Veteran\u2019s Preference at the end of phase III or IV is not beneficial to the veteran candidate, as he\/she may have failed the Phase II federal exam. No other federal agency does this after the fact! As I understand, no Veteran\u2019s Preference is given on the Phase II Screeners exam. Why not?<\/p>\n<p>All other government agencies (Post Office, Department of Defense, Dependent Schools [DODDS], PSS-CNMI) all give the 5 pt. preference on ANY federal government exam. Why not TSA?<\/p>\n<p>Not giving the 5 pt. Preference on any government exam is highly irregular and unfair to all returning veterans (including current Iraqi combat veterans).
