@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 I will keep you posted. Just got fingerprinted again this time for background purposes. My process started all the way back to December, 2019.
I have been going through your videos and they have been quite informative. I have some questions about some things regarding employment and my enlistment with the Army.
I know several people who have done many things that are federal agents!! Be patient, control your breathing, be nervous, dont admit, keep direct eye contact, always respond in the same tone, and know, I am not taking this test! When challenged after, never admit to anything they say you failed on unless you know you didnt fail on it!! A second test maybe needed with the same results depending, it will again support your results even if its 3 to 5 years later!! Its not reliable and is as correct as a K-9!
Following my pendulum lead to the Canal where Trumps wall is...did ask Navy guy Navy humvee if I could drive down the bumpy rough, he said yeah... Got to the end Road went right, pendulum read it wanted me to go left. So I drive the Canal December 2019 in my 4x4 Blue Duramax Diesel 40+ mph Canal to the right +-8' wide with a 45° angle on left side of Diesel passed a folded up bridge and Navy camera on the Canal.
So I shoplifted something dumb 18 years ago while I was age 18. I’m now 36 with 10 years honorable military service. I have 11 classes to go until I get a bachelors in homeland security. Will that shoplifting from 2003 still be an issue for special agent? Other than that... this video left me feeling hopeless about becoming a Federal LEO due to about 10 other questionable decisions I made at age 18
I was able to get my secret clearance back in 2012, several years in to my military service. I also got approved for several positions that claimed you had to have a near spotless record. I called lilac county, city, and state departments and even the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and none of them had ANY of my charges on file. I would still gladly admit to the charges but is there not some sore of statute?? It was literally 17 to 18 years ago
Great video! As far as stealing from your employer question. What are we taking about exactly? Would taking AAA, AA batteries for example from work and answering yes to that question disqualify you?
@@bb5op585 Stealing batteries, paperclips and stuff like that will be brought up by the polygrapher at the start of the preparation session. After you have answered and explained everything, the final questions will be written by the examiner and you will know them and answer them before the exam starts to insure you can answer yes or no.
Whenever it asks you if you've stolen from your employer, I would put yes, only because it will ask you to explain. Just explain that you've taken batteries or pens. Those are never disqualifying unless you made it a habit to constantly do it, like a habitual thief.
What if I was fired by previous employer for something I didn’t do? I feel like they are going to give me a bad honesty review to the investigator and I didn’t even do anything wrong
Is there anyway I can contact you directly? I applied for CBPO about 1 year ago. Passed all the exams. Including the polygraph. However, there was an issue on BI. I did declared my use of my marijuana in the past and an issue with a family member and their immigration status. I was declared unsuitable, but I really want to reapply to clarify my information. I can give you more info through email if possible?
Damn, that is disappointing that an uncategorized discharge will cause me to become unemployable as a BPA. It's understandable, I lost motivation to train in Basic Training when I was 18.
Can you give me some insight on the TSA process? That’s what I’m waiting on right now. I’m at 100% onboarding and completed the background paperwork on April 8. I passed the medical and just waiting to hear from the background I guess. How do you know when you have been placed in the ready pool?
Would a public intoxication citation over ten years ago be a disqualification? Would like to start a career with the DEA if possible. I hold a secret clearance, 13 years of military service, and have an undergrad degree. Not trying to waste my time applying if my chances are slim. Thanks for any feedback Sir.
hypothetically if someone were to sell their adhd medication 3 times to a friend when they were 18 for 20 bucks with an otherwise clean background would they be disqualified for
I don’t know if you are still active on RUclips or check these comments, but is there any ways for me to ask you a few direct questions about the process?
Great video sir I’m in the us marines eventually after I’m done with active duty I will join the dea thanks for the video what’s a good way to get in contact with you
Does a VA disability rating disqualify you? For example, an applicant with a PTSD rating of 30% or 100%? Or would the FBI/DEA evaluate you with their own psychological exam? Do you have to disclose this information even though it falls under HIPAA?
