VBT and CASS

Anyone got their VBT results yet and has anyone's CASS been stopped updating lately?

I took the VBT exactly 1 week ago today. I received a letter dated 1 day after I took the VBT requesting some medical information & got a call today to schedule my drug test. I am anticipating that I passed the VBT since they are proceeding, that's my take on that. If you have had similar contact then I would lean towards anticipating a passing grade as well..

Here are some of the questions I currently have about FLETC:

1. I'm debating whether or not to take my car, my biggest concern with this is the flooding that I've read about at the Taj....what are the chances that flooding occurs between Dec and April? Don't worry about flooding, they have a plan in place for that.

2. I have Sprint as a cell provider, how is Sprint service at Glynco (i.e. will my cell be on roam while I'm there?)? Sprint can be sketchy, but so can everyone else, at least at the taj. It's not uncommon to see 10 or 15 people wondering around the parking lot at 10pm talking on the phone

3. When the Minneapolis Hiring center contacted me to offer the position, the lady I spoke with said that my background was complete. I've read on here that some people are still "pulled out" of class to clear up issues with their background which isn't complete. So how do you know if your background is in fact COMPLETE once you're at FLETC? As soon as you start your TECS class (you'll figure out what I'm talking about) and if your teacher is cool, he/she can look up in the computer if your BI is done. If not you'll find out graduation day when they take back your credentials. But it's not as common as some people say.

4. According to recent posts it seems that everyone is getting a roommate...is this truly the case, or are some students still rooming alone? It's a roll of the dice. Not all CBP have roommates and from what I hear CBP is throwing a fit over our peeps doubling up because CBP pays for single rooms.

5. What banks are in the immediate area (I bank with Bank of America)? BOA has a branch right down the road by Wally World

6. Can you access personal email and bank accounts online in the computer labs? Or, is doing so only permitted on personal laptops? You can do all your personal buisness on the g computers as long as it doesn't involve porn or overthrowing the government that pays you.

7. Once I'm done at FLETC and return to my port after April 14th, how soon after will I most likely be able to put in overtime? It all depends. If your at a land border then you may be hitting the OT right away. If your in an airport you'll probably have to do some OJT prior to being cleared for OT.

Any help and input would be greatly appreciated, I posted questions that I was unable to find definite answers for utilizing the SEARCH function.

Thanks.

The phone CASS says my VBT is complete but nothing on the website.

As nice as i know it is to see it in black and white, i would rather the phone be updated because its the more updated and accurate of the two.

Well thats the easy part (not to mention its nice to be done with it), the hard part is going on vacation in securityispendingville, D.C.
