CBP officer

[noname1]

yeah, I don't get home from work until 6:30ish and by the time I hit the track at 7:00... I only have about 30 minutes of daylight left, which sucks, but then I head to the gym afterward and lift weights, I've been thinking that maybe I should start swimming too, might make me a better runner.

That FBI fitness grading scale is no joke. I can run a 1.5 in 11:30, but that is only 3 out of 10 points for the FBI...thats about the max i can do..i sprinted the 300 meter for MNPD in 48 seconds and that is 1 point for the FBI. I could probably go a bit faster but not much. I do the 220 yards in 38 seconds for the CBP test.

So..... Are you guys planning to participate in any Olympic games??? Dude... I don't want to run with you... I'll watch your backs...

User is practicing for the FBI fitness test. It is no joke. The faster you run the more points you get. Its not like CBP. An 11:30 1.5 mile is only 3 out of 10 points for the FBI. You have to score a minimum of 12 points with at least 1 point in each event...4 events

Haha Shark you're talking to a guy who 4 years ago was almost 40 pounds over weight a smoker and i ate fast food 3 to 5 times a week. Being able to run the 1.5 in 10:33 still blows my mind!! I quit smoking and started to hit the gym. I've worked hard to get here. You know what shark if you watch my back im good with that so long as we get an EOD....sooner rather then later.

Haha, good job Rms16. As I said before, my best time was 13:30 but for sure on PFT2 day I will do it in less time... one day man one day..... Incredible, almost 2 years after our application.....

So how many points is 9 min in the 1.5

For your speed....9 to 9:19 is nine points....8:59 and below is the max 10 points.

This question has probably been answered already but, for the sake of saving me a large amount of time searching, can somebody tell me if your test score for CBPO also be applied to a future BPA opening?

No cbpo and bpa have separate tests.

I picture mine sitting on a desk pushed aside collecting dust. When they first started my BI they were actually told to give priority (my guess to easy BI's) first and set aside other more difficult BI's till later and I am 100% sure mine was the latter. I was very honest on my equip and named many family members living in foreign counrtries. I maybe have contact with them once a year through email, but I didn't want to take any chances so I named everybody. Hindsight maybe I shouldn't have, but atleast now I know that I was truthful and revealed everything. You have no idea how frustrating it can be to see so many fly through the process and I'm stuck at the great wall of BI. Don't get me wrong I'm happy for everybody that gets through bc I know how much a Leo job means to me and I'm sure it means just as much to everybody else. Although I would just love it if god and IA/MHC can just cut me a break and just call me with an EOD. I know I'll make a great officer, if they would call me I could show them.

I can totally relate. I think I might being held up because my inlaws are from out of country.. yay.. It just seems that it wouldn't really take so long to perform one of these things.. quick credit check / criminal hx, check references, and be done.. but like we both think.. It is likely they are looking at simple backgrounds and going for those first to keep up with the demand of filling classes.. they probably look at ours and are like.. naaa.. I'll get to that when things slow down.. lol.. I hope not though but it is after all.. the federal govt

Does CBPO offer tuition reimbursement?

Yes

[-USER-]

Yeah practicing for the FBI fitness is tough, I might as well be practicing for the Olympics lol and it's all good, because which ever academy I end up at, I am going to tear it up and make some heads spin

Hey, guys just out of curiosity, does anyone here know of someone being offered a second shot at the PFT2? Again, I'm just wondering. I know my ship sailed two weeks ago when I failed the run, but I'm hoping a rescue raft will drift by. :-)
