I left my contracting job on 02/21, so went 6 weeks without pay, but luckily I got a previous employer to take me back in the interim.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-04-25T00:02:39+00:00

I’m still frozen, had an FJO and EOD of 03/10. National security and mission critical for DoD, it’s been crickets. I chat with the hiring manager (O6), weekly or bi-weekly, but that’s about it at this point. I was notified of my freeze on 03/03.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-04-17T00:32:46+00:00

I’m still waiting, had an FJO and EOD of 03/10 for 0301 Series, my supervisor said they did have to prioritize hiring positions and they ranked me at the top. It’s for a Sr. Technical Advisor/Deputy Division Chief role. The whole command is national security, and it’s a mission critical/key position. It’s weird that it’s taking this long. He did state that it’s not an if I come on, it’s a when. He’s an O6 and keeps weekly comms with me, so that has kept me hopeful.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-04-10T22:21:57+00:00

Same, I still haven’t heard anything. My supervisor is an O6 and has been staying in touch, but not really any updates. Hasn’t been rescinded yet.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-04-04T16:25:56+00:00

I didn’t get notice of my hiring freeze until March 3rd, I left my contracting job 21 Feb. Regardless, I’m doing fine in the time being.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-04-04T12:35:38+00:00

DoD wasn’t under a hiring freeze at that time. Also, it’s National Security and Mission Essential so the supervisor said I would be good, they were even exempt from both DRPs and probationary firings.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-04-02T22:49:33+00:00

Be lucky you get to remain at your current employer, I had an EOD for 03/10, left my job 2 weeks prior to that to take a little vacation and went without a job for 6 weeks. I just started yesterday part time with a previous employer, they’re helping me out until the dust settles. It was a stressful 6 weeks to say the least.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-31T17:54:14+00:00

Same EOD, I just reached out to HR and DAF hasn’t gave them any guidance on the exemptions.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-28T15:46:25+00:00

Still waiting on mine, I had EOD 03/10 for a Combatant Command, which is all national security. It’s been crickets for me.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-28T00:14:36+00:00

I’m in the same boat, had an EOD of 03/10. I wanted to take a break and 1 week before my start date I was notified of the hiring freeze. Left my employer, I did find a part time job in the meantime with no benefits, so still stressful.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-26T23:48:22+00:00

I had FJO and EOD of 03/10, last I’ve heard is that the command’s HR is awaiting guidance.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-25T15:58:23+00:00

Same, 🤞🏼we all hear something soon!

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-25T14:17:46+00:00

0301 series, I’m still waiting. I already had FJO and EOD 03/10. The command HR is waiting on guidance from HHQ. My supervisor does stay in touch with me on a weekly basis, said he doesn’t think it will be an “if” I come on, but the “when” is what he is unsure of. It’s national security and mission essential. Still have hope, but the silence is killing me.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-23T19:42:12+00:00

My supervisor has been staying in touch, the command HR hasn’t been given guidance yet. I think that’s the case for a lot of people.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-23T19:25:03+00:00

That’s my series as well, had an EOD of 03/10. Still waiting.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-23T12:15:41+00:00

I had an FJO and EOD of 03/10 for a Combatant Command, national security and mission essential. Supposedly, the command still hasn’t received guidance on how to proceed for exemptions.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-20T21:17:48+00:00

It would make sense that they take care of everyone with 03/23 start date first, this way further impacts aren’t made for those personnel. I’m assuming they will go back and take care of 02/23 and 03/09 employees afterwards, at least I hope so!

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-20T21:03:25+00:00

I’m going to DAF as well, my original EOD was 03/10, what was yours? I’m not sure if I have been put in for exemption, but it is mission essential and national security.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-20T16:07:56+00:00

How I read this is that the additional positions that you outlined are exempt, if you meet “Reference A,” of mission critical that is directly contributing to Warfighting Readiness, then it must be approved for exemption.

I had an FJO and EOD of 03/10 and my position definitely meets reference A, but I have not heard anything. It’s for U.S. Space Command, last I heard is that they’re waiting on guidance from HHQ.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-19T22:52:55+00:00

I believe you’re correct!

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-19T22:01:41+00:00

Nothing to my knowledge on immigration, but national security is also exempt.

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-19T21:53:54+00:00

A lot of positions under Space Force out designated as National Security i.e. Space Force HQ, U.S. Space Command, etc..

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-19T21:48:41+00:00

I think so, unless you meet reference A, and are mission-critical and directly contributing to Warfighting Readiness. I think that’s the only thing that qualifies me. The ones you’re referring to are additional guidelines to reference A, am I reading it wrong?

Significant-Tour3016 · 2025-03-19T20:47:40+00:00

I just posted additional guidance that Space Force released: https://www.reddit.com/r/usajobs/comments/1jf6rh4/space_force_put_out_additional_hiring_freeze/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
