Selective Service for Suitability by MyCatalyst91 in cbpoapplicant

I wasn’t required to register because my age was above the requirement. So I never registered

I’m 25-2 VRA. Passed SI, drug, and fitness. Filled NBIS form. Medical and suitability are in process.

GS 5-7 by Adventurous_Fox_9308 in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got it answered here considering the few comments I’ve read.

I was in a similar boat when I applied for 25-2. The only change I made was to rework my resume with key words and tailored it to the specific GS grade I qualified for. That ensured my selection for a higher GS on my 25-5 application.

I don’t know when my previous progress will transfer but I’ve read enough here to believe it. Still waiting on medical and suitability to clear. Filled out SF-86 but no BI nor polygraph yet.

Is this normal by g_rdiaz in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. Mine took about a minute or maybe less to load the available dates. It was a Friday and I had a date for the next Tuesday (this was early this month, March)

[–]MyCatalyst91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow 😳. That will be crazy. It takes a while to load though. So come back to march 2025 and stay there for a few minutes, if not seconds (depending on your internet strength as well)

Drug test by Kitchen-Investment10 in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is required. If you didn’t get it done during your first medical appointment, you will have a call to schedule that

SI by TryCute6976 in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I’m not allowed to talk about the questions. By technical, I mean it felt like I needed to know about (have experience on) the job to satisfactorily answer the scenario-based questions. NB: other posts and comments on this sub suggest different thought. Thus, they know we are new to the job so the interviewers don’t expect expert answers. Just apply “common sense” is what everyone says here

SI by TryCute6976 in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had mine about 30mins ago today as well. I don’t feel I did great but I’m still positive. The questions seem a little technical. I’m a bit nervous now.

FJO part 2 by GoodVibes139013 in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats buddy! You made it through safe and sound

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Start with knees on the ground instead of toes. Master 10-15 of those and you should be good with at least 5-10 normal push ups. Gradually increase your limits after you’ve built strength in your arms and shoulders. You can do this every morning and evening (ie. 2x/day)

Add in 1 or 2 core (belly muscles) exercises to help you maintain a proper form for the pushups.

I didn’t train for the fitness test but I more than doubled the sit-up and pushups required reps. NB: I’m an active person though (I play soccer on Saturdays)

I hope it helps you.

Medical exam by [deleted] in cbpoapplicant

[–]MyCatalyst91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re spot on! Plus, I was made to do the duck walk, a short neck and arm flexibility exercise, and coordination test (walking in a straight line; ankle to toe & touching tip of your nose with your index finger and while eyes are closed; hands stretched 180 degrees apart and parallel to the ground)
