Thanks. It states for female applicants only though. I'm applying ☺️

An announcement from BP that only targets females. ..that has intrigue written all over it. As far as I know, such a thing is a first for them.
I wonder if it's the foreguard of something to come...such as a merger?

I've decided not to even apply lol not willing to move to any of the hiring locations

I just applied to BP. Still did not hear anything for 14-2

I'm starting to notice that patience is key. Everything is months after each other. More time for me to prepare for the PFT2 & hopefully, I'll be at FLETC by the Summer.
Thanks for the well wishes!

You're 100% correct, patience is key.
I'm nearing the end of the academy here at FLETC, and all I can say it, it was well worth the wait.
Hang in there.

I just got an email and an automated phone call to call "Comprehensive Health Services" to schedule my exam. Does anyone know if this is the PFT1/medical ?

I've worked Sasabe. A great port. Somewhat remote...but only 70 minutes outside of Tuscon... by car.

North Dakota, Montana, Alaska, northeastern Minnesota, eastern Vermont, northern Maine..come to think of it much of the NB is arguably more rural than Sasabe.
I could see a need on a limited level for EMT's/first responders. A place like Piegan, MT or Alcan, AK are "way out there". That's assuming that anybody could get there easily. Drop three feet of snow there and land travel would largely shut down.

Alcan AK is actually the exception in regards to this topic. CBP actually runs a fully stocked and certified Ambulance in Alcan AK. It provides service to not only the CBP living compound there but also to the surrounding community.

lol, now you sound like my wife :-) she says I'll have trouble putting up with the bureaucracy and office politics (she works in the government). She, however, is the one that won't move to the boarder, and from the guys/gals I knew at the NTC I think I will do okay (or better). I also really want a real retirement and the ability to buy back my 8 years in the Navy.
Getting into this program is such a long shot, I figure if I get in it's meant to be. I hope (and believe) I'll love it, but if not I'll suck it up until 57. Or, as a back-up plan, IF I get board or otherwise frustrated, I might try to move to an investigator position. A few guys at the NTC-C tried to talk me into it, but it was GS-12 and my application at that level never go anywhere, so I figured this COULD be a spring board to that. Just an option if I get on the inside and decide that looks like a good option. Any thoughts?
I appreciate the insight though. May I ask where you are located?

I have been fortunate to have worked in many places all around the country. I have worked several years in a major airport/seaport in a East Coast Metro area. I have worked several years on the Northern Border in a town of less than 5000 people, Walmart was a two hour drive. Currently, in a Southwest Border Field Office though most of my time is spent on a taskforce right now.
