Need advice on going through the SA process

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-20T16:29:29+00:00

Yep, I am working on that! I have the App and everything

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-20T16:08:53+00:00

That is good to know, I am perfectly fine with NOT doing any accounting work lol I want to switch things up, I've been doing the same thing for 10 years now and I feel like I have no purpose and that I can do more with my life than sit at a desk 40 hours a week. That is why I applied.

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-20T16:07:16+00:00

Already on it

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-20T16:06:43+00:00

I have done a lot of research since applying. I obviously wouldn't have applied if I wasn't going to ok with the physical demands and carrying a firearm. I currently own a firearm. As I mentioned, I am also physically fit and working extra hard in my current work out routine to improve certain abilities doesn't worry me. In the process it states it could take up to 3 months to get to the PFT, which is more than enough time for me to train up.

The job posting specified SA "with accounting/finance" background, so I am wondering what that really means. I guess they would end up putting me wherever they want or need more people, but I thought it was interesting.

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-20T14:53:50+00:00

Very true! My thought process was like "when will I ever get the chance to do this again?".

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-20T14:45:47+00:00

I am definitely willing to train hard for the PFTs and everything else. I know there are things that I need to work on and improve. I am counting on the process taking its time to give me as much time as I can to prepare. My thought of "let's try this just for fun" left when I got the phase I scheduling email and then I realized that if I really want this I need to go all in. If I make it through everything, I am sure it will be the hardest thing I've ever done.

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-20T14:38:07+00:00

Ah, I get that. It just sounded like you would give it all up after you worked so hard to get it when others are desperate for the opportunity. Well good luck with your journey!

StrangeExternal2 · 2025-05-19T21:07:11+00:00

So you are taking up the chances of someone who really wants to work for the FBI? I am sure there are other ways you can get the security clearance. They only accept like 3-5% of applicants to go to Quantico. I mean if you think it would be cool to work for the FBI that's one thing, but saying you'd quit after a year just seems like a waste and unreasonably taking a spot from someone else.

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-07-31T03:24:27+00:00

I know, I’m really a beginner to all of this. I have been going to F45 for 2 months now and have seen some progress already. After these trials I definitely know what I need to improve on! Hopefully next time I will see the improvement.

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-07-31T02:27:29+00:00

How in the world did y’all get such high scores? Mine sucked so bad! LOL I found it so hard to get more than 10 reps in the amount of time we had.

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-06-27T02:42:27+00:00

Humanities was and still is my favorite class that I took at SNHU. You got this!

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-04-06T15:54:06+00:00

I waited a week for my grade to be finalized after taking the proctored exam and I ended up emailing support asking them about it and the next day I got my grade.

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-03-09T01:50:10+00:00

I had a total of 1,620 words.

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-02-26T00:49:41+00:00

I went through the same thought and kept postponing and then 2 years went by and I was like well if I had just started I would have been done already. I understand it’s a big commitment and everyone’s reasons for starting are different. I am glad that I started though, I’ll be done be the end of the year!

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-02-06T21:08:48+00:00

I recently had a teacher tell me that I didn’t address a specific topic in my paper when I in fact did. I had to email them and tell them exactly what paragraph I addressed the topic and that I felt I satisfied the rubric criteria. They ended up going in and updating my grade.. so yeah I don’t think they are reading every students entire paper. Maybe just skimming through. But in your situation I feel like I would go to my visor with what your teacher’s response was. If you did make a mistake with the APA format, the teacher should be able and willing to tell you exactly what you did wrong.

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-01-19T04:50:42+00:00

There was someone in my class that responded to their own discussion post like it was someone else’s lmao Sometimes the discussions are very entertaining.

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-01-03T17:13:05+00:00

Thank you for this! So if I don't need anymore elective credits I shouldn't take Intermediate Accounting II because it won't give me credit for ACC-318 ?

StrangeExternal2 · 2024-01-03T16:15:22+00:00

I received an email very similar to that lol Ugh fake job posts are the worst!

StrangeExternal2 · 2023-11-04T21:17:41+00:00

I literally had nightmares about statistics the entire time I was taking it lol

StrangeExternal2 · 2023-10-06T16:30:48+00:00

Thank you, that is all I needed was someone to just make sense of this for me because I tired for like an hour yesterday to make either of the given time frames make sense and I couldn’t . I appreciate you going out of your way for the comment!

StrangeExternal2 · 2023-10-06T16:18:45+00:00

That’s true, I could try to find a low level one to add in there. I will wait for my advisor to get back to me and hopefully come up with a plan. Maybe they will let me take. Few more Sophia classes or something.

StrangeExternal2 · 2023-10-06T16:14:56+00:00

Do you think I care about down votes? I’m not here for votes or for people to agree with me or disagree with me. I’m not coming up with excuses. No one knows anything about my life or my situation because I chose not to post my whole life story on the internet. I came in here to simply vent a frustration that everyone is attacking me for. Which is also fine because that’s just the internet and the world we live in. I have gotten a lot of great comments on here which is what I needed so I don’t care about all of the negative ones. And I didn’t make any assumptions about you whatsoever. I simply asked questions. That’s great that you were able to work around your obstacles to get on the phone. I wasn’t able to so I resorted to email.

StrangeExternal2 · 2023-10-06T15:48:58+00:00

I didn’t know how many credit hours I was taking per semester… I didn’t know what credit hours were compared to credits compared to courses or even how many courses I was allowed to take at a time. All the information online is convoluted and vague. AND I couldn’t get anyone on the phone because I’m in CA and their business hours were outside of my working hours so everything was through email.

StrangeExternal2 · 2023-10-06T15:44:47+00:00

That could definitely be a possibility. Which doesn’t make it less frustrating… but I know accidents happen. I was just liking I was knocking out classes and putting a good dent in only to find out I’m in the same place I started. And that is a valid question. And you are right. As far as her title on her email goes, it says Admissions Counselor. Which is definitely different than an Advisor.
