Natural selection leaves the survivors stronger and better! Humans have escaped this winnowing for far too long!

Would being a BPA for a year give me the experience (along with a college degree already) to become more applicable with other FLE agencies? I'm going on 31 in a few months, and with no bites, not even referral, since I graduated from college in August of 2011, I may have to suck it up and try BP for a year or two.

As for sucking it up and taking a BP gig, I strongly suggest you look local if getting investigative experience is your goal.Natural selection leaves the survivors stronger and better! Humans have escaped this winnowing for far too long!

Now compare that to what the guys down in RGC are doing. It's a completely different world, and your classmates will be busy running around catching bodies most days, while you are getting confronted by crazed citizens who think you are violating their rights, and processing bodies for hours on end.Natural selection leaves the survivors stronger and better!

I'm going on 7 years in BP (5+ intel) and have been on lists for laterals and status GS 12 and 13 1811 positions. A guy I worked with is in CITP right now as a 12.
But one year won't help you, even 10 years won't help if all you do is work the line...

I have however made it pretty far in entry level processes, only to get hit with a hiring freezes and have my applications thrown out because I'm not a vet.Last edited by Albert Wesker; 03-07-2013, 02:31 AM.Natural selection leaves the survivors stronger and better!

How dangerous is kind of an opinionated question.
Tracking 15 IA's carrying dope in the middle of the night with no moon in the mountains with two other agents...
That is a no BS scenario that happens all the time where I work. Other stations sit at checkpoints (unfortunately for them).
Don't you watch Border Wars dude!!! The real BP is EXACTLY like that...minus all the helo's, atv's, uav's...

Just a quick question about residence living. I heard that some agents commute to certain locations and then leave when on their rec days. I also heard that BP provides living for agents in some locations. Anyone who are current BP, can you explain those questions? Thanks.
