You can work 20 years in a covered position, transfer into a non-covered position for 5 years and retire with the same benefits as a person who works 25 covered years.

12D is FERS retirement, which is just about what everyone has. 6C is CSRS retirement...which was phased out in the early 1980's. Only those hired prior to 35 years or so have true 6C retirement...and they're not many of those left.
I'm not counting on military time to cover 12D/6C time.... -
I might be wrong, but can't you retire at 45 with 20 years of 12D coverage plus the 5 years of military time you bought back? That there gives you 25 years in total. -
I'd skip the CJ degree and study something more universally practical and fungible. -
Well, one thing that needs to be understood is that overtime in OFO usually has a direct bearing on staffing levels. Fully staffed ports typically need and spend much less in overtime. It is also true that the overall agency overtime budget really doesn't change much when their is a hiring dump. It... -
OFO has pretty much been the redheaded stepchild of DHS/CBP from the beginning.
But, yeah...I don't imagine that the fact that Trump likes to snuggle up to Border Patrol and ICE portends much positive for OFO in the near future...especially since OFO sucks at self-promotion and creating... -
It would be interesting if someone would do a comprehensive comparison between the pay/benefit structures of most state/local and most federal LE jobs.
I suspect the state/locals have it far better than what is usually accepted as fact.
Border Patrol is likely the exception,...Leave a comment:

Border Patrol has a far, far greater need for new hires. Several thousand hiring needs more. -
Also, there's a fair amount of bad information, misleading information, even malevolent information out there with regards to this job. Even if a person gets good information, it might take him months to gather enough information to make an informed decision.. . changing his mind from his initial choice.... -
Years ago, there was an "anywhere" option on most announcements, just for those people who would accept any location. -
My thoughts…
We won’t see a Civil War, not like the last one. One, the notation of a “United States” isn’t as hardwired into this generation as it was in previous generations and two, IF we fracture, it’ll be for far more varied causes and for far more righteous motivations than...Leave a comment:

I've been there. Many years ago. -
It continually amazes me how bad CBP consistantly is at recruiting. Why don't they put together some sort of overview that explains to the applicant pool just who we are and what we do?
It also amazes me that most DHS agencies have basically no formal training in anything dealing with... -
The pension is but one of the "three-legged stool" you should rest your retirement on. Social Security and the TSP plan are the other two legs. Max out early on the TSP and build a healthy 1 million plus TSP balance before retirement and live comfortably ever after.Leave a comment:

CBPOs don't receive LEAP.
If we're talking some other job series, take base pay plus locality and add in the LEAP figure. Also a high three calculation. -
1.7% for each year of the first 20 years.(34%) 1% for any year over 20 years. Calculated currently at high-three salary. Overtime, if you can get it, is retirement creditable up to 50% of the statutory cap...at the moment 45K(22.5K). None of the differential pays are retirement creditable.

It's double time OT for anything over 8 hours daily or 40 hours a week unless one works an AWS schedule.
With an AWS schedule it would be anything over 80 hours in a pay period.
It is nothing like LEAP in that no overtime is guaranteed. There are ports that offer less than... -

CBPOs are 12D/6C covered, but they were granted coverage as a stand-alone 1895 series addition in 2008. They aren't defined as "LEOs" under FERS/CSRS retirement and hence, no GL pay. CBPOs hired prior to July of 2008 probably have the best deal of anybody. They have a blended... -

That's a GL pay chart. Get used to the idea of GS pay and no Title 5 "LEO" status if you move to OFO.
