How long you been waiting before you heard something if you don’t mind me asking ? Lol this whole process is just being patient and waiting. Which step of the process are you on? Have you got your interim clearance yet?
Speghetty said: Just a heads up they are looking at stopping interm clearances in CJOA again as they are not suppose to be coming out with them anyways.
teardrop92 said: @202 yes I’m cleared and I’m “ready to deploy “ status and I called last week to see if my clearance is full or still a interim but they said I would have to ask my company that’s sponsoring. And everytime I ask my recruiter it’s the same thing “please standby”

And everytime I ask my recruiter it’s the same thing “please standby” You may just be unlucky and in a waitlist. I know netadmin spots are open in Kuwait and Afghanistan, can’t speak on any others. I can’t really give you any advice since it’s my first deployment, but I guess patience is what you need right now.you could also ask your recruiter if it’s possible for you to temporarily work in a lower position like ADPE temporarily or if it’s possible to take temporary duty in a different country. Either way, you’ve made it to the final steps, just gotta wait a little bit longer lol, keep your head up
202 said: @Jr1984 not a problem. It was about 60 days from submitting eqip to a CRC date for me, but again I had medical issues to fix before I was cleared. Assuming you don’t have any med issues, you could have yourself a CRC date within 30-45 days, i think

teardrop92 said: troverdan55 said: What is the average time people stay in ready to the deploy? It can vary if your job is available or not available. I’ve been in the status since October

What Country? It's been a lot of IA positions that have been filled in the past 90 days. Plus, because of the new contract extension until 2021 a large percentage of people got raises.As you know, for a position to open up someone has to quit. (Internal) Advantages of not quitting:1. The hourly rate just went up. I am not talking about .50 cents either.2. People have longevity, at least another year (11 months be to exact)3. IA is the highest paid group on ground.

The first extension just ended so some people are leaving contact your recruiter. @troverdan55 It's a reason why you don't see that Vulnerability Analyst job posted on the website. That reason is because an INTERNAL email came out about INTERNAL job postings. The email is sent, so not a big deal. But, in most/some organizations they try to fill positions internally first. I can almost bet you that an external applicant won't be in line for an internal posting unless it becomes an external posting. It's people internally that want the job. Might not be qualified but want the job. Trust me. t's easier for someone to switch offices than to wait:Hiring externally1. For you to put your two weeks in stateside.

Change your job code and report to this other office tomorrow. @SpeghettyMessage me your real name so I can report you LOL
Xepher said: The external and internal process is spot on, but you know we got 14 months at least Afghanistan (speculations). So if you have an opportunity to hit Iraq.
LordQarlyn said: Xepher said: The external and internal process is spot on, but you know we got 14 months at least Afghanistan (speculations). So if you have an opportunity to hit Iraq. LOL I mentioned this earlier that the current administration is dead set to getting the soldiers out of Afghanistan and suggested anyone taking jobs there should use that time to gain experience and prepare for their next job because those jobs could be going away. I was flamed, roasted actually lol, I was accused of hating Vectrus (though I didn't even mention them specifically and the peace efforts have nothing to with Vectrus anyway), I was accused of being a hater, a troll, an ignoramus who knows nothing of world affairs lol. Anyway, I'll add as one who is in Iraq now leaving because of the political uncertainty here as well, while it's not likely US and coalition forces are leaving soon, it remains a possibility so if you get in Iraq, take every advantage to improve your IT skills as quickly as possible and start preparing for your next job.
Xepher said: Yeah it seems to me contractors make the world world revolve around the uplift, but in reality their skillsets set them to 50k-90k in the real world, this is not the case for everyone of course as there are highly skilled and talented people out there. I told anyone who could move up in roles or change to Iraq, if they haven't done so already, you're losing money. Once i'm able to make my move when I reach my time in position, i'll be making a move very quickly up the ladder, which country this happens in does not matter. If Iraq and Afghanistan closed, I think we all would be ok, just those people with the extravagant lift styles would be in a pickle. (unless they just got it like that)
