As long as the doctor has cleared you, you should be fine. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks. I appreciate the help.

Hey guys, so I have been doing some "research" and it seems that the firearms qualification is one of the hardest part at FLETC.

Not really. Just listen to the intructors and relax. Besides that, they have made the course much easier than it used to be recently.

where did you get that info and where can i find out more about it?

After reading a lot of this forum and the other one, I've noticed that in most BI's which require a NOPA, the applicant is waiting up to year to be issued one. Two of my former co-workers at TSA waited 12 months & 16 months from the BI interview and received theirs at the same time. Its unreal how one ridculously minor issue that would take a mere paragraph or a faxing of a single document could push back an entire investigation to up to year or more.

Its amazing. Almost as amazing as last night's episode of LOST.

Man, if i new the answer i'd give it to you. But, i have not gotten one so dont want to give you the wrong info. Unless you actually get one, dont stress on it. If come to find out, the mail man dropped it between the seats, CBP will see that you never signed for it and you'll get a fair shake.

I just got a call from the college I graduated from, they were dialing for dollars. Their ****ing number came up as "unknown" just like the hiring center. I damn near ripped the poor girls head off.

Six working days of employment left then this job goes bye bye. Been in TSU since August for Newark, christ I hope they call in the next week. Not exactly and easy time to find a temp job.

So about this pistol CBP uses. I've got a decent amount of experience with firearms. Not a sniper by any means but I'm not a horrible shot. I keep hearing about the weird action on the CBP pistol, is it THAT different? There are gun shops that let you try out any model for a fee, is it worth finding a CBP style P2000 just to run some rounds through? Or is it being blown up to more of an issue than it really is?

I fail to see how a modified trigger pull could really screw people up THAT much.

No its just a longer trigger pull. You'll be used to it in no time.
