Just heard ICE will be announcing vacancy opening in a few weeks. I know quite a few ATF agents who grew tired of the mistreatment at the hands of ATF mgt and lack of career advancement. They took laterals over to ICE. I keep in touch with them and they all are really happy that they decided to leave ATF. Two of the guys got their 14 in less than two years. Didn't ATF just cancel the assessment center so SESer's could receive their $50,000 bonuses? All of you younger ATF agents should consider this move as it appears ATF as an agency has no viable future. DHS receives all of the funding now while ATF fights FBI and DEA for funds and always loses. ICE is looking for agents with firearms, arson and bomb investigation experience and will reward you for your hard work and support your investigations. When was the last time your SAC/ASAC did a thing to support agents' investigative efforts? Most were more concerned with getting their bonuses and screwing over their agents. See Jay D and Vince C as an example
