You'd think watching a few episodes of Border Patrol Wars/CBP on NatGeo or something would at least get you familarized with how agents pursue/interview suspects.

It's largely heavily edited play-acting". Much of what I've seen portrayed on TV would have one heck of a time receiving justification in many "real-world" CBP work applications.

I have my VBT and SI tomorrow morning. Consensus seems to be that it is self explanatory and to use common sense so we'll see. How was your SI paola_ram?
Good luck tomorrow MRS2121.Geo: SWB

Well it's good going into this VBT hearing a little positive information. Kind of difficult to prepare for. It says business casual. Are people going to wear suits?

From the FAQ:
"Although there are no absolute requirements for attire when taking the VBT and the SI, we can tell you that your VBT will be videotaped and later reviewed by a panel of trained supervisory/managerial CBP Officers. In addition, you will be meeting with 1-2 supervisory/managerial CBP Officers during the SI. Both the VBT and the SI will take place in a professional office environment where employees are either in uniform or professional attire. Most applicants tend to dress in business attire (e.g., a suit); however, you will not be rated based on your attire. Use your best judgment."
I'm going to wear a suit. I'd rather be overdressedGeo: SWB
