CBP officer

[kc12]

Again, everyone's offical EOD is on a Sunday because that is when the pay period starts. You may be told to report on a different day but your offical EOD date will more than likely be on a Sunday.

FB

The EOD on my SF-50 states Monday's date. It doesn't really matter, one way or another but just saying.

Hokiebird--It doesn't matter whether you are hired on Sunday or Monday, your start date will move one or two days into the pay period the next year so you will wait 27 pay periods before you are upgraded. I thought it was a BS move on CBP's part until I researched it and the OPM regs state all pay raises take effect the beginning of the pay period after the employee qualifies for the pay raise. So If you qualify for a grade or step increase 10-12-09 you don't see it until 10-25-09. Next year you would qualify for the raise 10-25-10, but since it is a Monday you won't receive it until 11-07-10.

Hey now barnaj, I'm turning 36 in January!! Nothing wrong with being over 35!! Lol!! I just chalk it up to more wisdom!! Yeah, that's what I'm going with!! Man I'm getting old!! But wiser!!!

I was going to take him to task over this, too, but you beat me to it. I turn 36 in January as well. When I applied at 34, I never thought it would become a concern. Shows what I knew about this process. I'd wish you Happy Birthday, but I'm sure I'll still be here to catch you then

well, I got the call this morning (again!).. I accepted San Luis, AZ. My EOD is Oct. 18th and FLETC Nov. 18th-March. Lady said the calls are starting to roll out, so good luck to all.

Congrats man, big up! Nice to see you're getting a week to get to your port.
I'm pretty much moving from one corner of the country to the other so hopefully i'll get 9-10 days also.

Just one question though, how long were you in TSU for? I didn't see your name on the list Antony compiled for AZ.

Best wishes smpleone! Just got back from FLETC, had a couple good people in my class that were going to San Luis as well. Only thing I can give you advice is, request to take leave before you head out to FLETC if they let you. Others in my class were asking for it while at FLETC an were not granted to them.

So after lunch my CASS updated, basically stating "Requirements Met" and then at 130 I get a call from TSU about a Job Offer.... AND of course I was in a training class, when I called TSU back, they said he was gone for the evening.... Grrrrr.....

For everyone wondering Smpleone's TSU date:

This post was from 4/28/09
EOD on 5/26/09
Looks like he broke his leg because his next post was on 9/17/09 stating they had to resend paperwork to clear broken leg.
Retook physical to validate medical for broken leg on 9/29/09
EOD yesterday 10/8/09

I could be wrong on this but that's what I found with my sweet stalking skills!!

Reminder: Monday 10/12 is a Government Holiday (Columbus Day), so you can walk more than 10 feet away from your phones without experiencing too much anxiety! The call will not come that day!
