So I got a response from the Secret Service

CAGiversary!

I've been sending my resume to various agencies, hoping to fall into a nice position. I got a reply from the Secret Service today asking me to resubmit my info for further review(after adding a few things). I was wondering if any CAGS know anyone in the USSS or have any experience with them. The position they are considering me for is an Agent position.

I'm kind of excited, but also wary of what the job entails. The description of the duties ranges from basic counterfeit duty to dignitary protection and escort.

I have exactly one traffic violation that I got, like, 2 years ago. Clean as a whistle, baby.



As for the bullet for Bush..I'm pretty sure he's out by the time my training would be finished.
 
wow. Probably shouldn't be saying that on a public chat room. It is the SECRET service.

You will be tracking down and killing aliens with "J" your new name will be " RF" you get to wear a cool black suit and they do have the cool glasses. You will be erased. You will be forgoteen. You never exisited. You will have all traces of your old life removed. You will go through fingerprint removal process.

Tell will smith I said HI.

Ha, yeah. That was another one of the duties. " Telecommunications fraud" . I'm essentially trying to find an experience building bridge to either the FBI, U.S. Marshal Service, or CIA, and the USSS is apparently big on hiring grads. As long as I get a suit and a gun, I think I can bust hackers and bootleggers for a year or two.

And your point is?


As for getting a minor traffic violation, I doubt they will hold it against you.

They will probably look into your travel plans, what countries have you visited over the past 10 years, have you ever been connected to some incident but not involved in it, your bank account (to see if your money stable), your credit card debts (if you owe more than 10k, forget about it). I seriously doubt they will contact former neighbors, teachers and so on.

So basically keep in mine these things when you give them ok to background search you.

-How much money you have in the bank.

-How deep in debt you are with your Credit Cards.

-Any past evaluations that weren't favorable to you.

-Termination or ask to leave a former job.


These may be factors in which they might not hire you. I am sure the screening process is as hard core as the NASA screening process a few years ago (before that love triangle incident)
 
[quote name='KillJoi99']Assignment 1: Take a bullet for Dubbya[/quote]You know the president's not really the president.
 
[quote name='ITDEFX']What do you do now? I thought you had to be in law enforcement for several years before becoming part of the Secret Service, like being with the FBI for 10+ years or something like that. If we did have any cags who work for the SS or know someone who does, I doubt they can post information here as in retains to the protection of the office of the president no matter what dumb ass is sitting in the big chair right now.




I think that's is just an old rumor. Funny thing is that I DID work with my old elementary teacher last year.

They take college degrees in lieu of experience if your grades are above a 3.something or other. Same with the FBI, Marshal Service, and certain CIA positions. I'm not sure I'll get the position, but it gives me a little hope at least. Remmeber that not every agent protects the president, the Secret Service is involved in a wide range of other law enfocement and protective services.

As for what I do now; I'm just a college grad looking to get into the ground level to avoid local law enforcement or an analyst position at some company I'll hate. I have a clean record, but not much cash as, I just graduated from college where I had to work 2 jobs just to feed mysef regularly.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Congrats!

Yeah, expect to be vetted. Have you already taken the exam? It's a long mother fucker and there's no point studying for it. Even if you don't get recommended to Agent, the civilian positions get just as many benefits. ;)

Edit : Take the extra step and get your firearms permit, learn basic care, safety and go to the range. It'll make FAM QUALS a breeze.
 
OP, how is your hearing and vision? I had a buddy who passed every single test the FBI threw at him and they turned him down because his hearing wasn't the best. It was brutal to find that out months after all the hoops he went through.

oooh, tell us more.
 
Some friends of friends were SS agents for a while. They both hated it. They said it was like being an orange safety cone.

Seldom ever doing anything, just standing around deterring people from doing anything/keeping an eye out.

No, it's not. It's another facet to their psychological evaluation.
 
I had an art teacher in college, whose son is in the FBI. During his evaluation process, for a few days, there was a classically generic BOB'S PLUMBING SERVICE van parked across the street from her house, with a guy reading a newspaper in the front seat.

(I think she said he was wearing a suit.)

oh great... then my old 5th grade teacher (who still works at the same damn school after all this time) will tell them that I was good with computers when I was younger...in the SS mind that translates to Computer Hacker. :roll:

[quote name='doctorfaustus']oooh, tell us more.[/quote]

About being flagged in the fbi database?

Hmm..
Well when I started in the field of education I went thru the normal hiring process, fingerprinted, background check and so on. Things went fine and I was given a badge and the ok to start my assignment (technology)...two days after I started I get a call at work from HR. Basically I get a grilling from them saying that my background check has come in and it says that I have been "processed before". I was like WTF?!?!!? I have never been arrested or questioned by the police or anything. They asked if I had any warrants or anything that could trigger this in my file and I said no. Instead of believing me he told me per standard county procedure I have to be put on suspension until it can be cleared up. I could not believe this at all.

HR could not tell me anything and refused to clear up the situation. So for about 2-3 weeks I was without a job wondering what the fuck happened. Then I get a call saying my background check has come in and it is clear. He would not tell me what the fuck happened or anything but said I could go back to work immediately.

Anyways I think what happened is that HR fucked up and didn't do the proper background check (which takes time) and when they figured it out, they put on that show so it makes it look like it's my fault.

