CBP officer

FYI
All those calls going out last minute for the Aug 16 class is more than likely due to PFT2 failures...
So for all of you out there in "waiting" land, keep working out.
This is why my class is 19 short!

Are there any other females on here?


Future CBP FEMALE here too ....waiting on SWB since 08

What's the hold up? Have you completed everything and are now just waiting more? I applied 11-10 and didn't hear anything until they sent out the offer to change location. Once I did that everything has moved super fast. Just curious about wait times and what to expect.

This process is a lottery. It's a good gig, good pay, rewarding. We aren't entitled to it, but we are fortunate enough to have gotten ourselves in the process when we did. Even if it takes forever (and we seem to have entered into the abyss where our BI stays pending forever). Oh well. As disappointing and frustrating as this process is it isn't a health issue, the death of a loved one; it is a personal/professional failure by chance, which isn't that bad.

We are still in the process which has to be a good thing, right? They could have dropped us all a long time ago like the other agencies did with their applicants.

Well, yes in perspective its overall a good thing. I have a job, ill get to the one I want eventually, its not life or death. And the ones that have been around here for a while don't have to deal with that regional placement BS

You will run on a track along with whoever was called to EOD around your same time. They should give you about 5 minutes between each exercise.
220 yd dash
PU
SU
1.5 mile run

No SU at the academy though... just the sit and reach.

I haven't received my forms yet and I went back into pending in 05/11. I should give them a call to see if I've missed something. When did you guys get your forms?

Well I got up this morning and can't log into CASS. I'm quite sure that it's due to me not passing the pt. I passed everything except the `situps becuase of the stomach cramps we woman have once a month. Is there anyway to appeal it?

Shortybop,
You've passed the PT. They allow you to only fail one part. But you must pass that dam STEP TEST no matter what! When did you do your PT I haven't received my results yet either?

[merlin436]

for Any one in the academy right now how many people usually dont make it?

I haven't seen any numbers on the new classes. That's not all that surprising since the first class only graduated in June.

For FY10, the number was roughly 18% academy attrition.

On the CASS website it says that my structured interview has been scheduled but I haven't received any notification of when and where. Should I just wait for them to call or should I call/email them?

I would email them to get a definitive answer.
