There's been a lot of posts lately regarding the TSU. What about after you get done with FLETC. How long have the wait times been after you got done with FLETC before you were contacted for deployment?

If I understood the FAQs correctly on the CBP website, once you get done with training there's another undefined waiting period for the deployment notice or phone call.

Thats incorrect. After you graduate fletc, you have one travel day and then report to your duty station for work. Unless of course you get some leave approved after graduation.

if you get to fletc that means you were hired. you usually start pre fletc training at your poe/station, usually 2-4 wks. Then you go to fletc and when you are dont there u go back to your poe/station to start your post fletch training right away. as far as i know there is no more waiting after fletc. your in and on probation for 3 yrs. thats how i understand it. good luck

It’s my understanding you report to your port a few days after FLETC and immediately begin work. You are an official employee as of your very first day of pre academy. (EOD date) I have heard you can request some vacation time after FLETC so you can move or whatever, but I have never heard that you have to wait around for another call.

probation is 3 years? I thought it was two.

2 years.

It is usually two years. However, under EO13162, FCIP can be extended for another year (a total of three years) if the nugget's department or agency (with OPM's blessing) deems it necessary.

Yeah. I assume that if they are still wondering about your ability to work the job after two years, you probably aren't going to successfully complete your probation anyway!

True. The only instances I have seen a nugget's FCIP go to three years, was when the nugget had been detailed to multiple places for large chunks of their first two years. In these cases the nugget's sups. felt that they had not "seen" enough of the newbie's skills, and that the sups. felt that another year was necessary.

Well so far seems to be a pattern..everyone is pretty much around the same months 4,5,6 ect..of 2009, other than an ocasional person whose been waiting since 08... I have 2 co-workers whose been in TSU since 8/1/09...then another co worker whose been waiting since 5/?/08?. I think he's giving up, and that's for E. TX... I was also told when I called TSU that E.TX has a LONG wait list, whatever that means...so I'm wondering if there are people waiting for E TX from 5/08 to now ?..if so that sucks.

Are you sure your coworker has been waiting since 5/2008?? I have a friend who sister had a TSU date of sometime in Nov, she EOD in March and graduated in June. On another forum, I saw another person who had a TSU date of like 11/20/08 who EOD in early May, both were for E Texas. I find it hard to believe that your coworker has been waiting in TSU since 5/2008 for E Texas.

I hope that that is not the case. I have been waiting in TSU for East Texas since 4/10/09.

i stand corrected.. i think you are right 2 yrs. probation

I don't think so, I mean how could 2 people (that I know of) have a TSU date of 6 months after and already EOD. Unless her coworker got called and turned down what was offered and is holding out until he/she gets where they would like to go.