I enlisted in the Army right out of high school. My recruiter recommended that I lie about a medical condition I had as a child, even though I had paperwork to show that I no longer had the condition, so I didn't risk being denied. I was later discharged because I did go ahead and lie to get in, and my DD214 lists my discharge due to faulty enlistment. It seems to me that this would be a mark against the "honesty" requirement you spoke of, but I'm wondering if you have any thoughts as to whether or not I'd still be able to join a federal agency. Thanks.
Was your discharge a result of Moment of Truth admission? You may have been discharged due to erroneous enlistment. Fraudulent enlistment is a different matter. That would be a determination that you withheld pertinent material. It would also matter as to which agency you are applying for, etc.
Recruiters have recruits lie fairly often to get into military service. A large portion of BI's I did for a recruit resulted in a recruiter write up. All you can do is apply and see what happens. Agency suitability is separate from being cleared. Your case could probably be mitigated since you were a high school graduate who followed the guidance of your recruiter, at 18 years old, but the agency may still deem you unsuitable.
@@akidim13 Hindsight being what it is, you're right. I was just young, and when asked if I had a history of anything, I disclosed that information because I thought it was the right thing to do.
Charged with misdemeanor in 2019 , because of covid and lawyers work load my case didn’t get finished until 2022, conditional offer received for CBP and I’m getting hired under the VRA program (disabled veteran), have a interview later this month, will I automatically be DQ’d during my eQIP ? I have been honest from the initial application and have said I do in fact have a misdemeanor
Just received a conditional offer from one of these federal agencies. I previously had a TS / SCI clearance which expired in 2020 and was not re-investigated because I was transitioning out. Will the background investigation be investigated as if I never had a clearance? Just wondering if it’s going to be another 7-8 months or shorter.
I am currently 19 years old going on 20, as of right now I’m going to a community college (freshman) and planning to transfer to a university and studying to become a DEA special agent. I smoked marijuana about 6 times in my lift from 16- to 19. Recently got a reality check because I smoked marijuana 2 months ago, realized that if I don’t stop now I won’t be qualified for the application process. So now I am completely staying away from any illegal substance because I’m striving to become the best of the best. Any advice for a freshman college student?
My polygraphs got angry and insisting on I did something what I did not ? Is it normal ? He did not tell me my results . And said he will send info to employer . Any idea how long does it take ? Any possibility of passing it or I am mercy of the polygrapher?
I had a similar experience when going through the polygraph with CBP last summer. He didn’t get angry but he kept insisting that I was withholding something, which I wasn’t. I received “unfavorable results” and now cannot re-apply until next summer. Very frustrating.
For police department they make you fill out the personal history statement for the BI, is it the same for federal jobs like US CuStoms? I went on the website but all it says it involves filling out the eqip which I think is a 136 pages full of questions that are way different than what’s on a personal history statement? I ask because I get rejected from police departments when it comes to the personal history statement because it asks so many private questions about my life.. my background is clean, and if I canta succeed in police departments maybe in federal? Any thoughts? Thank
How you doing sir if you don't mind I need to ask you some questions previously applied to CBP and was found unsuitable need you to explain something's to me if you don't mind thanks

Never heard of that as an auto DQ if you have history of being functional. Especially if You're open/honest, ideally not drug dependent. Many ADHD folks in my experience do well under stress actually? But yeah gov doesn't always make sense either
Do they look at it? Yes, but they're not trying to DQ you for it. They want honesty. That's what a vast majority of the process is, they're looking to see if you're going to lie about anything because 9 times out of 10, they already know the truth.
Sir how do I get in contact with you? I am currently active duty Air Force and I am highly interested in joining the DEA, I tried reaching out to the DEA recruitment offices in Philadelphia and Newark, NJ and no one answered. Thank you sir.
