well, I changed mine on wednesday and the last email that was sent out to change the geo said we had until the 8th of june. I called MHC and they said that they are in the process of changing over into the new preference code. And what ever you changed it to after the 8th, will be under the new code. For instance, I changed mine to Georgia. My new code will be Southeastern region, which includeds the state of Georgia.

Wow! I just took a quick vacation from reading these threads and new things pop up. I've been in both processes, bpa & cbpo, and I thought I knew every single acronym. Well, I'm gonna quote Borat... "NOT"!!!! What the fush is "SI"?

By the way yoda, I'd like to congratulate you for your EOD. I know you got it like a century ago but better late than never. Boy, I was a fan of yours already. I really admired your patience. I don't think anybody else deserved that EOD more than you little green dude. I really look forward to work along sides you. Enjoy man!!!!!

"Standard Interview" It is a panel interview.

[merlin436]

SI...structured interview.

Those of you in the running for BPA as well will likely have a SI for each position.

so they should send me an email back saying they received it soon? Are they just backed up?

[ladyta2004]

Yea. When they update their systems with the codes. I havent received anything yet.

Thanks man... it was a really long time coming, but I finally got it!...
Hope we cross paths in the line, and Best of Luck with your process!

well my husband's best friend works for CBPO at port of miami and he didnt start any of the steps until 2 1/2 years after passing the exam. He told me because my stuff is going through quickly since i picked the SW, that more than likely we will be in the academy beofre the end of the year. i hope this is true.

He went through when you tested and you waited year to receive a TO, and then the process flew by up to your EOD... That is no longer the truth, as you receive your TO rather quickly... do your steps one right behind the other, and then you sit and wait.
If you are just starting for the SWB you still have at least 2 years of waiting, unless they change how they do things in the near future...

In TSU since 4/09 for LAX/LB...2 years, 3 months.

I just felt like writing that.

Way back then, people were getting a EOD in under a year. If I only knew....

You should email them and make sure your processes are not expiring soon. I was in tsu 3/09 and then taken out due to expiring process.

Thanks, but I forgot to mention that I was taken out when my medical/drug/forms/B.I. all hit the magical 2 year mark.
drug renewed, medical i passed, just waiting on my 2nd B.I. to start

so i guess I'm not in TSU anymore, though I like to think I am.

I just applied to the LAX announcement for TSA. Suddenly their almost year long process doesn't look too bad.

I know on the machine that tested me, if i pressed the button when there was no soun it would repeat the test. The nurse that tested me said my hearing was fantastic, but when your sitting there you think your hearing things when you dont lol.

When I did mine...I got told I had perfect hearing. The look on my face was priceless, I thought I was pretty deaf! LOL

I have had extensive experience with tsa and the process for tso and in my experience larger airports and hubs tend to have there stiff together my process lasted 8 months on the noise. As long as u take first available appointments it goes faster. Only thing that sucks is tsa just got approval to add gender requirements to there posting. So if u score 100 on everything but they need girls they will take lower rank candidate for girls. Plus the probation period for tsa was two years when i did process a year ago. Watch out for the dual credit checks i was not sent to training because my foreclosure on my house took to long to clear. so i passed everything except final credit check.
