Border Patrol Agent

Beat my NOPA!! just received my offer.. very excited... In case some are wondering about my NOPA, I smoked MJ about a year ago and I was still able overcome this so it is possible!!!

So you must be MSmith434 from over on HonorFirst. I'm guessing the responses over there was not what you were looking for.

I think they do have a point with you saying you "beat" the NOPA sounds smug or deceptive. I think if you had said you overcame it would have sounded better, but it's too late now. I also agree with them that you didn't receive a NOPA since you just got your TO. NOPAs are issued after your SF86 is reviewed.

I should have worded it differently over on this forum.. didn't mean to sound smug.

I DID mean to word it like that over on honorfirst however.. just wanted to stick it to a few people...

I guess it wasn;t a N.O.P.A then.. i just got a letter after i passed my written saying i was unsuitable and I could appeal which I did

Did it work?

Well good luck with the hiring process. It seems like you will have an uphill battle. Ecspecially if you purposly want to **** off active BPAs.

Don't worry. It doesn't sound like he will get very far.

.....and how many Instructors watch HonorFirst and this thread?

GL in Artesia my friend

[TPA3312]

Madchicken, yes it does seem like it worked!!!

And I know background investigators may look at these forums. Thats fine. I think your bitter bc you said there was no way I was getting in with my prior drug history (which isn't much)

madchiken = FAIL

Wow. How old are you, 12? So how is your air marshal application going?

[yellowreef]

Hmm, corrections guy from Nevada... Don't forget to post you class number when you get the call bud.

This is getting off track, reaper chill, stop trying to show up the people who are trying to help us on a Forum for FREE. Jesus.

oh didn't mean to make anyone mad on this forum.. just madchicken and people at honorfirst.. he is an easy target with his anger issues.. actually my other applications are going great.. border patrol is moving so fast its crazy

I'm not sure he cares:

No problem, I'll just stop answering people's questions. I don't get anything out of it besides better quality backup from those that stfu and listen. I think you guys are down to 2 or 3 agents still answering your questions.

But great job on your progress, maybe they will get through that stack of 16,000 faster than we all think.

[TPA3312]

Just ignore ignorance.

[nelly]

yes it seems peoples progress just depends on their background and luck I think.. It seems it started out slow in the beginning but is definitely picking up!!!

Lol, hey buddy...get in line just like the rest of us. You think just cause your a dopehead and over came a N.O.P.A your getting a job?? You have a long wait my friend....
