Cody, Can you do a video that compares and contrasts the stress you deal with as a DS agent versus the stress delt with in the military or traditional law enforcement (city, county, or muni cop)?
I will be transitioning from the military in a few months, and I am interest in becoming a DSS Special agent. What advice do you have for people in my position?
There are a lot of folks in your position. Do you have your bachelors? That’s a non-waiverable requirement. Keep watching the videos. Join the Facebook group “Becoming a DSS Special Agent,” listen to the Off The X Podcast. Get all the info you can….and apply.
@@nicholasmargagliano1833 hey man, if your plan is to stay on federal/government side vs private sector then use your TA to get a degree with somewhere like AMU or WGU. It checks the box and I assure you plenty of the other agents will also have degrees from such schools.
Cody, I just finished BEX and failed with a 4.6. I would like to get some help to prepare for next year. Would you mind if I email you to discuss getting some training? Thank you for the consideration.
I took the DSSAT last year and I fail, because most of the questions were scenarios, I can take it again coming this November when the year mark hits. Is there a study guide for the DSSAT? I tried finding it online but there’s none, any help is appreciated.
Get a degree in a topic you enjoy - the type of degree doesn’t matter. Keep your grades up. a high GPA can help a bit. While in college, get some work experience, any work experience is better than none - but work experience with management and leadership will hold more weight. Try to get an internship - paid or unpaid - with DS. Keep an eye on international affairs and what is going on in the world. Hope that helps.
@@Ir0nman80 Thank you! I already have my undergrad degree so I’ll look for better work experience. Another question if you don’t mind. Since you have to wait a year after applying if you don’t make it and the announcement comes around about once a year at the earliest. Do you believe that one should apply if they believe they meet the minimum qualifications to apply but may not have a super competitive resume? Should an individual skip a cycle in hopes to improve their application or just apply regardless of how competitive they believe they actually are?
@@alexcruz9433 if you have your degree apply now. If you don’t make it at least you can experience the process. Also, the vacancy announcement is no longer once a year. It is year round now
Cody, I am very interested in DS and in phase 4 now for the application process (passed DSSAT). I am retired Army MI warrant and I worry about the BEX?

Guess I’ll need to have the military get me my bachelors before i leave. Didn’t know that was mandatory

Sure, you can email info@codyperron.com. I usually don’t train folks until they have a BEX date but happy to connect.

When it comes to writing, what do you think of the purdue writing lab to improve writing skills?
I don’t know much about it but sounds legit. Any professional writing support will help.
@@Ir0nman80 thanks
The DSSAT is an absolute shit show, take Adderall before taking it.
