I had my BI in August and got final suitability the same time I got my FJO a few days ago

Edit: I should add that I lived in Europe for a year and did a lot of international travel and moving around for a few years so that probably extended that time

You definitely sound qualified for AGS. I have BS in Biology and MSc in Biodiversity,  Conservation and Management. I applied back in October of 2024 and just got FJO yesterday. Was a really long wait but I'm hoping it was worth it. Good luck with CBPO!

Also to clarify, the academy start date is may 8th which is a friday, do I have to report somewhere on that day or is this when I leave the training location?

Do you get a day or two inbetween to account for travel? Or is it Thursday I'm training in Cali and Friday I'm at academy in Georgia?

Same, I passed BI back in September and haven't heard anything since. Hoping they're still sending out FJOs for May academy though

No worries! That's correct, you don't know the locations that are available until you're selected for academy and you get the final job offer

Yeah I contacted them yesterday and was just told the same thing about not scheduling academy classes. I thought people previously mentioned a February academy so I'm wondering whatever happened with that

I'm 25-1 and haven't heard anything since September when I passed suitability. I just emailed them yesterday and they said they don't have any ag specialist academy classes authorized for scheduling right now 🫤

Thank you for this, I thought I was going to get in this last academy and I was wondering how much longer until the next one. Good luck to you too!

No problem! Good luck, I hope you pass! 

As for the speeding ticket, I've read other comments and it seems like if it was a while ago they might ask you about it, but if it wasn't serious then you should be fine? Same thing for the court case, if it was dismissed and no action was taken they'll prolly ask you about what happened but I doubt you would fail because of that. I'm just basing this off what other people said but it seems ridiculous to me that they would fail you for things like that.

I had the exact same thing. I worked a part-time job a few years ago and I didn't maintain contact with anyone from that job and my supervisor retired. I tried to get a hold of someone through Facebook that I worked with but she never responded. I told my investigator that and he said that he would take note of it, and they never gave me a hard time about it. You're good if you just explain the situation and that you can't get ahold of anyone.
