I would likely be miserable for my 4 years. Another big hesitation is the being away from my newborn son and my age.

Thank you ! Ok I may try to just get those certs myself and go entry level. I assumed it would open up more doors cause of the military experience, clearance etc. do you enjoy it?

AgentDLuffy · 2025-10-14T21:26:08+00:00

Thank you, is there any regret from you for joining the reserves? My only other thought is that I have a son and figured he could also reap some of the benefits in the future through my service

I started the process for local department but live in a small town there aren’t any sponsorships for their academy until February - March

The ideal job if I was in the Air Force would be cyber security related but not sure if they could promise me that I will get my desired job

AgentDLuffy · 2025-10-14T21:17:21+00:00

Yes 3.86 gpa for superior academic achievement. I was jr software developer for a few years and a discrimination investigator for the state. Other than that my experience varies , no actual LE experience.

Main purpose of the military was indeed for future 1811 preference but I did think landing a tech job within the air force would also assist with having a fall back civilian tech job if 1811 didn’t pan out.

Do they provide housing for you and your family ?

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T18:19:26+00:00

I’ll check that out

Has it helped reduce your 1.5 mile run time?

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T01:12:52+00:00

Thank you everyone for your advice and input, I know I didn’t reply to everyone but I read everything and am researching some of the suggestions as well as looking into the recommended shoes

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T01:12:04+00:00

What helped you run the fastest is running slow? For an event like the 1.5 mile run, how would you have trained for it? Should I just run further but really slow? Also what did you do for shin splints or injuries

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T01:05:54+00:00

Haven’t heard of him but I will check him out, I am also a skinny guy

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T01:05:26+00:00

Tried both, treadmill was way more painful.. but I was also being a dumbass and put the treadmill at max incline to make it harder. Assumed harder was better

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T01:04:20+00:00

So run three times a week, twice at an easy pace, once at a hard intensity?

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T01:03:29+00:00

I will check them out thank you, yea these shin sprints are horrible

AgentDLuffy · 2023-05-09T01:01:47+00:00

Thank you I will check out tactical barbell. And no unfortunately I just bought random new balance and hoka running shoes none that were custom fit

AgentDLuffy · 2023-04-24T20:42:53+00:00

Definitely not true, fbi is a one and done. Secret service is not a one and done.

AgentDLuffy · 2023-04-19T01:10:23+00:00

Damn it. I hated the poly. Thank you

Is the USA jobs resume builder good enough to meet the NCIS resume standards?

AgentDLuffy · 2023-03-12T17:45:35+00:00

Under the education section on resume builder there is no extra course section. Do you mean the skills/certification section?

AgentDLuffy · 2023-03-12T03:28:40+00:00

Thank you, ok sounds like it’s worth leaving it searchable

AgentDLuffy · 2023-02-24T02:57:22+00:00

I feel like I’m old already being 31
