Getting really close with my top pick agency. I am ranked number 2 in the selection process out of hundreds.

The chief picks recruits the 1st week of Nov. They are picking 30 for the academy class.

Only bad thing I have going is my credit score of 609. No out standing debt. Everything is paid off. Don't have any other background issues. No criminal record, moral issues, have a good driving record etc.

Any opinions? I have been  trying to get this job since Oct 2005 while on leave from Iraq. This is my second time interviewing since they didn't hire for 1.5 years.

relax you'll be fine.

A low score doesn't mean much. You don't have established credit which is better than stiffing creditors.

I wouldn't worry too much about the credit score.  Having no outstanding balance is a good thing as it shows financial responsibility.  Given enough time your credit rating will slowly go up.  Everything else you posted sounds like your good to go.
