CBP officer

I received my provisional clearance form but I've been thinking would it be crazy to just wait unti my background is fully completed. Just to be on safe side? Give me more time to save and get stronger for academy.

Has anyone heard of someone waiting ? What was the outcome ?

I just received one and I already signed and emailed it back. It says in the form that if you choose not to enter in duty in a provisional clear status, it will not negatively affect you, but your enter on duty date may be delayed.

It's not odd for people to wait for a full clearance...especially for those people with complex histories or potential issues in their past.

Does anyone know if the PFT2 date is close to the EOD date ? Or is it scheduled much earlier ?

[milperil]

Today, I tested myself.
I ran 1.5 miles in 12 minutes 40 seconds.
That's way better than my last time.
I think I'm too ready for this fitness test whenever it comes lol..... I'm feeling good and excited. I hope everyone keeps training too

Milperil. You deferred an offer before right? I remember you being on here before I started academy.

Pft2 is no more than 30 days prior to EOD.

You can deffer an offer ? So just skip the upcoming academy and wait for the next available...whenever that could be ?

No I didn't. My background was still being stuck until now lol. I thought I was gonna be there too but not yet. How's the academy so far? I hope you're doing great in there.

There are typically multiple classes each fiscal year. Most months have several scheduled. Sometimes, there are several scheduled on a weekly basis.

I haven't see anything from FY16 yet, but FY15 has many classes scheduled right up until the last week of September.

Are most Local Departments accepting FLETC CBPO training for lateral still? Just curious thanks.

So far so good can't complain. I'm giving it 110 percent for sure. Good luck to you clearing soon and getting started.

Hello everyone,

Was wondering if the CBPO position has a height/weight proportion requirement. Any tattoo policy in place too?
