CBP officer and CBP technician are two different jobs. A technician is merely a secretary without a gun doing clerical duties only. An officer is a secretary with a gun who does clerical and other inspectional duties that are understood with the job such as searching, working the line, immigration, blah blah blah...

Originally posted by meandzen77 View PostI have enjoyed reading the forum for a few months and was hoping I could post a few questions regarding the CBP position and FLETC. I am a Feb. 07 tester who has completed every aspect of the hiring process successfully. The BI has been submitted to the adjudicator and I am just waiting for scheduling. My duty location is Arizona.
Congrats
I have read in a Feb. report by OPM that the average adjudication time for BI's with DHS is 59 days. Is this the average that the forum has noticed? My TS/SCI with the military was not adjudicated anywhere close to this time frame.
BI is a standard background, unlike the one they do for TS/SCI. 99% officers in CBP have critical sensitive clearance is which basically, unclassified without realease authority. FOUO/LES is the majority of the systems and documents you will read. Public can file a FOIA to get most stuff anyway.
What is the normal routine for the few weeks you are working at your station awaiting FLETC dates? (ie. Are you given your uniform? Are you working a regular day/2nd shift? Etc...)
Most ports are different, but they should be giving you basic knowledge and skills to not to look stupid in school. Some ports won't let you work the line until you been to school and some will. Scheduling is based on your port. Again each port is different.
What kind of P.T. gear are you issued at FLETC? Do they P.T. everyday and do trainees get time after class to P.T? PT is fairly easy. I know 300lbs guys who did it and 150lbs who cried threw it. It's actually pretty good if you are into it. We actually had a dep. US Marshal PT instructor and he was hardcore and killed most of us on the first week. But PT was not pass/fail (sort of) it might have changed since I went threw. Which was 12 years or so ago. (1985) Everything is provided for you period. PT I think was 3 days a week. again this could've changed.
How big are the classes and are there several classes training at once? How often are classes started? What time do classes start? (I prefer working out in the morning)
Usually there are 24 students per class. New classes starts depends on budget for the fiscal year. When I joined it was a big hiring party for customs and we had a new class every 2-4 weeks or so. Workout schedule is based soley on the cadre scheduling. Don't forget your are not the only agency there, and the GYM is big but still have to accomidate other agencies.
There are some questions to start off with as I am sure I will have many more in the future. Thanks to anybody who has some answers. Good luck to everyone.

Here's a question for those that have recently been contacted regarding a posting and academy training. Did they contact you via mail or phone? If you had more than one posting option, did they give you time to choose or did you have to decide immediately? Do they give you some say in when you can start at the academy? I have a few commitments in the next few months and starting immediately may be a bit difficult. Any other info is certainly welcome. thx
