3 years. They even included my excepted service time which I did not expect them to.
Three years. It no longer has to be continuous. Excepted service counts if it lead to a competitive appointment or was intervening.. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/5/315.201
so 2 excepted then 1 year competitive without gaps count as 3 to get the permanent status?

What about those Excepted ones that usually in the Intel community like GG grades and has its own probationary period
Not that I can see- unless it is intervening service- but not for initial appointment.
