I have a quick question about the tattoo/piercing policy of the border patrol. I know my tattoos will be fine as there are only two and easily covered, however I also have both ears pierced.
I had them both gauged to a 0 gauge hole, but have since let them heal down upon registering for my BPA entry exam, which by the way I scored a 98 on, my question is though will they allow gauged ears at all? I imagine while on the job and in training ear rings will not be allowed, but with a 0 gauge the hole is still slightly noticeable, nothing crazy but noticeable.
Thanks in advance for any information you guys can offer, while I would like to go back to the larger diameter earrings I will not do so if it will cause conflict in a life changing career.

I wouldn't do it. Get rid of the gauges. I had zeros for a while and when I started applying to PD's and now BP I just took them out. I think tattoos are more accepted, but earrings no way. I still have holes but you cant see through them anymore.5 weeks in TSU.

Thanks mario, that was what I expected. I now they have new silicone flesh colored plugs that make it difficult to tell, but at the same time its just not worth the hassle and or risk just to keep the ears gauged. Maybe after (assuming all goes well) I get in and get stationed I'll ask about it if I still feel the desire to wear them anymore.

If you want the job, give them up and hope the hell nobody notices the holes in your head. You will be treated like a leper. If you want the job, its grown up time.Corrections: "We face what society fears."

On the piercings: while in the Navy we had a guy with his nips pierced and thought it was funny to run around the base shirtless with his jewelry in. That is until someone tethered a brick & 10' of 550 cord to his jewelry and told him to throw it VERY hard the first time...trainee

I have an issue and was wondering if I could get a serious professional answer to this...
As I was doing the e-quip forms I guess I could say I f***ed up on 4 questions. As my BI interviewed me he noticed I answered 4 different answers to him then my e-quip form. It wasn't anything major, I don't think so and my BI as well stated that he's sure that I wasn't trying to lie I just messed up and shouldn't worry about it. He just wanted my 4 reasons to why I gave two different answers. He would note it down and make sure to forward it to D.C. Here's the list of questions I messed up on. If I could please get peoples opinions on how D.C. will handle this or if I should worry about it, it would be appreciated.
1) I put in my equip I haven't used any drugs in the past 7 years. I told my BI I have. Reason- Because I miscalculated the years
2) I put in my equip I worked in a job for only 2 months. Told BI 6 months. Reason- I was thinking the beginning date of my third job (I know dumb)
3)I put in my e-quip my sister is a u.s. citizen. Told BI she's only a resident. Reason- She got married to a U.S. citizen and thought that would make her a u.s. citizen (guessed wrong!)
4) I put in my e-quip my mother is a u.s. resident. It asked how could I show proof? For some reason I checked pass-port. Told BI by resident card. Reason- I misread wrong box.
Any feed back would be great. Thanks for reading.Corrections: "We face what society fears."
