Has anyone here tried out for the FBI?

Their training standards are hard! Please give me your experiences and opinions if so. I would be a lawyer for them but as far as I know, I still have to go through the physical test and through the Academy before they leave me alone to lawyer.

I work out regularly but still think that it's going to be hard. I don't know how serious I am about applying but my one of my girlfriends and I are going to try to train up to their standards for a lark at the very least.

A few years ago, a friend of Mr. Rilch applied to the FBI. He was turned down because, they said, his answers on the ethics test or whatever they call it, and in the interview showed such perfect integrity that they figured it had to be an act. He went to police academy instead, and graduated first in his class.

My Cousin-in-law made it. He knew how to speak Russian.

If you know Arabic you are so in. The accept based on the qualification they need at the time. Plus I heard rumor that there is a war on terror and a shortage of arabic speaking employies in the FBI/CIA.
