Southeast would be great!

Yea northeast would be great too. I remember seeing openings a year ago for the northeast.

Yeah, are you in the process already?

No I want to apply but do not want to move to the border.

[Mr._A.]

I take it you're on the east coast....aside from the announcement that's open now, this may help down the road:

Thanks yea I know about that but it does not say what areas they are going to hire in. I just want to know the chances of getting a busy airport.

[Mr._A.]

No problem. Yeah that would be nice to know ahead of time but I'm sure they hold off on that info for a reason.

[service4others]

I would apply to the border ports but word on the street is transfer is nonexistint right now.

[Mr._A.]

Is that strictly regarding border ports?

Question for anyone who may know the answer. Does anyone know when you leave the pre-academy that they fly you straight to fletc or do you have a chance to go home first to pick up some stuff and your vehicle?

[Mr._A.]

Also do they pay for your travel to and from pre-academy/academy?

Did my pft 1 today for US Customs I was worried but completed 13 pushups,20 sit ups,12 side steps ,and lift and lower test in 32 seconds. I think I passed part one as for the step test I didn't ask if I passed I just know I completed the whole 5 min and on the score sheet the administrator made a √ where it asked if the five minutes were completed. What are y'all's take on how I did? Hoping for the best!

Depends what port and when your Academy starts. If it starts Monday you have entire weekend but it's not uncommon for it be middle of week and you get one day to travel so pack before. They pay for travel for one day. Flight is paid for, if you drive you get the price of a flight.
