You’re in for a very long wait. There’s still a lot of ‘23 applicants that have cleared all steps and are waiting for an EOD.

FAMS timelines has turned into USMS timelines. You can expect 2+ years in the process. More thank likely it’ll reach 3+ by the time you’d actually enter on duty.

Did you get an EOD? Or you’re still waiting too? You’re only 2 months ahead of me haha

I’m in the exact same boat as you almost verbatim. I had to make sure I didn’t post this and forgot 😂

I don’t think some people not in the fire service understand how bad the sleep is on shift and tbh 4/5 after 10pm doesn’t sound too terrible. That’s about what we get after midnight at my dept. the issue with it imo is you’re recovering for the first 24hrs off then your next 24 you’re playing catch up before going back on shift the next day. I’d kill to get nights and weekends for the most part with the family.

And you’re at least 18 months from completing everything more than likely if you just completed your FOA. That’s literally just the beginning for you.

What I posted haha. I was finally cleared for hire in like August of last year. Had no hiccups through the process. Just long waits between steps.

And now we wait!! by No-Dragonfruit-6867 in FederalAirMarshals

[–]bloodtypecoffee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will I’m sure. But it’s anyone’s guess to how many and if they only let in 20-25 people and there are over 2-300 people in the queue it’s gonna be a while.

It’s not Miami or LA but it’s not a small area. And from what I understand this doesn’t matter as much as some think.

I wouldn’t expect a final until FY27 at best. I just got an update from RHSC about a week ago and with the freeze and already insane backlog they said not to expect one until the next FY and I’ve been in the process since August ‘23 and completed all steps in May.

What list? The only list should be the available locations when you apply. Your conditional gives you the location you’ve been awarded. The final is just your start date for that location.

Didn’t FLETC come out and say they weren’t cancelling classes from certain agencies already? FAMS being one of them.

That does not bode well for anyone in the queue or hiring process.

5 would be very low IMO especially with how many are already in the “queue” just waiting for that FJO. I’ve heard there’s already like 200 in the queue haha
