CBP officer

[action-packed]

Just asking. The one who fail, in what he/she fail? 220 yards, push ups, sit ups or 1.5 mile?

it was a girl. she failed the push ups. women seem to struggle a lot with the push ups. my CBP buddy did his PFT2 last year and he said 2 females fail the push ups.

Since you guys are talking about SW. I know what covers the SW region. But what i dont know where exactly are those ports???

Yeah same thing I was kinda wondering. I only know san ysidro, tecate, Otay mesa and yuma. I'm sure there's more but idk the rest. They seem to be smaller POEs I guess.

Most definitely agree with you there. I know there are not many major ports. But 90-95ish is about what your average BP guy brings in as well. I just had a really good year working a lot of nights at the NTC.

The average PA is at aout 101K. The differences are a bit skewed because the average PA has less years in service when compared to the average CBPO. If it's adjusted for equal base pay it's more like a 8-9K gap.

Those are figured on FY2013 numbers.

I've see various lists over the years covering various ports labeled as "Southwest". Some list Tucson, Phoenix and other "inland" airports as SW ports, others do not. I imagine, ultimately, there is no one universal definition of what covers the SW region. I guess you could ask the hiring center how they define "SW" as it relates to hiring.

That's probably as accurate as anything else out there.

Take notice of the phrase...-

(to include but not limited to the following locations)


That pretty much tells the tale there.

...in other words, it's your typical agency Humpty-Dumpty approach to defining something.

There are multiple federal LEO positions who are not covered under 12D/6C retirement or the GL pay scale. Go figure.

In the case of a CBPO, it reallly only matters at the GS-05 through the GS-09 pay scale. The GL pay scale only runs from the GL-03 through the GL-10 level. Every GL person converts to the GS pay scale if they promote to GS-11.

Awesome ... You really know your stuff
