Yoda, it might not take people very long to be hired from the most recent application. If the decision is made to throw out all applicants selected under FCIP, the recent testees would be at the front of the line, assuming the "unfair" practices had been remedied by the time the recent announcement was made. I'm not even confident in telling the new testees that it will take a long time. I am confident about nothing regarding this process, other than that it is a good deal and I want the job.

Originally posted by Maverick7 View PostI see, the only reason I ask is because typically your test score is a good indicator of how much time one would spend waiting around correct?(e.g. a candidate who gets a 95 is more likely to be called for the medical, physical, and VBT before a candidate who scored an 85, even if that call is months or years away). It would be nice to know where I stand and how much emphasis I should place on this. I just graduated college this December and becoming a CBPO has been my primary career choice for the last 2 years, I'd hate to have to put it on the back burner because of a sub-par test score.
Do not make the same mistake I did by placing all your eggs in the CBP basket... I let many opportunities go by waiting for this job. I have since begun to move along with my life, but still with a bit of hope that I'll get called in the next 6 months, if not then that's the end of the line for me in this process.
There are way too many IF's AND's or BUT's hanging in the air with the Feds with the termination of FCIP, we'll se what happens...CBPO

Thanks much for your insight Yoda, I'm sorry to hear the process has eaten so much of your time with little in the way of progress or rewards. I wish you the best of luck as well. If you don't mind could you send me a PM elaborating on a few things? I'm still a bit new to this stuff, not sure what FCIP, TSU, and these "new processes" replacing FCIP are that are giving veterans and/or recent graduates a better chance at getting picked up. Thanks much in advance.CBPO

CASS says: MHC will contact to schedule Medical / Drug. This makes it the THIRD time for me. I originally tested in March 2008. On a bright note, why would they put me through this again if the POTUS E.O. for F.C.I.P. was a death sentence for us old-timers in the pipeline.Le gra'sta De' a Theim.

thanks,
From what I was told, a recent availability of funds enabled them to start pushing a good chunk of people through before March.
It seems like we both entered TSU at around the same time so you might be surprised with a call soon too. Here's hoping!
Good luck and hang in there"Veni, vidi, vici."

Are ya'll going to the southern border?But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Getting anxious here. It seems the southwestern border applicants for Arizona and Texas whom have received their call recently this year all have TO dates of April 6, 2009. Hoping San Diego, CA is just as far up the list.Last edited by Thoughtless; 01-14-2011, 06:56 PM.

Can anyone tell me why my CASS went back to showing all the steps with green check marks next to them? I tested in Aug 08, got put into CASS in May 09, got booted out when a bunch of us had to redo our credit checks, and was put back into CASS with a new date, found out the call is now based on TO date, not the date you cleared everything.
I more or less tried to forget about this gig and moved on to other things, still waiting for this call like crazy. I've still been reading this forum weekly as I thought I had problems with my username/password.
LAX/LB since 09. Ugh.

Originally posted by Thoughtless View PostSame thing here. I have been in TSU 2.0 since September 2010 and my CASS online/hotline went from awaiting EOD to everything is completed/all green checkmarks. The last time I was removed from TSU, at least one item was pending. Anyone have an educated guess what this means?"Veni, vidi, vici."

I just thought I'd stop in one last time. I have decided to stop visiting this forum. There is a distinct lack of moderation, and there is no valid way to determine who is and who isn't a LEO on this site. For those of you who will check my profile, I do have myself listed as a security guard, but I assure you I have more time sitting in the driver seat of a patrol car than many on this forum. I also have spent more hours than I care to admit working primary and many hours I have loved working cargo. For those of you in the pipeline good luck, hang in there. It is definitely worth it. Try to have fun at 109 at FLETC, it is what you will be doing for a long time.
I will not come back to check any posts or threads on this site. If you have any questions I can easily be reached with a simple PM.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
