What is the application process like to be in the FBI? Currently in the USN and not sure if I wanna stay in for 20 years. I already got an associates and I'm at an aviation command so online classes are possible even on deployment. My only run-ins with the law have been a couple of fender benders and speeding tickets. I'm about a 3rd of a way done with a 6 year contract, but I figure now would be a good time to gear my studies towards whatever the FBI would deem valuable. Anyway do any of you dudes know anything about this? What are my chances?

Not a thing, have a Cooper.

FBI is only interested in white collar professionals and combat arms for military. If you really want to be FBI, finish your bachelor's degree in CS or Accounting. If you do CS, get work to get your CISSP. If you do Accounting, get your CPA. You need 3 years of professional work experience in that profession, and then you might be competitive. The most competitive candidates also have masters degrees.

following on from if you really want to be a special agent, have you considered the naval criminal investigative service. It's also the lead counter-intelligence arm of the Dept. of the Navy.

I work with the network at our command and the deployable version on oconus. They also offer basic, net+, and sec+ during home cycles. If I got all that (plus the CISSP) would that count as professional work or do they only count civilian? Also, if I went that route would I literally just be IT for an FBI installation or do they do other work? I was more interested in forensics since my focus in college was mostly biology.

I'm getting my BS in nursing and have seen some three letter agencies hiring nurses. I've sorta wanted to apply for shits and giggles. I think my security clearance will still be good by that time.
Have another Cooper gents.

Naw, I honestly just thought they conducted interviews for clearance.

that could count as time for the CISSP (requires 60 months of IT security work - 48 if you have a bachelor's degree). Military work can count if it's professional in nature. As for what you'd do in the Bureau, computer forensics would likely be your specialty, but a special agent is a special agent and is authorized to carry firearms, execute warrants and make arrests for violations of Federal law.

if you're a good boy who doesn't get involved in *interesting* things, that ideally is the only time you'd interact with series-1811 spooks. People know the FBI does other stuff because J. Edgar Hoover was good at marketing and he wanted to attract the best to his baby. Most Feds want to be unseen and unheard and unknown to all but the US Attorney's who finally put bad guy in front of a judge.

What about ex-LEO?

unless you were on SWAT team or made detective, they aren't interested

I just got a couple offers for Big 4 Accounting jobs and intend to start next fall once I finish my masters. I can read and write Mandarin at an intermediate level (I'm an ABC). If I can get into good physical shape what are my odds of getting a FBI SA position like in 4 or so years?
Aaron Fisher
make sure you can pass the PT test and you're good.

Read this before joining a thoroughly corrupt organization, OP.

Are people who are selected for a job that isn't a special agent (computers, forensics, admin) have to go through any kind of boot camp/police academy shenanigans or is it just pt test then job training then go to work?
Xavier Hughes
what user said, get a CPA...

Is accounting enjoyable/easy?
I fucking hate my job and am interested in going back to school.

I worked at the YMCA before the Navy. My boss knew one of our camp counselors (27) was banging the oldest girl campers (14-16). Dude bang tons of campers. Everyone knew but our boss did nothing and threatened to fire anyone if they said anything to the parents. Most of us were stupid teenagers and to shitty to try and say something. One girl finally ratted him out and somehow all the dude got was fired. Point is every institution is corrupt. Don't be naive.
Nathaniel Cooper
Accounting isn't enjoyable or easy, but if you play your cards right you can make a decent living. Accounting can be soul crushing at the larger public firms, a lot of people only do 2-3 years and then jump ship into a accounting role at a normal company.
Jace Davis
PT test is only for special agent positions. If you aren't a special agent, you don't have a gun and you have no arrest powers. You do go through training but it's for your desk job that never has you leave the field office except maybe to go to court.
Caleb Jones
Really depends. IMO it's one of the less "wishy-washy" business related fields and does require some effort. I have a STEM degree and I find that although I was a mediocre STEM student I am generally above average in accounting.
Just be aware that if you do go back to school it may be difficult to find a job that compensates you the way you were before. A lot of the big accounting firms that hire heavily from masters programs have a fairly rigid system in place to fill their staffing needs, and someone who already has work experience might have a tougher time getting a job if they don't want to take a 1st year associate salary.

I have my banchelors in it but only have 3 months of experience because of some health issues. My main problem with it is that you do not actually contribute to the product that is desired.
