Got my drug test done last week, off on to BI.

NIce Allistar, what is your timeline?

The guy that got the TO in west texas did he take his test in December?? Has anyone heard any TO's about Louisiana???

Yup I took the test in December. I also took the border patrol exam got a 92 on that. I'm surprised customs responded before border patrol!

When you guys sent in the initial forms did you sign EVERY single paper even if you left them blank?
Like to qualify for the gs 7 pay grade you need a graduate degree which I dot have so I left it blank. Do I sign it anyways?

Thanks.

Awesome dude, congrats!! I took my test in December too, just hoping to get my TO soon because I am tired of selling copiers for Xerox!! Haha. My geo is in New Orleans.

With a government shut down looming, what does this mean for those of us preparing to EOD at our POE? I EOD on Monday, April 11 in San Ysidro and trainees at Glynco are being told to make plans to return home on Saturday. No word from my POE to not report on Monday but I have a feeling my time at pre-academy is either going to be extended for an undetermined length of time or everyone is just going to be furloughed.

Unless it's changed recently, you do not need a graduate degree to qualify as a GS-07.
It is/or was one year of relevant, specialized experience or 1 year of graduate school.

I doubt that they will have your pre-academy extended, expect to be sent home.

I thought they are in need of officers at SWB since I noticed a lot of posts lately showing a sudden push to finish the selection process. Anyone know when the budget is to come out?? and if they are still planning to hire that 1000 agents that was initially proposed??

The 1000 agents were for BPA. We are going to get somewhere in the range of 200-250 new CBP officers. A low number, but still way higher than last years.

I really think Congress will reach a resolution by then, or at least another extension. Government is inefficient, but at the same time, they know Government still needs the money and man-power to function to keep everything moving.

However, if those in FLETC really have to go back home this Saturday, only to return back again a few week later- I'd feel really bad for them. Let's all be optimistic that it'll work out in the end.

Just waiting for CASS web to update.
