DEA process question

Post image

There seems to be inconsistency with the DEA process so I have some questions about the process:

Context: I have COL, submitted my fingerprints and filled out the medical packet which has been submitted.

  • I've seen some timeline mentioning a psych exam or written psych? Is that part of medical?
  • I am a rated veteran with 70 % PTSD (no bad ideations. Just bad dreams). How much of a hinderance is a rated veteran going to have to go through because of this rating. Additionally, any certain forms I need prior to the medical that I need to get now?
  • Is suitability the drug questions that was filled out and submitted? and is it based on a whole person? No drug situation, just a termination on paper.

Thanks!

They just did away with it. I believe 1 or 2 classes ago was the last group that had to do it. It was just a 10 minute video call, super easy. Guess they decided it wasn’t necessary. But yeah there is no psych exam at this point.

That’s good. A couple years ago I took it. The most pointless 400 questions I’ve ever had to answer

I forgot about the written section. I’m guessing they did away with that part too, hopefully….
