I probably just blew the classification level of this forum wide open and will now lose my probationary double secret clearance.
Pipe dreams.
My best bud, E-6 Ranger squad leader type (with a BS Degree) applied for Protective Services Officer and never got a call back. Makes looking at Paramilitary Ops Officer position as a joke now.
And a E-6 squad leader is the epiphany of success in the Regiment.

I completely understand, the fact of the matter is that I'm a civvie - a teenaged civvie at that. I didn't mean to offend anyone by bumping this thread, it's just I find the whole OGA path pretty pretty interesting...I just have one question.Maybe this is a little too much by asking, and I'm not trying to violate OPSEC, but it's usually former Tier 1 guys that find themselves in that unit, or is that just a common misconception? Again, I didn't mean to offend anyone - you guys are the real deal I won't ask anything about this unit again. Thanks.
What's a Tier 1 guy?

We had a member on this site who claimed to be SAD.
We banned him.
Coincidence? I don't think so.

So are you asking a question or are you not asking a question?
I attended a briefing by the CIA at my university about two weeks ago. The guy who gave the presentation on the Clandestine Service was a case officer, and he flat out said "Tier 1" special operations guys fill the Paramilitary role. I'm pretty sure no one knew what he was talking about, but I thought it was interesting he even mentioned it.

Send me your resume.
Guys,
It is the luck of the draw. That's it. What is the flavor for the month. I know from experience, from those who made it and those who did not that includes myself. This covers all government jobs. I have seen the Government select people with PhD that could not tie a shoe but could write a great paper. Then seen them hire someone that can shoot a a dime at a 1000 yards with a pistol but is lucky to write his or her own name. Just keep applying if you want it that bad.

Understood.
You should have asked him what Tier 1 means. ;)
How come no one wants to be a tier one walmart front entrance operator? Otherwise known on the inside as "the greeters".
Jesus dude, OPSEC!!!
And I'm still waiting for an answer on what a Tier 1 Operators is. Google turns up nothing or re-directs me to the YT video of that awful Gangnam Style song.
I do but my wife will not let me quit my current job
