CBP officer

[cbp1811]

If there is no listing that means your score hasn't been uploading

My scores never showed up on Application Manager. Nothing ever showed up on there. Only on CASS

GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!

As of March 26th, Enhanced Retirement for CBP Officers is final as signed by Bush. No bulll****, no vetoing, no more CBP does not deserve 6C. Retirement packets will be sent out to each and all of us starting next month. Wanted to attach the email, but too big for an attachment.

Does this also mean they will be getting a GL pay grade instead of the GS? This is great news btw!

Current information posted on the agency website (internal) says nothing about the GL pay grade. In fact, it says nothing with your base pay, premium pay, or overtime will change, only the retirement package. This is being sold as "Enhanced Retirement" "Similar to the retirement package of other law enforcement officers." etc. etc... I you are over 37 you must EOD prior to July6, 2008 or you are out of the running.

The way understand it, you only need a TO bfore July, if your over 37 years old.

You need to be 'onboard' by 7/5 - which means have an Enter-on-Duty date of 7/5 or prior to beat the age 37 cutoff. Keep in mind your FLETC date may be after that, as they usually bring people on 30 days prior to going to Glynco (although that's been less lately).

This means that you will be able to retire after 20 years like any other firearm carying, law enforcing, uniform(or not) wearing person. It's a good start... it took the Congress 40 years to give it to us. It only can get better from here on.

Got my Enhanced Retirement Package 5 minutes ago and NO, we stay at GS.

First paragraph reads:

"As a result of Public law 110-161, Section 535 of Division E, enhanced retirement coverage, similar to that of other Federal Law Enforcement officers, is being made available to you effective July 6, 2008"

Third paragraph describes:

"... It also does not affect your overtime pay or premium pay."

well, Gonzo... there are some great postings about CBPO vs BPA. Describes money, describes the job differences. Depends on what you want to be when you grow up... If I was you and I had a 14 as a father, would not think twice about getting into ICE 1811.

Do you want to brake down doors, investigate, steak-outs, wear civilian clothing ???=ICE SA

Do you want to protect the border 24/7, rain or shine, hot or cold, greenish uniform ???=BPA

It's hard to give you advice if your main interes is MONEY. I don't know what kind of lifestyle are you accustomed to. CBPOs can make $80k after a few years but same with Border Patrol Agents and Special Agents...

[matyoka]

Every job application takes long time no matter what you decide. Be ready to wait at least 12 months for any of the jobs listed in your post. Unless you have an offer allready... If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

[matyoka]

Well congrats and seems that you have some good opportunities knocking on your door.
