I thought exactly the same. If there were going to be a shutdown the media would've been all hype about it, and for now, I haven't heard major setbacks on that.

I know man, this process has been so long and tedious, I took the polygraph 3 times!! That is all I have to say. LOL

3 TIMES!!!!! WHY???? did you ask why?

[Ma23]

I'm 13-1 got NE by mistake,!deferred and reapplied to Newark on 15-2 and have been referred to the SU since 07/30. Fiscal year starts Oct.1 and it seems like there is not going to be a shutdown

Stay in shape!!

ugh! i fell off on my running, I do it in 13 minutes... have to get back on my push ups!! any advise for a girl?

[Ma23]

I reapplied last week to the latest announcement. So I was told I can go to the academy with Boston and come out going to JFK. I have no idea what this does to my timeline. I applied to the NE by accident as well.

hey VICTORIOUS, you've moved quickly, did you take the drug test in your home down

I am terrible at push-ups. I literally took a four inch block to work and every few hours would bang them out. (Female also) I would do regular than get tired and switch to girl push-ups. I would say it's my biggest weakness.

You're better than me :-( just the word push up gets me tired.

I tried calling MHC last week and have called previously. All responses I have received have been "I don't know" and that she only calls you when you are chosen. She told me a specialist can see the wait lists but she thought it would be a hard process to get the list pulled, the specialist might not do it, the specialist wasn't there, and she didn't know when the specialist would be there. I think it was mostly, "stop bugging me, I'll call you when your port has an open funded position." Couldn't even get an answer as to if she thought hiring would increase with the fiscal year. I think port officials would have better ideas than MHC. I almost was going to call the Dulles port, but they have no reason to give me information-I could be a nobody.

I think I am going to take the risk and call my port (Baltimore), to see if I can get anything from them. MHC is not helpful at all.

It is just part of the process. Some applicants just take it once and pass. Some are called 2-3 times until you get poly-cleared. I really don't know why.

Congratulations to everyone who were referred to the scheduling unit.

Sprinting is pretty weak for me. It's so bad that one time my ten year old beat me by two seconds. I never told him that. He would have rubbed that ish in my face foreverrrrrrrr.

Just called Baltimore Port. Maybe I spoke to the wrong person (I asked to talk with the person in charge of recruiting). I asked her if she knows anything about the new Fiscal Year bringing more CBPOs applicants on board, and she told me that I should contact MHC because they are the one who deals with that. Only a limited amount of people has access to that kind of information in a Port (hiring projections). That would be the Port Director, and his/her immediate subordinate. Of course, I am not allowed to speak with the Port Director nor that Chain of Command.

Back to square one.

Im 15-1 applicant with my case at the security office. I select Nogales! But last week I reapplied at 16-1 to select Miami I dont know if this was a good decision... Someone knows if the salary is different given the difference in cost of live. Im confused right know... 😕

[PHSeaBee]

go to the OPM website and look up pay charts and locality pay....
I think it's 4% more?~ $190.00 a month more in Miami
BUT
21% more in San Fran!! for what that's worth.... $606 more here!!

Two times here, hahaha. Talking about nerves being wrecked, haha. Yea, my fed buddies haven't mentioned anything at all and the media is quiet. Hopefully thats good news and reinsurance for us all.

Yea, they've been super tight lipped every time I call. I call and say I want to check on my application status (although I know my status (SU)), but really, I just call to make sure they know Im still alive, haha.
