Thank you! Yea that's what I've noticed with this process...sometimes it lags, other times they surprise you with a phone call saying "hey! Im in town for your background."
Just trying to gauge and see how it's moving currently from this point with others.

Originally posted by Albert Wesker View PostThe way that they used to do hiring for the CBPO position allowed an applicant to select only the specific ports where they would be willing to work. So let's say that an applicant chose a tiny/slow port in the middle of the country, like Omaha, Nebraska. Well it would take literally years for a position to open up at that port, but the applicant would get to go exactly where they wanted.
I had a lengthy LE career already. A CBP position provided me much better opportunities for my future.The most important thing which aided in patience was the fact I wanted the job (obviously!), but I didn't need it. I think that's something important for everyone to keep in mind with their applications. This isn't McDonalds in which you'll be hired in a day.

I thought it went extremely well, Markham Park, FL 7am, about 25 applicants and 3 instructors long breaks in between each execise because they were all individually done except the 1.5 mile run. Everyone passed except one guy, he just could not do the situps, i felt really sad for him.

Just passed my pft2! Finally done with the process!
We had 7 applicants total and everybody passed. Perfect weather conditions, long breaks between exercises, and 4 nice officers. I admittedly was extremely nervous the night before and couldn't sleep. I had probably about 1 hour of sleep total and was running on adrenaline. Luckily the requirements to pass this test aren't that high, and as others have said, if you consistently train for more than the minimum you'll be fine. Good luck to those still in the process, and I'll be seeing some of you at FLETC!Geo: West Coast

Congrats to everyone that passed the pft2!!! Probably is the greatest feeling in the world! Do they check your blood pressure before starting the pft2??
I also just checked my credit report, and it appears they finally pulled it today! Small step but I'm excited about it! Hopefully poly soon!Geo- Florida
