DHS
The Department of Homeland Security has a vital mission: to secure the nation from the many threats we face. This requires the dedication of more than 230,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector. [Their] duties are wide-ranging, but [their] goal is clear: keeping America safe. (source: www.dhs.gov)

Is the APAT anything to be worried about ? I’ve had a physically active background since high school Gotta get 20 points and no zeroes. Make sure you do your pushups and sit ups the way they are outlined in the brochure or they will not count them. https://www.secretservic...rochure_Print%20safe.pdf From what I’ve read online, the requirements to pass the APAT is fairly easy. They postponed my APAT though

They say the APAT "may be reinstated at any time," and it appears that it has been: but still no details in their 2022 Uniformed Division .pdf file.

April 6- e-QIP Submitted
April 12: Security Interview was scheduled, but I emailed them on the 9th and withdrew from the process.
I was incredibly pleased with how quick it was all going, and how polite everyone was. It was incredibly fast. However, after speaking with other agent friends (even those in the USSS), I don't know if I'm prepared for the work/life balance (or lack thereof) that the Service provides. So I decided to withdraw. I withdrew before the update where they require you to do the PFT in the middle of all of this. Can you PM me, i have a few questions
