CBP officer

[adman86]

Hi guys,

I am new to this forum and have been reading the posts. I got the following e-mail yesterday too:

Duty Location:

CBP - West Coast

This notice is to inform you that you have been tentatively selected to begin the pre-employment process for the position of Customs and

Border Protection Officer, with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.


I applied not knowing too much about this position. Can anyone comment on whether this is a "good job", are people generally happy or miserable? How often do you get step/job grade increases, and what are promotion opportunities like. Seems like it could be fun...i'm a small guy so little unsure about the medical/fitness and or FLETC. I am currently living in Mass but applied for West Coast since I didn't want to go to go to a northern border where there are more moose than people!

Look forward to continue reading this forum.

How long does MHC react to additional medical information requested after submission?

I'm going to be in class 360 - my fiancee was in class 347 and just graduated on wednesday. I was there for the graduation so I got a little tour and glimpse of FLETC. The rooms aren't that bad at all.

If anyone is going to be in 360, PM me.

I am in class 360 also

Cattanz,

I will be stationed in VT also, but Highgate Springs. I grew up there so I am used to the lifestyle. There is not much in or near Derby Line. From what I know they were hiring 5 officers, with I am guessing no more than 60 total, as it is similar to my port. If you have any other questions about the area just let me know.

I got two TSL's, for separate grades 05/07 this morning.

Central Eastern region, too.

Yea, my pft2 was last Thursday!

Congrats to those who got their TSL and welcome to the "exciting" waiting process.

Question: Where did it say in the announcement to choose the PFT2? I don't remember anything about that. Please somebody tell me. Thnx.

A separate e-mail will be sent to you with your unique application identification number that you should use when making inquiries on

this application. If you have questions relating to the status of your application, please visit the Central Applicant Self-Service (CASS) Hey i just got an email i think its what u guys call the "tsl" so basically all i have to do is wait for that email? And another thing can someone please explain me the grade 05 and 07? Thanks

Just got my TSL for Central East. Anyone know how soon will they schedule you for the medical and PFT1? I just sprained my ankle and will need sometime to heal it.

Usually from prowling the forum it seems to be 2 weeks to 6 weeks.
