So it might be more than possible.
Ever think about A-Bay? It's got to be a bit closer than Buffalo.

As I see it, there's little an applicant can do to prepare for FLETC...outside of getting into shape. The better shape you're in, the easier the physical part of the program is going to be. The guy going in who can do 12 chin-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 push-ups is going to coast through the program, the guy coming in who's doing 2 chin-ups, 20 push-ups and 20 sit-ups is going to struggle pretty much the whole time.
Why make it a struggle if you don't need to? A few months of pre-FLETC workouts can make all the difference between being slightly uncomfortable during the academy and finishing up in serious pain, between graduating in the top 15% of the class or heading back to your port injured and/or possibly being out of a job. Why risk it?

What exactly does qualifications mean as far as what they need to check? I though it was just verifying my university...
Also, and perhaps more importantly, TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ALREADY AT FLETC OR HAVE FINISHED AND ARE WORKING FOR CBP:
From the time you were cleared for everything on CASS, how long did it take you to get an official offer and starting date?
Thanks.

For the intelectually challenged: If the government screws the people enough, it is the right and responsibility of the people to revolt and form a new government.

As to being referred to TSU and getting the call depends on your POE (Geo Pref) if it's a POE in need of lots of people your wait in next to none, on the other hand you might stuck in TSU for months on end waiting for a slot to open.Last edited by yoda; 01-21-2009, 04:03 PM.CBPO
