What to Expect: The DEA Academy and Basic Agent Training

[@wesleyzeyer2580]

Thanks I’m fourteen and want a career in DEA I’ve been training myself to exercise and great healthy and will be taking forensics class next year and continuing in high school

[@darkseidofapokolips9796]

I'm former ex Navy and currently county PD. Looking to get into federal law enforcement next. My buddy did the physical and academic tests for the DEA and got to speak with an investigator. Sounds like an awesome opportunity and now I'm looking into it. As far as the hazing non-sense goes... I learned in the police academy that my patience for it is getting lower and lower. However, I figure that I can grit my teeth through it the same way I grit my teeth through boot camp and police academy.

What kind of stuff did they do to haze you?

[@darkseidofapokolips9796]

@@optimizing_fitness Nothing Major. Screaming, yelling, calling names, making you PT. The usual psychological bs games.

[@optimizing_fitness]

@@darkseidofapokolips9796 okay. I asked because during his video, I was thinking to myself: “I’d take that as a personal challenge, trying to keep my cool despite their attempts to fluster me.” But I had to ask since I don’t know how serious it could get. I appreciate the response 🥋🙏🏾

You’ve been such a wonderful resource. Thank you so much. I’m on my path to applying for the FBI and would love to hear more about the FBI if possible.

[@federallawenforcementcaree9900]

Will do.

Good day sir, what’s your email? I’ve seen you drop your email around here but can’t seem to find it anymore. I wanted to inquire about something directly.

I've applied to be a DEA diversion investigator and now I have to take 2 assessments just to get an interview. I just don't get why they have so much assessments. Hopefully I pass these but man it's a lot of work.

[@federallawenforcementcaree9900]

Are these assessments q and a related such what would you do in such and such a situation?

[@NbaMichaelBeasly30]

@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 the 2 assessments were a 100 questions in total asking about myself such as how would your supervisor describe you and how your friends would describe you as a person and how I interact with people. The phase III assessment is next which will consist of math, reading, writing and scenario questions. I keep watching your videos about DEA to keep me motivated in the process and they help me stay focused and never give up. Hopefully I pass this next test to get to the interview phase. Basically 4 assessments in total.

Sir, the Marshals are 1811 now. They will become gs13 like any other 1811s.

[@jackstoutamore8541]

Actually no, newly hired marshals are still 1802 for their first few years iirc

[@omaazu.s.a6151]

@@jackstoutamore8541 that’s correct.

Thank you!

[@AaronMGavina]

Great videos man! Appreciate all the advice

[@Irisicaaa]

Do you know if the DEA is as enthusiastic about hiring JD holders as special agents? I am a law student genuinely doesn't want to do traditional lawyering. I'm looking for alternative career paths that are more active in nature.

Sorry for the bad spelling autocorrect isn’t the best

[@Djfawnz]

Hey there sir! Thank you for great insight again! May I email you about a quick question with the DEA? I spoke to a recruiter today but just wanted to get your opinion of something if possible.

[@federallawenforcementcaree9900]

Sure email me at [e-mail]

[@davidfizzano3356]

@@federallawenforcementcaree9900 Could I also shoot you an email sir? I have a few questions as well.

[@01ibrahim1]

do instructors help if someone is struggling with the materials or do they push you to drop ??

[@christophzmiev844]

I would love to become a DEA agent.

[@Roger-il8iw]

Any sleep deprivation in secret service training that you know of? The hazing and yelling imo is necessary. Especially for folks who never were police or in a combat arms military job. People are soft and they need that stress.

[@HaitianBlue]
