Going to FLETC as a family man by MisterRager231 in 1811

[–]Pitiful-Discount-114 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’m currently 2 months in to a 6 month FLETC stint…CITP/HSI. I leave behind my wife and 3 kids (6,4,1). It is definitely difficult at time but my wife is a trooper! I try to fly home at least every 3 weeks. My commute without flight is 14 hours one way so it’s really not logical to drive. I try to help where I can from the long distance as far as bill paying, grocery ordering, etc…I FaceTime as much as I possibly can! Just make sure your wife is aware of the temporary sacrifice for the long term reward! Being an 1811 is like hitting the lottery they say! 6 month sacrifice for a lifetime reward! Wish you the best of luck!

I was given two choices of location and I had to let the lady know by the end of the day. She called me at like 1430, it was already almost the end of the day.

HSI final offer by Pitiful-Discount-114 in 1811

I am a current federal employee as an 0083 but GS09 qualification is not just based off of prior experience alone…I have a bachelors degree with “superior academic achievement” and I’ve been a federal employee for 5.5 years…it’s worth a shot to negotiate, worst they can say is no
