Are TO's going out right now? I havnt seen one single post with a recent TO? Anyone?

Still waiting - february test taker here.

currently @ FLETC...there is now WIFI in all the dorms!

That's the good news! bad news is 9 CBP classes have been canceled for the year and supposedly a hiring freeze til next year.

At FLETC as well, I heard 7 classes, then again my source was some guy in line at the student center so who knows.

Just keep in mind that "next year" is Fed speak for October, not January. Not that that is much comfort, but still.

For anyone coming down this summer, get in shape now. I'm a life long runner and even jogging in this heat is beyond brutal. They won't run you as a class when it's blazing hot outside. But if you come down completely out of shape you're going to need to do some serious running after hours.

So unless you like running at 10 PM, get in shape NOW.

im at Fletc right now in my dorm. There is indeed wifi in most of the dorms now. Only thing is you need to pay for it rates are starting from 5 bucks a day up to 40 a month for highspeed.

And as far as PT. Weve only ran outside once for PT class. Everyday has been blackflagged. But dont think you get away not running. They bring you into the gym room and make run laps and do alot of running indoors. But hey it beats the weather outside.

40 bucks a month? Wow they must figure that most of you guys aren't spending too much there because that is price gouging.

Its not Fletc thats charging. Its an outside vendor.

Here;s a follow-up to my BI drama...
I spoke to my adjudicator on Tues. morning and told her all about the 212(a)9(b) INS law deal.She sounded suprised! Then she asked me to fax it to her so that she can show her supervisor (he put the big DENIED stamp on my file).So I asked for a day off work so that I could do just that.The day after I faxed it (friday) I called again and she said she wanted a couple more of my wife's docs to present it to her boss.She'll be getting that on Tuesday. She sounded pretty optimistic about the whole deal. Wish me luck and thanks ALOT for helping me out !!!!! I owe you guys a beer.

Anytime, good luck and keep me posted... I would be surprised if they didn't overturn their initial decision considering the law is quite clear (at least from where I see it).

Food

What's the food like at FLETC? Decent? Horrid? Are the dorms furnished or do we have to bring our own stuff? ie: sheets, towels, etc.

40 dollar is not too bad. If you purchase ATT's wireless plan... is like 50 dollar or so.... so is not bad.. also.. u know gov stuff.. they need to have "clearence" etc.. so extra $ over there to charge us.

But is much better to have that then dial up or looking at the iphone all day long lol

Call the port and ask to speak to a supervisor.

My guess... 0800-1600 or 0900-1700.

The dorms are furnished and sheets/towels are provided. The food is really not that bad. It does get old after being here for a while.
