For those who went to NSA through CCA, can you walk me through the process?
How long did it take to actually get in the seat
How long until FSP
And anything else you can think of that would be helpful
Thank you!
To get into the seat was around 6 months from signed offer to being in a building. As far as FSP, for me the process was around 1.5 years, the majority of the time is waiting for the polygraph appointments to be scheduled. Expect around 4 months in between and to go at least twice, maybe three times before they “pass you”. 3 is the maximum without needing special approval for another and they will automatically read you off the contract if you fail 3 times. Mine was a bit longer because I had to take 4 polys.
You can do like 90% of what you need to do for the job day to day but you will encounter a few roadblocks of things you can’t access.
