i was wondering if any of you have applyed for the southwest region? and if so how long have you been waiting or have waited?

[Bizzy930]

so my cass updated today, this is what I seen
4/22/2009 You have tentatively met the pre-employment requirements and your file is being reviewed. Once a final determination is made that all requirements have been met, you will be notified of the next steps.

ok so from what I read TSU should be next correct?

Quite possible if everything goes in your favor. Looks like you still need VBT? Goodluck.

You are correct. Once CASS says you have been reffered to schedule EOD, you are in TSU. Congrats!

Looks like things have finally calmed down here.

My day is easy !

And to think tommorrow morning you will wake up, strap on that duty belt, and go back to that crappy job you HATE soo much. Then you will hop back on this thread and humor us on how awful your day was. Us young bucks are dying to hear it....

The problem the job is more suited for people like you. You can type and that is about it . And I do not work at an airport. And I work at one of the ten largest Ports in America.

Quit showing your ignorance

GED? Not me bud, I have a degree.

"And one day a native born Mexican American will take his job. LOL. Your right "

That was pretty racist.

You're mad cuz you choose to work at a slow port where you can use your stamp all day? Thats weird. Like I said at the end of the day youll be taking it up the you know what and getting paid to take it with out the KY. So why are you stil a bitter legazy lazy officer? Seriously tell us all so we can stop this guessing game? Or did you miss your period and want to vent on O.com?

No we arent micromanaged like you at the airport. HA! We actually cn hook people pat down full or immediate with out asking someone for permission.

And tell me how my remark was racist ? If you hope to pass the Agent exam your really need to turn it up a notch. Your at a Southern Border Area populated [ am I using words hard for you to comprehend ] by a large hispanic population. Many first generation. Judging from the recruitment of CBP that is who will replace you .

[Hunt the Jackel]

Interesting ! So your in violation of Personal Search Policy

You really are showing how dumb you are !

Wow, the tone of this thread has certainly changed.

Looks like things have finally calmed down here. Wow, the last three pages were so funny I will have to read them again before bed for laughs.

I think you spoke too soon.....

I can only type and thats about it? No sir, looking back at the last three pages, that honor definitely goes to you!

If you're an applicant or a new hire I'd be very careful as to what I took to heart from all of this. There's a lot of flying fast and loose with the facts here and much of what's said that has truth to it is bent so much as to be useless.

[merlin436]

I'm not sure what digging up 3-4 year old posts "proves", other than maybe things were less than optimal back then. If that's the argument, then I agree. Things were far worse 3 years back then they are today. Back then...no 12D/6C, less chance to relocate/transfer, fewer TDY's, no SRT, different firearms policy, different pursuit policy, no tasers, intermediate force policy was much less defined, etc. Since then, things have improved overall. There's still a lot of room left to get better, but CBP has been moving slowly in more or less the right direction.

10 largest ports in America...what would that be? Sounds like Pembina cargo to me.

[tippmann87]

If you are working at an airport and a passenger assaults you for whatever reason, do you have the authority to arrest the passenger for something like assault on a federal officer? Or can you only detain the person until the local PD comes to charge them?

WooooHooooo...... I got "THE CALL"

Congrats FreeAgent on the call! I am also an SFO/OAK applicant waiting on the call. Been in TSU since 03/26. Saw you waited 61 days. I really hope to get a call within the next month or two!
