Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. I EOD on OCT 21 at San Ysidro and have an academy date of NOV 27 - APR 10. It was originally NOV 18 - APR 1. Im hoping this budget gets figured out soon so we can all get our career going. Also if anyone else is EOD-ing at San Ysidro on the 21st and wants to get a place, PM me.

holy cow... pointman ... that is total suck...i would have thought you resume where you left off.

i'm headed to my hometown on this furlouhcation...

Add me to the furlough list. We received an unofficial notification from the PD yesterday just before quitting time. We had to report back in this morning in order to sign our official furlough letters and then back home I went until further notice. My academy date was pushed back last Friday. While I should have been traveling today enroute to FLETC (instead of back to my house!), my class is currently rescheduled for Oct 15. We'll see! The upside is that I not only was fortunate enough to finish all of my pre-academy stuff, but was also able to get ahead of many of the mandatory VLC's currently scheduled through early next year!

I'm sorry about all you guys and girls being furloughed. Especially when it comes to a process like this one, where so much time is spent waiting only to reach the end and then told to wait some more. Take solace in this at least you have all green checks. Good luck and I'm sure this will end quickly and you can all get back to your future careers.

For all of those who are curious I am currently in Academy and we are ALL going home. We will be told when to come back whenever that is. Staff has no clue to when that will be. When we do come back we will have to start from day 1. We will NOT pick up where we left off from.

BTW, congrats Amac. Can't wait to meet you.........Eventually, lol

That really does suck (for lack of a better term). I look forward to meeting you as well. Did you already move your family down there?

Nah, they move to Brownsville when I'm done with the Academy.

Im in class 335 and it seems as if all signs are pointing to having to start the academy all over again.

Im in class 335 and it seems as if all signs are pointing to having to start the academy all over again. These have been a miserable few days, with an outrageous amount of inconvenience and personal expenses incurred. Dont really know what else to say other than that when you have the job you dont really have the job lol

I probably met you already man. I'm in class 334, lol. You guys lucked up with those iPads, lol
