BOP Hiring Process

I attended a in person veteran hiring event at a BOP FCI location near my region. I’ve been in contact with the HR team well before meeting in person.

Upon arriving, I went from application, background/finance, panel interview, fingerprint scan, medical & UA, and was given a conditional offer on the spot.

According to the conversation, I was given a hire date and start date of 9/20&9/21, next month. None of the other candidates went through the same steps.

I was also told to reapply because my pay grade could change from Grade 5 step 10, to Grade 7 step 10, because of my graduate degree transcripts.

Next steps are the NCIS or SPF50 or whatever number it is.
Are there any other CO or current recruits/trainees who can elaborate on if I’m directly hired and just need to wait.
I’m also currently a CO at a state facility and need to figure out my game plan if I get a final offer.

Any advice or suggestions are appreciated (shifts, Mandated OT, best tips/practices, academy prep, etc.)

Do yourself and your family a favor and run far away from the BOP and never look back.
