Hey guys this is a question for those who eod recently and are out on admin what does that mean because I eod in a little less than 2 weeks I did receive a email that I do not have to report but I will still be getting paid I am employed currently and working from home am I able to keep my current job until it’s time to report? Thanks any information is appreciated

[Greyhound8]

If you're a federal employee you are not allowed to work 2 federal jobs. I worked for TSA previously and I had to do my exit interview last week before entering with CBP. Again that my understating between TSA and CBP.

[Cxp1137]

Okay I see , but my current job isn’t federal I’m just wondering if this is allowed before I resign from my job

[fort1978]

Cxp1137 i was in the same boat as you and when i was sworn in i asked my POC and unfortunately you cannot keep both its against policy. I was told you technically are on working hours from 8am-4pm. You can work but it has to be after 4pm and it has to be approved by higher ups.

[Cxp1137]

fort1978 thanks so much for the info

[Greyhound8]

fonzi7979 Thank you, It's a long process but it's all worth it at the end.

[fonzi7979]

Your welcome. You can say that again I hope to be scheduled after this pandemic is under control. Everyone is trying to make sense of this long process after completing your SI the wait for the polygraph exam can be a long time. Thanks for the good words.

[corsair]

Anyone have a polygraph recently? I've seen people have had them canceled.

[RB7744]

Still waiting. If you get sched pls dm me, I’ll do the same. Still seeking EWR

[fonzi7979]

corsair I’m still waiting to be scheduled and it has been put on hold since Covid19 virus.

[Greyhound8]

Cxp1137 If not federal then I believe you are able to keep both. Just keep in mind once you EOD and put on Leave you can be called back to port at anytime.

[Cxp1137]

Okay thanks

[Nousername1]

Cxp1137 I want to share the following info I received: You must resign or terminate prior employment. Pre-approval is required to engage in “outside employment”.

[GilE1788]

Hey all,

Applied in Feb 2020, am in CBP 20-5, and I was supposed to have my SI in 2 days on the 4/16 but unfortunately it got canceled due to COVID-19 and now it is pending, so my guess it is going to be a long road for everybody here since everything is on hold and postponed. I believe most of you guys are also receiving cancellation emails too?
Standing at 25% in CASS so far done with EQIP, Fitness Exam, Medical Exam is still under review. Best of luck to all !!

[VeeDubs86]

I was able to see an audiologist yesterday just before my medical review deadline. The signal noise ratio test they have you do is crazy. They pump in static at 45 decibels and have a voice at 50 decibels and you have to identify the word they say. Its like working in a newspaper printing operation and trying to hear someone at conversation level volume over the loud machines. I have minor high frequency hearing loss but without the noise I could recognize words 100% of the time. With the noise, I could hear 32%. When the word was bumped up to 55 decibels I heard 72%. I'm worried I'm going to get a NOPA over this. I'm a current LEO in New York and passed two hearing tests for different jobs and was never placed on review before. It was rationalized by the Audiologist that years of shooting firearms may have caused the high frequency hearing loss, so I'd recommend ear plugs in addition to ear muffs to anyone who shoots. I've only used muffs my entire life, but I'm going to double it up from now on.

18-3 here. Still in it

[CBPO-DFW]

We are on the same boat as far as the time go. My BI got clear last week and waiting on my drug test... ya think I may get the call within a month or two? Also, shall I do my physical again? Because it’s over a year & half?

[Ak47operator]

I’m also 18-3. Just got BI cleared and waiting on Drug test call.

[MissAmitious]

CBPO-DFW you be getting your call any day now. I don't see you having to take the physical again. I know there was good info a few pages down regarding the particulars though. If I remember correctly you only have to worry about retaking it of you reapply under another announcement after so much time has passed. Best of luck man!!
