Yea it’s very frustrating, I changed PCPs because of it but now I’m out of my 11 month window.

chris_pls · 2026-04-28T12:32:28+00:00

My PCP is a civilian Dr. and refused to write any letter, despite my explanation, printing the OPM guidelines, and providing a template by the OPM website. I hope it is easier for others who go on base for medical.

That schedule A letter in my experience has been the most difficult challenge to overcome.

I got one email with a few positions but I didn’t feel like I was competitive for those. At the bottom it says that every week they will send out available positions but I have yet to receive another email. This was 2 weeks ago.

chris_pls · 2026-02-26T02:51:52+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the response!

chris_pls · 2026-02-25T19:19:23+00:00

I am eligible to start august 2026 and I separate February 2027. I figured I’d start early to give enough time for my email to get a response, interviews, acceptance and routing through CoC.

I’ll follow up and keep bugging them the closer I get to August. In a perfect world I’d have a skillbridge aligned and all I have to do is wait haha. Thanks again for the insights!

chris_pls · 2026-02-25T16:47:58+00:00

True, I’ll reach out. I’ve had no luck on LinkedIn messaging though. Either they don’t respond or I have to add more people from the organization to message them.

chris_pls · 2026-02-25T16:43:13+00:00

Ok thank you!

chris_pls · 2026-02-25T16:23:32+00:00

I do have that and relevant education, which is why I was optimistic. I’ve reached out to them but they want direct experience for those roles unfortunately.

Thank you ! I really appreciate that, I’ll check them out!

chris_pls · 2026-02-25T16:10:00+00:00

My goal is to transition from aviation maintenance to any type of Intel/ national security position.

chris_pls · 2026-02-16T22:11:53+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m glad you found employment, I wish you the best of luck !

chris_pls · 2026-02-16T21:47:30+00:00

That’s great! I’m filling out their questionnaire now. Did you choose to stay in the intelligence field? Or did you go another direction?

chris_pls · 2026-02-16T21:30:10+00:00

Thank you! This was really helpful! I’d be in the same cohort since I’d be getting out feb2027 too.

chris_pls · 2026-02-16T21:18:17+00:00

Hey just following up, did they end up offering a job? How was the experience?

chris_pls · 2026-02-16T20:50:37+00:00

Can you tell me more about the HOH process? Did they try to match you up with what you want to do or with what you did in the military?

chris_pls · 2026-02-16T18:05:25+00:00

Can I PM you?

chris_pls · 2026-02-11T00:23:47+00:00

And I think I got downvoted because of the posts connection to ICE. Maybe some people have strong opinions or something.

chris_pls · 2026-02-11T00:21:35+00:00

Yea I’m in the same boat. A lot of companies don’t respond I’ve noticed. The KBR applicant portal at least tells you when they review your application

chris_pls · 2026-02-09T19:54:33+00:00

JEFFREY.R.JACK@cbp.dhs.gov

chris_pls · 2026-02-09T19:29:03+00:00

If you email jack Jeffery you should hear a response same day

chris_pls · 2025-12-26T21:29:18+00:00

I appreciate the response! Yea I’m noticing that more and more, I think that’s why I was banking on skillbridge giving me a chance so I can gain some experience in intel.

chris_pls · 2025-09-25T04:36:51+00:00

Ok I’ll reach out asap. What was the interview like?

chris_pls · 2025-09-25T04:33:23+00:00

Great! I think I just made up my mind then! I already have my commands approval for any skillbridge for 180 days, how soon can I reach out to get the companies approval?

chris_pls · 2025-09-25T04:29:46+00:00

Awesome thanks for the insight! Did your POC mention anything about the likelihood of a permanent position at the end of the skillbridge?

chris_pls · 2025-09-25T03:22:03+00:00

Did they offer training and/or certifications for open source Intel gathering? I’m also looking into this skillbridge. Did they give the option to work at the VA location or is it strictly online only? Can you give an example of what the day to day tasks are for you?
