CBP officer

[Alexb6237]

From what ive heard chances of being selected for city duties(Tucson or Phoenix) are slim to none. Borders are the most likely Nogales, Naco, Ajo ETC.....

Well this just rained on my parade. Lol. Well I guess I'ma have to do some research on good choices. Cause I'm coming from miami, fl. So it's gonna be a big change

[Alexb6237]

Wait, one more thing. I might have a misunderstanding, CBPO work at boarder too?? Or is that only Boarder Patrol.

hey just wondering if this is normal

under background investigation it says this: We have not received the background investigation documentation which is required to begin your investigation.

and under Pre employment forms it says this: One or more of your forms may have not been received. You will be contacted if additional documentation is required.

by the way i did fill out the equip and all the forms required in the begging when I applied

My buddy was a federal agent in Laredo and I visited a few times. It is a pretty decent city. He loved the fact that he was always busy. Being that you are from Miami, you might like Brownsville since it is super close to south padre island and beaches!

This will be my last post (unless I pass the polygraph of course) so I really want to wish you all good luck on your journey to this great career.

People failing by 2 min? Thats insane. Running a 1.5 mile in under 17 min 15 seconds is not hard. You can speed walk that 5 mph

The requirements at the academy are different than the physical test. Need to do 24 push ups, 1.5 mile in 15 minutes or less, sit and reach is 12.5 inches, and 220 in 45 seconds. All are easy to pass if you're in shape. I was just surprised at the amount of failures when you've come this far and have known all about it.

how do they measure the sit and reach?

Hey all. I've decided to accept the offer of Alexandria bay. It is very difficult to know the future and even though I know there is need for the port I wanted, there is not telling when the next announcement is and how long it will take to reapply and wait for the next job offer.

I got help from someone already but if there is anyone else that can give insight into this area please let me know. I will be taking a trip this weekend to get a feel for the area and will make my final decision this weekend. Any info given is good such as overtime, morale work load etc. Thanks in advance.

Pre-Employment forms omission is normal.
Background will update when they get around to CASS

I've traveled quite a bit within the states.. It's better in some places. Worse in others. I've been itching to get out of here for a long time. Florida isn't all its cracked up to be, for more than the reasons I just listed. Live here for a couple decades...

I'm looking forward to some snow and elevation changes.

Oh... and I'm female, but no worries!

Anyone else not have CASS updated for anything? Pft/medical were done...eqip was in on 8/16... everything shows pending. Including the background documents.

Ahh would have never guessed you were female based on your handle. I see you took A Bay, I think that's a much better choice than anything in Maine. Good luck too you.

Anybody of you guys is waiting on adjudication like myself?

I have a feeling that most of you in the adjudication have been there so long because there was a recent breach in security with the companies that are contracted out to do the background checks and that CBP has stopped dealing with some of these companies. Not certain but maybe that has something to do with it. Heading to FLETC in a week!
