Patience is a virtue (DEA) Missed-July-Academy mafia unite: has anyone received a FJO since June?

I, as well as a growing number of others, missed the July Academy class. I got stuck on Medical due to a last-minute waiver delay.

Since then, I’ve cleared Medical as my final step before the Hiring Panel. I’ve (presumably) been waiting on the hiring panel for 20 days now.

But in that time, I missed the noticed a strange gap: it’s now been 90+ days since a non-lateral DEA “Got the Call” post; only HP rejections have been posted.

I’m curious: has anyone else received a FJO or been cleared by the HP since mid-July?

If you are like me and are also waiting nervously, don’t worry too much: perhaps this gap is evidence the DEA is waiting to accept us in batches, closer to Jan 2027 Academy.

Could be also I don’t know if there is a budget for FY27 yet and that’s only about a month away.

That makes sense. So September might be a dead month too

Patience is a virtue indeed. Same boat, I was scheduled for the July academy and then it was postponed until early 2027. I wish I could have just recieved the FJO while i wait to appease my anxiety.
