CBP officer

[BibsAz]

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

It seems like we are moving fairly quick for this announcement.

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.

Mine was scheduled a little more than a month after my TSL. Hope your ankle heals before then.

Class 359 here. Anyone else?
Feel free to PM.

Hey Future, being at the Houston Port, are they going to make you go through the Spanish program?

I have heard of possible condensed academy for prior BP guys, but since that actually makes sense for the gov to save some cash, it probably won't happen.

Talk has it that there was a serious push with the training people and OFO to push forward with "mini-academies" for PA and CBPOs moving in either direction between OBP and OFO. It died when OBP refused to play ball and insisted that everyone transferring into OBP attend a full academy.

Until and unless OBP has a change of direction, I doubt we'll see any sort of condensed academies any time soon.

Yea that sounds like something the agency would come up with. Figures. Fine by me, Glynco is the sh*t compared to Artesia. Besides rent free for that much more time is good since I am gonna have to take a huge pay cut.

You're dealing with real people. You have to be cognizant of their feelings. I know that sounds silly, but its part of the job. Being able to relate to people will help you be successful with your job.

Man I hate to be negative here but damn those are some crap locations. If you want BP and you want experience go Arizona but stay clear of Ajo. As for Maine I would only take Calais. Not sure of the VT ports. I am BP in Van Buren ME if you want some insight feel free to txt or call 207-498-9090. I'll warn you though it won't be much good insight lol.

Del Rio and Nogales aren't bad places. Small but not bad.

Wow thank you so much, probably the best advise I've received on here lol. I'll keep that in mind. My auntie was a cbpo for 16 but they didn't have to do the vbt lol so she has no idea what advise to give. Excited for this round

[Shell_Back]

Got my TSL on Saturday (8/2). Didn't give me my actual duty location, just Central East Coast so far. Guess that will be determined at a later date.
