In the military we call those 30/60's or 60/120's, its exactly what CMUnupe was saying..... Run full blast for 30 seconds and then jog for 60 seconds and repeat for 30 mins. Once these start to fill like a joke move up to 60/120's where its the same thing just a longer sprint time but more jogging/cool down. I dont know how long you have before your retest but if you start these a month or 3 weeks at least before your test you should be good. I also learned from running distance in the army and sprinting in high school that you should just relax the day before and drink plenty of water and like he said pasta. Here is something a Special Forces dude told me at selection.... "If your not vomiting when you cross the finish line, You didnt give it your all! Run till you vomit and if it happens before you finish keep running".

You sir said it best....... 1.5 miles without pu and su is a totally different animal then 1.5 miles after doing pu and su. Sit ups tend to wear out your hip-flexors, which in turn make your legs get worn out a lot faster then they would if you just got on a track and starting running..... It happens a lot in the Army...."but SGT I didnt fall out of the 3 mile run last week, I thought I would have passed my PT test"- PVT.....Test -02 April 2012

I dont' think this was the right statement,anyway it contradicts to what is posted as the starting salary for CBP officer, if it was right the job announcment would state starting salary 27431-33979 but it says 31315-38790Gek.

thats true the pay start at $31,315.00
USAJOBS - Search Jobs
then that mean at GS-5 you start at around step 5
so from there every year same month you go up 2 Grades same step?
and once you hit Grade 12 you go up one step every year?

That $27,431 pay chart is base pay only. As a practical matter, ignore it as a new hire...it'll 'never' apply to you.
'Everyone' makes some sort of 'locality pay'. Find your area on the current pay charts.
2012 General Schedule (GS) Locality Pay Tables
Most new hires will see a progression identical to this each year:
GS-05/01
GS-07/01
GS-09/01
GS-11/01
GS-12/01
GS-12/02
GS-12/03
GS-12/04
That'll cover the first few years. Steps 04 through 06 take two years to move beyond. Steps 07 through 09 take three years to move beyond.

If you're in good shape a week is not going to make you weak and slow.
Shaniajam, make sure when you're trying this new workout to stay off your heels when your feet strike the ground. I you want, I will try and post a link of some video explaining this. Getting injured isn't an option.

Let me break it down for you. As the vacancy announcement (USAJOBS - Search Jobs) says, the starting pay is $31,315.
There are two salary tables relevant to this discussion. Table A is Salary Table 2011-GS (found at Salary Table 2011-GS). Table B is Salary Table 2011-RUS (Rest of the U.S.) (found at Salary Table 2011-RUS).
Table A shows the base salaries. GS5/5 on Table A is $31,087. This is obviously different from the starting salary on the VA. The salary on the VA is not on Table A. Table A is relevant to this discussion, but it is not relevant to the position.
Table B shows the base salaries plus locality pay for "the rest of the United States" which has the lowest locality compensation. GS5/1 on Table B is $31,315, which happens to be the same salary that is listed at the lowest starting salary on the VA.
I also draw your attention to Table B, GS7/1. The salary is $38,790 which is the top listed starting salary on the VA.
Any questions?Gek.

and once you hit Grade 12 you go up one step every year?
If you start as a GS-5 then the following year from EOD date you go onto GS-7, then the following year to GS-9, then the following year to GS-11, the the following year to GS-12... The following year after hitting 12 you will get your step increase, this will happen if I'm not mistaken for your first 3 steps, then it'll be every 2-3 years for the other steps. I'm not quite certain on the time gap for those other steps, but I do know they are not every year. In theory you should be able to hit GS-12 step 8 before you retire from your 20 year career if you started as a GS-5.Last edited by yoda; 04-27-2012, 12:10 AM.CBPO

Originally posted by Midwest24 View PostFirst post here, I've been creeping on this site and reading everyone's post for quite sometime and want to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge of this process, anyway, I'm not sure if I overlooked the answer/educated guess to this situation: It has been 9 months since I met with my BI and I recently called IA to ask my status, they said my polygraph results were JUST received and have been sent for a review to see if I'm suitable or not suitable for hire. Roughly, does anyone know how much longer it would take, on average, for them to review the results after "just receiving the report?" I'm guessing 4 weeks to at least 5 years (slight joke to those of you that lack sarcasm or humor), just by estimating on how the G works.
Also, another questions is I applied for AZ (I guess anywhere in the state where they need it) how is the living situation down there (besides boring and isolated), are the officers cool with one another, do they live in close communities with each other and look out for one another? How is the camaraderie at the ports there (for the most part), Do the officers get along well on the job also after work? I'm a social person and I'm just wondering how ppl treat each other on and off duty, considering a lot of us are moving along the border towns from across the US, and I just want to know if the officers/BPA kind of "stick together" with the living conditions and hanging out, if you will? If you guys don't know no big deal, I guess that's what the EOD pre-academy is also there forI know this isn't my main concern, but it is a reality that will occur. It's all well and good to work, but what you going to do after work or on your days off? You have to make the best of it, I suppose.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but there are many people going through the process that applied for both CBPO and BPA. It doesn't seem to interfere at all..."Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
