Yuuup, I've been running about 3 miles 3-5 times a week and I went in thinking that it wouldn't be a big deal but it was still a challenge. I'm sure I'll do well on the VBT and that I'll pass, but still, it's nerve recking knowing your future hangs in the balance and determined by one single event. Thanks for the advice.BPA

just had a quick question for those attempting to get picked up as a GS-7 with college credits/degree, when did you send your OFFICIAL transcripts? I spoke to someone at MHC a while back when i did the E-quip and she instructed me to wait until I met with the BI, so i have not been any rush to send them and i am just waiting (which is fine, as we all know there is a lot of waiting) but just wanted to see where everyone stood as far as that goes.CBPO

Also, a substantial reason I applied was the potential to move around and work different jobs in different places, at least down the road. I know I'll be in this port for at least a couple of years, but I'm especially interested in going overseas with the Container Security Initiative, or seeing other parts of the country at least within the agency. Are these realistic goals, at least after making GS-11?
Thanks for any information you may have.
Are you thinking of 'permanent' moves...or temporary assignments?
Short-term TDYs are not that hard to pick-up...after a couple or so years on. More permanent moves are less easy to obtain...but a lot of that depends on what you bring to the table and how selective you are as to where you might go.
If you bring a lot of KASOs into the agency and/or obtain a lot of KASOs during your first few years working for CBP, then things like a placement in CSI might be within reach. If you're willing to go anywhere, such as the CNMIs, Whitlash, MT or Skagway, AK...the likelihood of moving about also might be within reach.
You might have to wait until you've earned your GS-12 though.

Originally posted by Harry View PostCongratulations. Hopefully I will join you at the academy pretty soon. I have a kick question. Did you retake the PFT1 or the medical? I noticed that they cleared for you over a year ago. My PFT1 and medical cleared on July of last year. So, I am concerned that I have to retake them pretty soon. My CASS is all green but I again I am concerned that I have to retake some of the steps before getting the call. Anyway, good luck for you.Last edited by Rms16; 07-16-2012, 11:23 PM.NYPD Exam: 3310 9/12
