CBP officer

For those that were wondering about buying a bike when down at Base, my advice is don't bother. It is just another thing to worry about. And then you have to worry about someone borrowing it or using it on the weekends. Yes, it does happen. My advice, wake up early and catch the bus from one location to another. Or, catch a ride with one of your friends on the weekend who has a car on base.

Remember, stay safe and stick together!

I finally contacted my Adjudicator at IA. Thanks for the help if you really helped. She sound like a great person. I guess they dont work on fridays. I guess the biggest thing I learned is that my file has been with her for a month and half and she told me that she hasn't even looked at it. Now she said she will review it and get back to me this week. I hope she calls me this week to tell me some good news. My best to all you.....

For everyone with the WA - All other areas, this is how it will go for you.

You will more than likely be assigned to the Port of Seattle and do your Pre-Academy time at the training branch in Tukwila, after that everyone starts at Seatac then is farmed out to the other areas as needed.

So plan on airport duty.

good info and it would make sense too. when i took my vbt at tukwilla dhs there was a fresh out of fletc guy, so i hope it goes along those lines.

thanks for the info!

Glad to hear that. When I called IA and spoke to my adjudicator for the first time on 3/11, she told me that she was about to start the write up within the next day or so and would give me a courtesy call the following week. That wasn't a coincidence, as my file was probably sitting on her desk for literally 4 months (My file was submitted to IA for review on 10/10/08). Its been 7 business days, and I haven't received any word yet... so I emailed her and thanked her for being helpful on the phone and asked if she had an update for me.

Just a thought to everyone in the same situation.... As long as you are polite, I strongly recommend calling/emailing within reason to keep up on your case. Nobody is going to help you more than you.

just wondering JD, i was able to get my adjudicator's phone number and email because he called me about my BI, how did you get your adjudicator's information?

Well I have only been in TSU since March 18th. I took the test back in Nov. '07 so its been quite a wait. I know not as long as some people but still pretty long I think. I do not have the class number yet, I will know all that tomorrow with the paperwork. All she told me was I start April 13th and report to FLETC on May 20th.

* oh yeah and Barnaj I got the call at 10am Central Time*
