Umm if your issued a taser you have to qualify on it. I don't know about you but I'm not interested in taking any "ride".

Yeah it sucks, I already have though. I am also certified as an instructor, so I get to shock people...Kinda fun sometimes..

How long????

Is that a five (5) second Zap for those who want to carry?

Tazers are right around the corner. From what I understand, will be a choice if you want to carry. Starts implementing Nov 2008 in Southern Borders then nationwide.

Sheesh...

CBPO's are not getting tasers.

Border Patrol is implementing a very narrow program to test tasers amongst it's agents within a very limited scope along the southern border.

The chances of any line CBPO's being taser certified in the near future are slim to none.

Yeah, five seconds. They can choose whether they want to be shot with probes or alligator clips on their shirt.

Wow Tasers, I don't think it will come to CBPO's, but interesting to think about. Ladies and Gentlemen at approximately 08:35 eastern time I received a call!....THE CALL! I will be starting Nov. 10th at MIA Airport. My Fletc start date is Dec. 2nd - March 20th. Does anyone here know if they will be going to this class? Anyway, I just wanted to share, after month and months of waiting the patience and persistence paid off. =)

grats dood. Im waiting for Miami as well. Quick question - did your background check off in CASS before you received the call?

EDIT: and roughly whene did u meet with your BI?

[psychoticnemo]

Not at all man. My pre-emp/quals/and BI are still "Pending" I suggest using the hotline. I will call today to see if it has checked off there. I also contacted MHC a lot! one thing I learned is that calling doesn't hurt and keep checking up on your file, it will pay off. Thanks again.

National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU)

Dumb question I'm sure, but.... NTEU?????

When hired, consider joining them, they do so much to protect us Employees.

[merlin436]

Hint: Your NTEU rep has a news bulletin for you.

The union says so???

Well then...that settles that. It must be true.

Back in 1993 the NTEU rep told me that 12D coverage was right around the corner and sure enough we got it...















...15 years later.


Expect your taser to roll out sometime around 2023.

Man did the old staff of Miami quit en masse or somthing? Seems like they're getting nine out of ten slots, heh. Guess that's what I get for picking a tiny backwater port like EWR.

Congrats Psycho, just remember everything you learned here, if mugged on the way to work taser the guy but only lie about it later if it wasn't a big deal. Our advice can't steer you wrong!

I'll send you money for the drink of your choice if your right.
