CBP officer

[CBPhOpeful]

I'm curious to hear an everyday routine at an airport. Any takers????

Here is the exact wording of PL 110-161 sec 535: "(2) IMMEDIATE RETIREMENT.—Paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 8412(d) of title 5, United States Code, are amended by striking ‘‘or nuclear materials courier,’’ and inserting ‘‘nuclear materials courier, or customs and border protection officer,’’.

Here's the link: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-...764enr.txt.pdf

To save you time it the changes to our retirement system start on page 232. The portion I quoted is on page 233.

+1 do you rotate from spot to spot?

FreeAgent-It's weird that an agency will start you out in the middle of a pay period. Usually when you come on board your EOD is the Sunday date of a beginning pay period. I have a buddy that I work with that just got the call to report to Norfolk on the 10th.

Lumberjack, So does that mean my pay will be off, compared to other officers? How long you been with CBP?

[rl10851]

how long am i gonna wait before i know

So it's been 8 months since I met with my B.I. and not even a wiff of any news...There have been about 10 people from my job that applied before and after me that have been sent to Georgia (we all work for TSA at SFO). I have email and called Minn. and I get the same BS answer..."your b.I. is still pending...so hurry up and wait..." my question is how to I directly get in contact with the adjudicator/security office...I've heard stories of people talking to them directly or at least someone with more of a clue to what's happening...any help here would be infinitely appreciated...

[Lumberjack]

FreeAgent-I am not with CBP however federal agencies follow the same pay period schedule set by OPM in cooperation with the National Finance Center (NFC) which handles sending your money to your bank. Like right now we are in the last week of this pay period which ends this Saturday. According to your start date it sounds like you fall in the middle of a pay period which starts on May 10th. Maybe a CBP employee on here can either agree or disagree with me on this.

RL10851, check your PM.

I'm going to preface this by saying every port is different so I'm not going to speak for the rest of the country. At my port, yes, you do rotate. A lot of your time will be spent on primary rotating between processing vistors and USC's. Every once and a while at the supervisors whim, you will rotate to baggage and work that for a day. You can work passenger secondary (actually building cases) on a rotational basis but you have to be trained first.

Working the airport can be fun, draining, stressful, interesting, boring, frustrating and entertaining. Your experience may vary.

is the cass phone line not working for anyone else? ive been waiting for my drug screening to clear so ive been calling everyday and today cass tells me that my information does not match their records. so i checked cass online and my login info works and my drug test has also cleared. i thought that was weird since i was under the impression that cass updates faster on the phone. anyone else?

I just tried the job telephone hotline and it worked fine for me.

that is probably happening because u might be pressing # after your entries don't press # just say yes or no.

They were sent to the academy already? I think there is a background department there at MHC did they transfer you there? seems like a lot of the hiring has been on a hault!

[JRizEJ6]

I just tried the job telephone hotline and it worked fine for me.

just got off the phone with MHC and they informed me that i have been dropped from the hiring process due to security. they said they sent a letter out to me on the 21st so i guess ill have to wait for that. i guess they found something in my background that they didnt like. which is strange because my background clean except for a few traffic tickets. has anyone ever been in this position? hopefully they give me some sort of option to respond and sort this out but when i spoke with MHC they said i have been dropped. ive received two NOPAs before and never have i been just straight dropped. i guess we'll have to see whats in that letter

[ZODIAC76]

I want my medical to clear already!! They sent me a letter wanting more information and wanted me to see a speacialist. I did and sent it back a month ago. I've e-mailed them to ask about it and this is the reaponse I got.

So sorry to hear that, well at least it happened now than you going to the academy and them pulling you out of class and this permantely on your sf51 the NPOA's you received were they for this position? if it was for cbp then you didn't have a clean record, and did you respond to the NOPA? if you received any NOPA's it should state what they found, and then it's your responsibility to either defend yourself with a rebuttal but you have to get in contact with you ex employer to find out what was in your personal records, or it might be one of your old neighbors said something bad about you or one of your refrences said something.
