Border Patrol Agent

[Raymart]

I am far from both of your numbers big time! I can say that back in January I was running 18 min 1.5 mile. Now I consistently run 13:50 to 14 min 1.5 mile. I am also about 35 lbs lighter....

looking to be under 13 min before going to the academy

Hi, I'm new to the site.
Just had a question, I took the Border Patrol Agent exam on 1/14/2011, got my scores on 1/19/2011 and then just last week (7/26/11) I received a Tentative Selection email with forms to begin my background, then not even finished with the first email I get a second Tentative Selection email (TSL is the name) on 7/28/11 with the E-QIP. I finished all the paperwork and the E-QIP. On the second email it says that I'll be receiving fingerprint cards in the mail that could take about a week to arrive from the date of the email..

I moved about 8 months ago and set up a forwarding address, my concern is the email states that I have a deadline of until 8-8-11. I have tried multiple times to contact them and all i get is a voice-mailbox and no call back. Anyone else have a similar situation or know of a better way to contact them? I really don't want to miss out on an opportunity.

I hovered around 15 min 1.5 mile times about 6 months ago. I also lost 45 lbs. Working on breaking 50lbs lost.

Dont be intimidated by my numbers at all...im a runner. Ive been running 3 - 6 miles a day for 2 years +. I did the San Diego Rock N Roll marathon in June. I run for fun and Im only 165 lbs.

Everyone reporting to Yuma, Az on 08/22 check your PM's. Philly, rynotex, A_gillespe...I sent you all messages.

Good luck guys! See y'all down there!

I'll send you my info shortly. It's better knowing someone through an online forum than not knowing anyone at all. This is going to be a world of change for me.

You skinny guys bug me when I have to run with you..you make it seem so effortless I'm a biggun 5'10"/240lb but I learned, in the Marines, that I can run pretty well for a big boy. I did a half marathon last year but I think I'm going to stick with sprint tri's and mud runs from now on because my knees and ankles were really mad at me after that marathon

For those of you struggling with your run times just remember, it's all mental. Whenever you think that you're going as fast as you can, go faster for a short distance. You'll be amazed at how quickly your body gets used to running at faster speeds. Good luck!!

Oh yeah, CASS finally updated and the only check I don't have yet is my drug test...it is scheduled for tomorrow.

Set up my date to take the exam in PA in September. Congrats to all who have gotten "the call" and who have their EODs. Seems as if it takes about a year for completion which isn't too bad. Good luck to everyone else who is starting the process and who are still in the process.

Can someone please inbox me the number for IA? Each number I call is met by a 'busy' signal. If I have a military security clearance, I wonder what is taking them so long!? Thank you in advance!

Your being investigated to see if you are suitable to be an agent not to give you a security clearance. Everyone has to go through the process wheather you posses a clearance or not.
