Remember the final 1.5 miler on the PTT? Rounding the curve and getting hit with a fresh gust of oil refined wind? Mmmmmmm...

You have to sign the answer booklet?
I called the hiring center and left them a a voicemail to see what the hell I did wrong.

Yep, our administrator first told us not to sign the booklet until we finished. After we finished the first 2 test he had us sign realizing we would probably run out after the 3rd test forgetting to sign. I know I would have. We were the first test group in the area so this was new for him too.

Good luck everyone...I withdrew my name from consideration today.

I just accepted an offer I can't refuse down in Tampa, FL.

I dont recall myself signing anything........ I swear that if this was the reason I'm really going to cut my cojones off.

Several people where I tested didn't either. The lady conducting the test was so old she didn't know anything. I asked when I turned my paperwork in if I needed to sign and she said oh yes. The people that had taken off before me didn't sign it.

Watching Border Wars. Would it be ok to mention this during the oral board? I'd imagine so because it looks like CBP wants more exposure for better public perception on the border issue.

If you have a question in regards to something you saw on the show, ask away. If they ask you what you know about the USBP or CBP, mention the show. Otherwise, your Oral Board members aren't going to be particularly interested in what you watch on TV.

What? Can you be more specific? Do not understand what you are trying to say.

hey guys this is my first week at the station, i love the job and everything but my wife still does not want to move to San Diego. I been thinking of resigning especially because i have a baby on the way, but i do not know if this decision will affect my ability to get hired in law enforcement at another federal or state agency.

[tk90]

was there a section on the test where we put our email addresses?

because I don't remember doing so, and most people who tested on the 18th seem to have gotten their scores.

I hardly watch television, only educational programs like PBS, Discovery Channel, History Channel, and sometimes CNN (if you can call that unbiased news). I watched the show purposely because I want to know a bit more in depth of what CBP does, and how they do it. The show was more than an eye-opener, and I look forward to sitting in the brush late at night watching for smugglers, both human and narco (46s), and of course, UFOs. I bet Mulder started his LE career in CBP.

I believe that's pulled from your USA Test Manager or CBP-HR profile. I wouldn't sweat it just yet.

It seems like you went through the academy fast. Did you get to skip the extra 8 week spanish class? Since you are fresh out of the academy, what was the pt like? Meaning, about how many hours a day/week did you pt and what were the runs like? Was it harder/easier than you thought it would be? Thanks

[Cyber_Saint]

You made it all the way through the academy knowing you were going to be stationed in San Diego, and now are resigning because of that? Or did you just EOD? Thats going to look bad to any other agency that bothers to look into why you resigned if you've already gone through the academy. They're going to say that it shows a lack of planning. You might be able to mask it by claiming that you resigned due to unavoidable family constraints.
