CBP officer

[ZODIAC76]

Seriously, you shouldn't have to train any harder for the new standards than the old ones. If you do, then you've been woefully under-training all along.

Either standards are minimums, and rather poor ones at that. If you come in doing no better than either minimum standard, you'll probably injure yourself and/or flunk out of the academy. Get yourself into decent shape and you'll be far above either standard.

You're right! I haven't been giving it my full attention like I should be. Now that I'm off for the summer, I can REALLY focus on it. That's all. Must stay focused!! ALWAYS look eye!!! HAI!

Well I finally got my results back for the CBP officer test I took on May 6th. I got a 93!!! Any one have ne idea how long before I hear back from them, my geo location is Illinois?

Another fitness program, this one for NNSA agents. Get to the point where you can knock-out this program with a fair amount of ease and the fitness portion of FLETC shouldn't be all that difficult for you.

Just the facts. Until I hear otherwise, I remain in TSU.

I took the test on 5/2/09 and received a 90. My preference is Buffalo. I would guess that they will send out TO's for us sometime this summer. Hopefully July!

You guys took your test the week before me, and are just getting your results. I took my test 5/11/09, hopefully I'll see mine in the next week or so.

Just checked application manager and got the NOR (1130am)

Im waiting for my BI to clear. Hopefully next month. How many people do you think there are in TSU for SFO/OAK? Thats the port I applied for.

Day 69 for me in TSU for SF/OAK.
The last person hired for SF/OAK had a TSU date of late February, since then, no new hires. I know a few people with March TSU dates for SF/OAK, and some with April and May. There are a lot of us waiting for SF/OAK. There were hiring around 5 people a week up until January, then it stopped.

In TSU for San Fran/Oakland for 32 days...

How many people on this forum is in TSU for the port?

SF/OAK
69 days in TSU for me. I know we have a few with 90 days or more.
Hiring for SF/OAK has stopped for now. Last hire had a TSU date of late February. (according to the lady at TSU)

Just got my NOR - scored an 87

GEO - Philadelphia

Is an 87 TO worthy

I applied for both G/S 5 and G/S 7

[anthony30]

to be honest it all depends on your geo and how many people have in for that same geo with higher scores. it may take a bit longer but im sure it will be a good acceptable score. im in tsu for buffalo since 5-7-09 (34 days)with a 78 score.(not my best test taken but it was accepted) Buffalo also has lot of openings every year which helped me out lots i assume.. good luck and let the fun begin for you...

Hey,

Does anyone know if the San Diego area is on a freeze of hiring more people?

Any insight would be great

Actually, I just received a call from TSU today...so random...and the guy just called to update me on the status of my file. He said that at this time, there aren't any vacancies in SD but he'll call me when they get word of any. Hope this helps!

Anyone have recommendations on which Geo Pref I should change to? I'm tired of waiting for Seattle.

SD - What was your reason to request to be deferred? Just curious. How accommodating were they?

I requested to be deferred because I was in the middle of a semester (school) and it was too late to withdraw from my classes. They were actually quite accomodating, all that they requested was a copy of my schedule. However, he did mention that they can't guarantee me a spot at the POE of my choice (Otay Mesa) when I'm ready to accept...and sure enough now there aren't any vacancies period, at any of the POEs nearby!
