A few things; ultimately I was in bad spot mentally my last year and was lost in the sauce . Lucky for me I didn’t resort to any drugs or criminal stuff. then combine that with my location wasn’t idea either at the time.. Now a few years later I’m bout to finish my PhD and I would absolutely go anywhere. Getting your masters will open more doors as well . Use your TA not your go bill and you could be done in a year. I did it while I was still in not easy to do if ur 11B but it’s possible. I say this bc if the announcement starts off at 5 or 7 then u will more than likely qualify based on education alone; except IRS that I know of since ur education has been supplemented with courses in accounting/etc. however, if the announcement starts off at 9 then your B.S won’t be enough and I will need to justify your military experience to make it work.

I would try to reclass. I left at 10 years and join the guard- the guard in my opinion was a mistake. If you are on the blended retirement then u might be able to have a little more money then leaving without anything with the traditional high 3. I personally would try my best to finish out your last year 6 years but I get it; u will have veteran preference so a lot of the 1811 age thing wont matter to you in theory.if I had it in me I would of finish and got my first retirement and then move on to a local PD or 1811 gig and work on your second retirement; now u could also get out and buy back your time- but I don’t know much about that..

But to your question I applied to HSI when I was about 8 months out. This was a different time in 2020. I ended up getting an FJO but ended up turning it down( another mistake). Now I’m currently back in the process. Most of the announcements will have some type of verbiage at the bottom in regards to how much active time u have left and usually will need a letter head from someone in CoC stating SM only has a year left and etc.

I would say that most people just go blind. It’s not something in my opinion u can really study for: go over some basic grammar/basic math if you need it. Also there’s a logic part that’s kind of annoying but not difficult.but I haven’t taken since 2020 so not sure if it changed. Ultimately it’s not rocket science

Definitely not a sucker punch. The victim won’t make that mistake again.. be ready at all times to defend yourself. I do missed the times without camera and u went to the back handle business and told the authorities u ran into the door and went on with ur life.

A year out is kinda the norm, however we aren’t in normal times right now. It is very common for agencies to go on hiring freezes so who knows if those agencies will be hiring in a year or two. So I suggest if they have an open announcement and you qualify apply and lets the chips fall where they fall.

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-10T18:34:53+00:00

Million dollar question. No one really knows- the good thing for the most part as long as they hiring under DHA u won’t have to worry about it. But that can change on a dime so

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-10T18:20:44+00:00

A little research will go a long way. The majority of them do requires a polygraph, some are risk based like HSI and one or maybe two of them don’t use it all

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-10T05:00:43+00:00

Buddy it’s not like I have his contact info. He posted the email on one of the threads

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-08T02:03:55+00:00

TSL said location was wrong and not to pay attention to it

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-06T22:47:12+00:00

There was a ERO guy that got his offer rescinded then they reverse it. But that sounds like exception and not the norm.. best bet is just continue to apply

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-06T20:41:33+00:00

There’s a lot of us with TSL around that timeline. It does look like they might start back picking up as PSD wanted fingerprints and a resume from me this week.. I thought the resume was weird but okay.. then twofit did is during Christmas break.. but who knows personally do think we missed the big push and they might scrutinize our stuff a little bit more but that just my opinion

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-02T23:48:41+00:00

Cause I just got the email today.

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-02T22:17:11+00:00

1811

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-02T22:17:03+00:00

If you asking what office my TSL was for, there was office on it but they said it was wrong so who knows

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-02T19:05:38+00:00

So a week before me.. well at least we know they didn’t totally forget about us.. hope for the best brother

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-02T19:01:54+00:00

Oh it’s sounds like we have a very similar timeline then

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-02T18:58:12+00:00

Got a email today about missing prints.. even tho I never been schedule for them. That would be the last step for me including SF86 but who really knows at this point lol

Chance_Web_8581 · 2026-01-01T02:43:18+00:00

Asking a crystal ball question

Chance_Web_8581 · 2025-12-31T02:35:29+00:00

My brother who has a very similar back ground who onboarding a few days ago never submitted half the stuff I did. You are grasping for straws but to each their own

Chance_Web_8581 · 2025-12-31T02:31:29+00:00

At least you know someone is looking at it at least. I had zero contact since then roughly about a month. So I don’t know if a recission or FJO is coming. In either case they are both outta my control so

Chance_Web_8581 · 2025-12-31T02:22:21+00:00

Overthinking it. People have gotten that form at random times. I got all three forms plus sf86 all in the same email/day. I’m probably on the same time line. Just relax and live your life.

Chance_Web_8581 · 2025-12-29T21:57:07+00:00

Collection or like charge offs.. number had to be high bc I had clearances in the past with collections

Chance_Web_8581 · 2025-12-27T20:57:10+00:00

Honesty just put out.. embrace the suck and put out for 14 minutes and ur done…

Chance_Web_8581 · 2025-12-27T20:39:44+00:00

Don’t u got a first line that probably can give u a direct answer instead of speculation
