HELP WITH GI BILL??
I received my final offer for Skid Row. My #1 preferred location. I plan to utilize my ) Post 9/11 (Chapter 33 GI Bill while at FLETC and FTO status after, as well. FOR THOSE THAT HAVE USED CHAPTER 33: Will I get paid my BAH rate from where the paper work is filed (ie San Ysidro)? Or will it be at the Glynco rate?
Vast differences, so your experience would help figure out my budget tremendously. I can hypothesize with the best of 'em. I have also contacted VBA, and they are uncertain as well. They recommend just wait and see what I get after filing. Please help if you have direct experience in this area. Thank so much.CBPO

Yoda,
As usuall, your willingness to share your experience (combined with this great news) is greatly appreciated. This news makes a difference of more than $1k per month while on training. Of course, I will not entirely plan on it unti I see it in my bank account (this IS the VA we are talking about), but that takes care of some debt AND my cross country move. So excited to see if this turns out how I hope. Thnak again. You are a great servant and mentor.

Dallas is a fairly good sized port...a couple of hundred CBPOs or so...plus assorted support/admin/tech staff.
Austin is fairly small...15ish CBPOs, maybe a couple of support people.

Any idea when the agency will open up to applications again? A year ago I somehow was unable to pass the structured interview.
Also, the letter I received stating I did not pass the structured interview said I can become active again in a years time, does anyone know how to go about doing this? Wouldn't my test score be wiped away anyhow since I tested in July of 2011?
