i have been with CBP for 4 years now and i'm working on getting my 6pack on my own (about 600 bucks) and i have own a boat for over 10 years and can document most of my useage for the certification and for A&M. they open this about twice a year, and i should be ready for the next one.

Originally posted by nonsense View PostBoth mnewsome and I turned down offers due to locations being unacceptable to our families... that being said, we were removed from consideration and we had to reapply at the next announcement. I am very surprised that they told you what they did. I'm not saying I don't believe it, they may have changed the process since last year. Keep in mind, it is a gamble, mnewsome is EOD'ing very soon, and I am still waiting to be contacted for a poly and who knows when that will be.
Who knows what will happen, the gal from the scheduling unit did not offer up the 30 day deferral until I pressed the situation a little. I don't know if this had anything to do with it but I mentioned I was a ten point vet and I could just file another application since I have completed all the steps.
She was very helpful and understood the situation, I must say I have had great experience with the MHC.
If I do not get another job offer I can accept that, my family is just too important to me to strain it in anyway by taking a location that we would not like. Plus I am still in the running for the DEA SA position, as well as AFOSI, and the Deputy US Marshal, and I'm a current federal employee so its not like I don't have a job.Last edited by Firefox; 12-15-2012, 03:01 PM.

I asked specifically about locations when I was offered only one, because I would prefer Atlanta by far, and I wouldn't mind a deferral. They told me that if I turned down Charlotte, I would be completely removed from the process. No deferral was ever offered....I would have taken it!
I'm not unhappy with Charlotte, but the Mr. and I already own 2 houses in Atlanta and it would be much better to be able to stay where we own property.
Seriously, I have heard so many different things - is there really a 3 year wait before you can try to transfer?CBPO
