My husband graduated the academy and has officially started FTU. We are currently going through a difficult period and we are trying to get him home to El Paso. Current BPAs any knowledge will help!
Has anyone dealt with the Medical Review Team in regards to VA Disability?
Is it a fairly straightforward process?
Has anyone needed to provide records of their C&P Exams for Medical Review?
Is there a way to get them WITHOUT a FOIA request?
I received a message requesting more information on my VA Disability.
It is as follows:
For further consideration, please submit:
I have part One and Two but don't want to mess around and do a FOIA if I don't have to.
Thanks!
Just felt like the time was right to move on, now that my I only have magic box and BI left
Just reapplied 2 months after the last final job offer, I see that fingerprints, box test, background, exam was not carried over. Does anyone know why? I under the impression that everything gets carried over?
Why do people not like working in Fal? I always see a lot of hate regarding that station and I would just like to know.
Got my FJO today but didn't really have locations I was desiring. I know people get shit for this but I really wanted to go up north. However I'm thinking of Texas as an option now. Here's my list if anyone has some insight on good places to go https://imgur.com/a/J4ggtne
Super stoked to have finally gotten through this process. I really wanted Colville, WA but I don't see it on the list.
I see I can click "I don't want any of these locations", but I'm afraid I will get even worse ones. I've also heard you can request a one time call and possibly get a more desirable location? How do you do that? Thanks in advance.
Hey everyone! I’m currently a Border Patrol Agent and recently applied for the Reassignment Opportunity. I’m hoping to connect with agents who have gone through this process before
Any tips or information will be greatly appreciated
I drug test next week
Just a question for anyone that has been through the academy during the winter months. Do they give jackets during running or anything or should I just take my own and be on the safe side. Clearly don’t want to over pack that’s the only reason I’m asking. Thank you for your time!
So if we get hired through an incentive, so we have to stay at that station for 3 years or just stay in the patrol for 3 years? Someone was telling me you have to stay at the station but I want to be sure
I know i’m a little early for this & I have a long way to go but I was born and raised in New York City. This would be a whole dynamic change for me however i’m still excited.
I’m a single 26 year old African American Male with no Kids so i was wondering which locations would you guys think could favor my situation the most.
I’m not worried about being overly comfortable or anything like that i’m just being transparent with who i am.
I don’t know if I’m comfortable with Texas locations but i’m not opposed to it. I think it would take some convincing.
I like to think about things earlier than i should because I am trying to be as prepared as possible for this decision.
Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
Hi everyone! I'm currently at the end of my process for Border Patrol, waiting on my background check to be approved. However, I'm curious to know what stations I should research so as long as they're available.
For context, I'm from New York with no ties, single and no kids. I want to get out of this state and go to a southern border station where there's plenty of work and OT where I can quickly learn the job. As well as good pricing on standard cost of living and housing and more of a family life environment.
I've been looking at El Paso and adjoining areas, I remember I selected El Paso and Clint as my preferred stations which I know aren't guaranteed. I did see some other posts claim Santa Teresa is great, but you have to deal with NM taxes and if you commute from Texas, you pay their property taxes as well. Or head to a station in Arizona such as Three Points or Tucson. Etc etc. Or maybe I should be looking further down the border? There's just so many stations I've seen and reviewed so I need to narrow down my list a bit.
Any information will be greatly appreciated. I understand that these are desired locations so spare me the "oh you're so picky" speech. I'm just compiling a list so I can be prepared when the time comes. Feel free to DM me too.
Hello this is ******* I am trying to contact OPR I have been deemed unsuitable for a CBP application 3 times I don’t know what i have to do in my end to help mitigate concerns. I have no charges under my name. I have requested a FOIA as well but no documents were sent to me I have not gotten any clarification other than I am deemed unsuitable to pursuant 5 C.F.R Part 731. I need to receive guidance on what I can do on my end. I am being deemed unsuitable for disclosures I made in my 1st attempted p01y9r@ph on 2024. I reapplied in 2026 and I passed my p01y9r@ph but now I cannot advance in my process because I am being held accountable to my failed P**** in 2024. I mitigated the questions they asked me when they sent my NOPA but it was rejected. Do I just stop applying because I will always be rejected ? Is there a wait time I need to do? If I can please be contacted via phone or email I would greatly appreciate it I want to overcome this obstacle. I have been upmost honest with the whole process and I am just asking for a chance to be a part of this organization.
Can someone help me or explain how I can get passed suitability. Over a disclosure I made and i am having a hard time getting past suitability.
I have a family of four, and my wife is expecting our baby girl. We're currently living in Connecticut, but we're thinking about relocating to Texas. Im prior service Military as well.
If both McAllen and Laredo are available when I choose my duty station, which would you recommend? We're looking for a place that's safe, family friendly, and affordable enough to raise our family on my Border Patrol salary alone. I'd also love to hear if there are any other Texas stations you think would be a better fit for a young family.
Cbp website is pretty vague about this location. And I think was last updated in 2016. Google isn't much help either. I'd like to have an idea of what I'm headed towards before I arrive.
As the title states, I EOD on the 15th and haven’t spoken with my POC. Should I call the supervisory agent number from the fletc registration email, or use my one time call from the portal. I had to use the CRIS number earlier this week and the lady helped me get my OPM credentials because HR hadn’t processed me yet. I’m assuming the office is just swamped processing everyone and I totally get it but I like to stay on top of things if I can help it. Anyone else experiencing this
Hi everyone! I just received the FJO yesterday, and these are the available stations. I was really hoping to get something in the Valley, but that didn't happen. I called, it's a Virginia number and told them I wanted something in the Valley, and the lady said she would add a note to my application. Is there anything else I should do? Or should I just wait and see how lucky I get?
Thanks everyone for your time.
Just curious about what sort of stations these are like. Is there a lot of opportunity for field work or is it mostly checkpoint duty?
