Has anyone taken the test this year in the Central/Eastern region and gotten any notification besides a NOR? I took the test in Jan and all I've got it is a NOR (97). Almost want to change to the SW just so I can get the ball rolling.

Len and Getsome are right 97 is a great score, but you have to also understand that their are some people waiting with a score of 100 to 105 with Vet points. Its your decision to make to switch or not, it could be a long wait. I don't know enough about the region to give advice to switch or not and that's something you need to really look at. I do know northeast is a pretty long wait they are still calling testers from before the freeze. Maybe somebody on here has a little more info on central and can jump in and give some advice. Switching to SWB is a big decision to make. You will be there for a few years atleast. You have alot of members on this forum that give out some great info ask around and see what you hear. Good luck!

Hey Get Some, have you noticed any movement on your credit history? I received an alert that there was an inquired on the 7/26 by DHS. .

So, do they check your credit history first? before the PFT1? What would be next after you send in your fing prints and E-quip?

Do you know which credit Bureau did they check

Off the top of my head...

Counting TDYs for training sessions and 'local' TDYs, Over the last few years I've seen:

Buffalo, NY
Champlain, NY
Chief Mountain, MT
Laredo, TX
ACTT TDY in multiple locations around AZ and TX.
Glynco, GA
Lots of locations in and around Washington, DC.
Hurricane Katrina

Outside the US, I've seen Iraq and Toronto, CA fairly recently.

That's not even close to a full list however.

Truthfully, most ports and most major events (protests, conventions, major disasters, large sporting events, etc.) will probably draw at least a few TDYs. Most positions in the CSI and pre-clearance over-sea locations are staffed with TDYers. Some of them, like the AZ ACTT TDY, are staffed on the backs of at least a handful of 'volun-told' people who are forced out as low man seniority-wise.

In short and at least within a limited scope, they're pretty much potentially anywhere.

Thanks so much Merlin! That was great info.

I think they check all three. Last time I checked two of three and both had an inquiry by DHS. I couldn't check the third and can't remember which one I didn't check.

There is no set order to the steps. I did my medical and pft1 before meeting my BI, but that's not how it always goes.

Thanks, I was wondering about the order of the steps, but I guess it varies by person.

Think about it everyday, just awaiting the opportunity.
