I don't want to get ahead of myself; but if I make it through the process, would anyone have any recommendations on which port to choose in the Florida region? best opportunity for overtime and cost of living are 2 of my main concerns.

Hey i got the email for eqip 3 days ago. Or is it because today is a saturday? I already had info saved on eqip so i just had to update them. It's all sent now . Fingers crossed to see what is next and how soon.

Are you guys going through the process like me? I'm waiting in my BI and drug test only to complete the app. Do you mind letting me know yours? Took me 6 weeks between submitting my eqip and getting the call for the poly.

I'm waiting for my BI to wrap up also.
I did my sit down interview earlier this month.
My friend said it took him 2 months after his sit down with the investigator, until his BI was done.

I failed out the VBT back in march, so I reapplied for this opening

I passed my poly 3 days ago, I hope I hear from my BI soon. Although we tested same week but our process was different. How long did your poly take?

Hi Everybody.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any insight on where I might be able to stay for short time in the Blaine and Bellingham Washington area? 30 days or less. I will be travelling alone so a studio or 1 bedroom place will suffice as I won't be there much between work, Crossfit and finding a more permanent place for my family to live after the academy. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Call Blaine. They ought to have a contact or two that has experience assisting/advising new hires on what options exist locally.

Scroll down the pay charts for the various pay rates. Most ports fall under the "rest of U.S." chart.

Poly took about 4 hours.
Got a pass. Took about 3 weeks after passing to hear from an investigator about him meeting up with my contacts/references.
Would be nice to know someone from here to go to FLETC with. Haha

4 hours of questions?

From what I understand, the poly will cover just about all of your SF86 answers as is very in-depth.

Did your background get cleared on CASS? Yes, we might take same classes at FLETC

[FutureCBPO]

4 hours of questions?

It is very in depth indeed.
It wasn't all questions.
From start to finish 4 hours.
They go over the polygraph and the instruments.
Practice questions. Don't want to say too much of course.
But questions wise. Maybe 1.5 hours in broken increments.

And no my background hasn't cleared cass yet. That's what I was talking about, when I said my friend said it took him about 2 months to clear after his background investigator interview.

Jade - what geo did you pick?
