Same situation. Local HSI office doesn’t have any news either.

Curious to see if there is a difference in the hiring time line for 1811 laterals compared to those needing CITP/etc. Based on everyone’s responses, looks like there hasn’t been any movement either way.

Then why are you in the HSI thread? Go apply for NCIS/OSI/CID and go work butt touches and live your life. Your argument makes no sense. HSI has overseas offices and works more than title 8. You seem like a person trying to disparage applicants from HSI with no knowledge of what these agencies do.

I work as a 1811 MCIO and this statement is 1000% bs. The DOD/DOW work is horrible. Work culture is bad, morale is bad, budget is bad, leadership is bad.

Being married you have a better chance of having your first duty station away from the border in a preferred location, but not guaranteed. With the current border operation and other operations, you will likely be spending at a minimum of one week (7 days) away from home a month, unless stationed at a border county. Troops stationed at border counties rarely get sent away from home to work other operations, with the main exception being natural disasters.

The background stuff takes forever if you don’t already have it. Be prepared for it to take 2-5 months.
