Meaning entering on duty prior to your 37th birthday

Thanks, but is not EOD date, is when we receive our TSL. I jus called MHC and they said that I was selected on May 25 2011, just 8 days after I turned 37 . I will try to get a waiver. I will try it.

I hope you get it. They already spent money due to their oversite. Just do yourself a favor and have someone proofread your waiver request.

Thank you man. We usually say, "Thing happen for a reason". but sometimes we don't do enough and maybe I have to continue with this. I did my best as always so I will continue doing my best...

Hi guys, I just received a call from MHC, the person who sent the Over Age e-mail, he said that I am ok about the age and I received the e-mail because I was closed to the age restriction, so I am still in.

I also received an e-mail from him:

"36 years, 11 months, 26 days including the end date"

So I was referred and selected prior to my 37th birthday, on May 12 2011, 5 days before of my 37.

Let see what happen now.

Crushed the PFT1 today. Maxed out in all categories. The proctor for it was saying that there was a whole lot of people, more than usual, being processed for the Medical and PFT in the last week or so, and more in the coming weeks.

Been waiting since January 2009 and is not getting any easier.

I have mine this week also. I'm a lil nervous but confident that I will pass. Did you see other people while you were testing? Or was it done one by one?

You will do fine.
This PFT is the easiest PT test of all time.
When I took mine I was the only one and it was proctored by a physical therapy tech.

Hello/greeting

Good Afternoon everyone here, Ive been lurking here on this thread for a few months now researching the CBPO position and the facets of the application process. I am a June 2012 tester, who has recently gotten into the pre-employment process. I started going for southeast, but after wanting to get hired faster, switched to SWB, and got my TSL 09/12/12. Ive transmitted my Eqip and am scheduled to go the the VBT on Halloween this year, basically Ive done as much as I can to this point. I have a couple other friends who have gone through this process, and know to be very patient with DHS, but I am wondering if having previously held security clearances will help my background check move faster? My guess is yes, and I know from lurking that it is seemingly random in nature. Also, like a few others here as well, I have applied for the FBI SA listing, in which I am waiting to go to a meet and greet, as I missed the last 2 being out of town. But as I was selected as an alternate for the FBI process, the FBI could take significantly longer than CBP. If I were to EOD to CBP and then receive a firm offer from the FBI, would that be possible? I know that doing so would burn any future chance at CBP and likely DHS, but possible.

Also, any others who need help with the pft stuff and are located in West Orange county(Winter Garden/Occoe) Florida, I am in the gym and running 5 days a week for the past 3 years and always enjoy helping others succeed. PM I guess.

Same here, all for naught though! I thought it mattered, but as long as you meet the minimum it doesnt matter. 65 push ups for nothing. :\ lol

Don't be nervous. It's not hard to pass.

Nice. I looked at the requirements before the test so I stopped at 50 push ups and 50 sit-ups. 13 on the side step and 21 on the lift.

way to go Shark, you stuck with it and didn't give up

Your prior non-CBP investigations are more or less irrelevant. An offer and EOD from CBP would not keep you from getting an offer from the FBI. If you quit CBP to go the FBI, it will not end a future with CBP, but may result in a non-selection for a few years.

That's great news Shark. Good job sticking with it and making sure, bc that would have been a heartbreaking end to your process.