When I transfered to another county, I got a "Hmmm" from HR but my background check cleared.

I was thinking of applying to be a police dispatcher but I don't think I will pass the polygraph test :bomb:

You really are naive to think you are flagged in the "FBI Database" over something like that. Just because you were fingerprinted and an employer ran a standard background check in no way means that you are just going to show up in an FBI database. You've been watching a few too many movies.
 
[quote name='joshingit']Congrats!

No, nothing yet. This is some prelim thing. They want more info, references etc. They said they were "interested" though, which gives me some hope. I'm a novice with firearms, but if I get the indication that I may be moving ahead I will most definitely step it up. I'm curious about this exam, however as I haven't heard anything about it. It seems you're...in the know.

As for vision, I wear contacts but my uncorrected vision is within their range, and I have 20/15 correctable.

The pay seems pretty decent as well since with my GPA I could get GS-7 paygrade, which is over 40k a year (I'm 22, btw so that's not shabby for someone who's used to making $8 per hour).

Like I said, I know it's not going to be "In the line of fire" or anything, but it could make for some valuable experience and I could transfer to another branch in a few years. Plus, Secret Service Agent sounds better than " Junior analyst" any day of the fucking week!

Well then what happened? It cost me 3 weeks of pay. I was told that there finger print systems are tied to the FBI database and local police database(I am sure they don't want some wanted criminal working for them).

I have been ticketed before (Minor traffic violation) in 2004 (a few months after my first scan), but if I was wanted on a warrant or needed to be brought in for questioning on something it would have happened there and then.

you? nah
 
I've worked with a few OGAs (Other Government Agencies) before. They use practically the same training sites that I use and I've actually helped out with several facets of their training. Now whether it was CIA, FBI, Delta, or some Special Mission's unit or the SS I don't know. They're not so much the badge waving folks. Very professional people though.

As for the background checks, I have quite a bit of experience with that. The main kicker is debt/ bankruptcy type situations. Just make sure you are financially fit. Working for the president you will at least need a TS-SCI (which is really high on the list) clearance. These take a looong time to get completed. In the mean time you will have what they call an interim clearance and are limited in positions.

Is it rewarding? The amount of places you get to go and the job description itself makes it worth it. How good would it be to have "Secret Service" on your resume or to be able to tell your grandkids one day.

Basically, not wanting to get your hopes up, cause I'm sure they have lots of candidates, but if you do make it through the selection process, you'll have one of the more "prestigious" jobs around. Good luck and keep your fingers crossed.

Well this counts me out from working in the federal service...I owe 2k on my credit card, 3k in student loans, and oh yea I just bought a 2k engagement ring and now about to be in the red. :bomb:

What happened? They ran your name and whoever did so either typed you in wrong, or you have the same name as someone else who is "suspicious". Are you really this naive? Do you think that just because you get fingerprinted for a JOB, you are suddenly in some FBI database? Do you know how many people get fingerprinted on a daily basis? Good grief. Paranoid much?

So that means anyone with a mortgage, by your logic, can't be a SSA. The amount of debt you listed is so small that it's almost laughable in comparison to a mortgage.

Seriously, are you really this naive about everything?

The SSA (or any agency for that matter) is going to look at the amount of debt you have, verses the amount of money you have coming in. They are going to be highly suspicious of someone who makes 20k a year, who has 200k in debt. It's all about an income to debt ratio.

Dude it's just a question/curiosity. Freak out much?

I seriously doubt just typing in my name into a database is gonna trigger something...that's why they must have used my Social Security Number.

And if they did *type* something wrong, then they are fucked up...glad I left that county when I got a better offer.
Anyways I haven't had a knock on the door from the police or the SS since I started working in the system in 5 years so I don't think anyone's coming for me. So chill the fuck out.
 
[quote name='Ugamer_X']No, it's not. It's another facet to their psychological evaluation.[/quote]

Indeed it is not.

After my screening I was contacted by people I hadn't seen or heard from for ages. They thought I was in trouble because some very serious government agents had questioned them about me...and this was just for a security clearance while I was in the Air Force.

If you got a contact buzz from the dope-smokers under the bleachers at a high-school football game they will find out.

They do contact quite a bit of your history, but it all depends on how high your clearance is as well.

You are the one saying you were flagged in the FBI database. You aren't. Get over it.

You have said in the mind of the Secret Service, you're a "hacker" since your 5th grade teacher says you're good with computers. You aren't that lucky. Get over it.

You have said, "this counts me out from working in the Secret Service. I have too much debt." You have hardly no debt. Try getting a mortgage and let me know how much "debt" you have.

The paranoid one is you buddy. Your posts clearly indicate that. No one cares that you applied for a job as a teacher and now you're paranoid because your name showed up on some list.

If I was that paranoid, wouldn't be posting on a public forum.

Guess I will go triple lock my door and make sure the switch in my apartment works so if and when they do come for me, I can torch the place and make a getaway in a secret passage and make my escape wearing a firefighters outfit so no one will notice me with my breathing mask on.

So that's your line now? Someone calls you out on every post you make in the thread and now you are suddenly "kidding"?

You were "kidding" so much, that other people asked you why you were on a "secret FBI list".

None of your posts indicate that you are joking, sarcastic, or kidding at all.

Use some other scapegoat. Your excuse fails here.
