what? I just saw CBPO K9 wearing suspenders this morning at my VBT. Are you sure?

What kind of service weapon did he have?

He might have gotten a medical letter stating he can wear them or his port might not enforce the policy.

But there was a policy memo less then 6 months ago that said no to suspenders.

I agree it is not a good policy but it is the policy.

I feel the same way. My score isn't as high but, VT was also listed as "Critical Needs," I thought I would have received a T.O. by now. It's discouraging when you see guys that tested after you with lower scores speeding through the process.

-Done venting now...

Well you can only look at your application uniquely. Not everyone and every port is the same. When i first applied i tested in May'06 and didnt get a t.o. till Christmas eve of '06. That was with a score of 90. Same score used for the application in July of '08 and had a t.o. by the first week of august. It may seem like youre falling behind but its only been 2 months. Maybe VT is stockpiling apps and then will send out a bunch of t.o.'s all at once. No one can predict the way the process will go.

I agree. Dogs in suspenders is never a good policy. What kind of message does that send to the public?

Alright alright, all is fair, I may have botched that.

BI is going very well so far... in the sense that she is being very thorough. Good luck to the rest of you all!

How accurate is the study guide compared to the actual test? I just applied and will take the exam in December.

Bi

Do any of you guys have relatives in another country? That seems to be my only problem in my BI. This is starting to worry me, but man I can't help it if I have some relatives oversea. I don't have any contacts with them except when I went on vacations there. Is anyone else having problem like this with their BI?

Mine says completed too but I just had my personal interview with the investigator today and he is still going around interviewing my references.

I feel you on that one man, I have a brother who lives in Italy with his Family. My BI just called me and we meet next week. They already pointed out to bring info on them with me for documentation. Got me on my toes already...Hahaa

Oh man prepare to have information about his job and address and phone number and then they will probably ask you how often do you have contact with him and if you have any other relatives there.
