I had my PSI conducted just over 3 weeks ago and have not heard about my Poly yet.

I had my PSI conducted just over 3 weeks ago and have not heard about my Poly yet. So I had my polygraph scheduled before my PSI two weeks ago; although the request went out to the case agent for assignment they reached out last night.

My wife asked A LOT of questions about moving and how that plays out. I don't know if/when they tell you this stuff if you don't have a spousal interview and don't ask... so here's an info drop. It won't answer all questions, but I know it made her feel a lot better about it. For the 1st move, they will send a pod to your house and people to load it. You need to have all your stuff in labeled boxes. They will breakdown beds and carry out the large furniture and pack the boxes in the pod for you. They will then store the pod in the location you're moving to until you make it out there. Once you're settled in a place, they will deliver the pod with people to unpack the pod. They will reassemble beds and put the large furniture and boxes in the locations you've indicated. Future moves would include packing and unpacking services as long as they are needs of the FBI. They will not ship a car. My AC wasn't exactly sure how much they pay per mile when you drive, but you will get mileage and per diem during the move (he said you'll make money during the move) and only required to travel between 200-400 miles per day (he didn't remember the minimum but thought it was 200). If it takes you 5 days to get to where you're going, great, they pay for the whole thing and he said to make a mini vaca out of it when it's a long distance.

UGH I have heard so many different things about moving now haha. Is there any word on how long they will store the POD for you? Like could you get out there and stay in a long term hotel for a month while you house hunt then get your stuff moved in then?

I've never had a move that didn't result in stolen or damaged things. I love a good moving purge though haha

He did make it seem like they would store it until you asked for it though. There wasn't a "we will store it for 30 days", it was "we will store it until you're settled and find a place and request it".

I've never had a move that didn't result in stolen or damaged things. I love a good moving purge though haha It was suggested to move "light". So it is a good time to purge! LOL they do cover the insurance on the move too, but yeah, I would just go ahead and anticipate something getting broken... I don't even want to think of the process of filing a claim. I have the mentality of, it gets broke, I should have gotten rid of it before and it just wasn't meant to be. Also, I've kept all the original packing materials for computers and TVs... Some think that is excessive - if you've done a military move with others handling your stuff - you'll know it's not.

I asked my AC and she said the FBI will pay to have my stuff packed up and moved. So I guess don't have to have things packed and labeled in boxes ahead of time? Sounds like some of this depends on if you're a current government employee or coming from the private sector as well. I guess the moving process will all be covered in detail during a pre-q call though.

I guess the moving process will all be covered in detail during a pre-q call though. It is different if you are already a current fbi employee. Then they do pack the boxes for you, but I'm not sure about if they do the same for other federal employees and transferring over to FBI. Packing can mean a lot of things, when they say pack and move, did they mean pack the pod or pack the boxes? My wife made sure my AC clarified. I would seek full clarification when that call comes. I've also seen this stated elsewhere by the FBI, they will pay for it to be loaded/unloaded, but not for the actual packing unless you are currently an FBI employee.

I'm definitely going to clarify all these things and more when the call happens so will report back on my findings as well. I'm single so if I need to have all my stuff packed to be ready to move after Quantico I'll have to try and take care of most of that before I leave.

My one big piece of advice is to leave everything on the track. This is it. You can collapse at home later, just as long as you make it while on the track.

I took a PFT in December. It was a group thing for sure. They kept us socially distant. For the sit-ups we put our feet under a fence instead of them holding. The run/sprint you had to stay in your lane. They had a good set up where I was. It was 28 degrees but a good setup. Looking forward to my pre-Q in some nice weather!
