CBP officer

[lccan]

Hey there, no need to worry I think you must have just read it wrong.

If you score evenly across the board in all tests, to pass you would need 17 push ups, 25 sit ups, lift/lower in 50 seconds, and 10 line touches in 10 seconds. That would give you a score of 80. Hope that helps.

I will try to relax. Good luck on your physical let us know how it goes. I am still waiting for medical clearance on mine before i can take mine. So i just need to keep working out.

I kind of scared because that means i would have to preform about 33-34 pushups, 35 sit ups in a min, i don't know if i can do that many that fast.

Just think POSITIVE, you can do it!!! Get the negative thinking out of your head...good luck!!! I retest for my fitness Friday, I'm ready to get back in TSU and get back to 'guarding' my phone haha!!!

Hey, what is being a CBP Officer like? My landlord is one and he keeps telling me I should apply to be an officer up here in Alaska because they have such a hard time keeping people up here. He says they are always looking for guys up here. Is this true? Do you get to choose like that where you go?

Quick question... Once I get this mythical phone call from TSU to start my training, how long will they give me before I start the initial training?


Time keeps on ticking....

SDCPB,

I took the written test in June of 2008, the only person I know in TSU is a guy going into the Border Patrol. Another buddy of mine took the BP written test in June of 08 around the same time I did mine and he is already back from the academy and been on the job for 2 months! It seems like they are really fast tracking those guys.

hmmmm.... doesnt seem like it looks good for us folks im guessing in 2009. I Just got into TSU the beginning of this month for East Texas. Judging by the way things are going for some of us, I think im not gonna hold my breath. The way i look at is, and in this economy apply for other jobs, it doesnt hurt to apply for everything your interested in, Im gonna apply for other LE jobs if i get offered before CBP calls then i will go from there. I can always decline if CBP starts to finally put some ppl on the job. To me it sounds like DHS anticipated to hire alot of ppl and now their freakin out with an overflow of ppl. We'll see.

[koalica]

just wondering, does anyone know if a "990" area code is used when getting "the call"? It's the 2nd time I've missed it already and frankly I'd hate to get my hopes too high up there only to answer to a prank-calling buddy or something

[tippmann87]

You must be, your TSU date is before mine. You should get taken before me.

Not necessarily true.....I got into TSU before AmahastPL for IAD and he's already at FLETC while I still wait for the call........
