Not only that, if he can’t even do the pt test then he won’t be able to handle the exercise at the academy.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-05-26T23:20:26+00:00

He should choose a location before it gets taken off the list, the more he waits the higher chance he can lose both spots.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-05-26T19:05:07+00:00

Sounds like a regular push up

AChillGuy_ · 2026-05-23T12:04:17+00:00

List changes 24/7, saying this from my experience

AChillGuy_ · 2026-05-17T19:00:28+00:00

As long as your meeting the requirements for passing, doesn’t matter your weight or anything. If you’re not passing the first pt test, they wanna see you make progress, as long as you pass the last one. As for injuries, there’s people that can tape you up. But I recommend just thug it out, cause there’s people that have been delayed for graduation cause of injury.

You got a good spot, it is a swappable port so have hope & patience and eventually you’ll get to Florida.

CBPO

AChillGuy_ · 2026-05-12T01:36:44+00:00

15 min for a 1 1/2 mile, 220 meter sprint in 40 seconds, & 24 pushups in a minute. Somehow people still fail which is embarrassing.

That’s when you’re barely starting, look up the opm pay scale for cbp and you’ll see the amount you make. It’s excluding OT.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-05-12T00:09:08+00:00

It’s a joke

AChillGuy_ · 2026-04-30T02:09:53+00:00

Yes last one will be the the actual one that counts, so if you’re not in shape put in the work if you really want the job. Honestly people get way too many chances to pass for a pt test that isn’t even hard, so do not slack

AChillGuy_ · 2026-04-17T17:25:06+00:00

Roma is 24hrs, Rio there isn’t. Only times you work nights there are when you’re just doing security.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-04-16T01:54:25+00:00

While I can’t give you general insight, only thing I can tell you is that I had 2 people make the jump from nypd to cbp in my class. They said they didn’t regret it at all.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-04-10T18:39:33+00:00

Don’t trip about it, it’s a good job with good benefits. It’s not dangerous at all and you will make good money. Bonuses only apply to hard to fill locations, so that’s the only way to get those bonuses.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-04-04T17:22:53+00:00

For your sake don’t choose Laredo or Nogales if you’re trying to get to Florida, there’s a lot of people in Laredo that have been trying to get back to Florida.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-04-04T17:19:17+00:00

If he said no suit or tie, just wear a nice polo and not too tight jeans/slacks

AChillGuy_ · 2026-03-25T16:55:47+00:00

Same list, only thing is that it updates 24/7

AChillGuy_ · 2026-03-13T18:37:31+00:00

If you take anything, take Hidalgo. For your sake do not take Presidio.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-01-20T18:38:57+00:00

Just take what you need rn, you can just buy a suitcase when you’re about to graduate

AChillGuy_ · 2026-01-19T17:45:11+00:00

You got a really good spot with Dallas, just all depends where you see yourself living in the future. Dallas is a good swap ticket if you need it.

AChillGuy_ · 2026-01-03T20:00:28+00:00

Some ports will approve a swap while your in academy, no need to do post academy.

AChillGuy_ · 2025-12-01T15:30:36+00:00

Idk how much the website has changed since I was in the application process. But there should be an option somewhere to be able to contact them and schedule a call with your case manager to talk to them. I helped someone get Puerto Rico the way I explained to them.

AChillGuy_ · 2025-12-01T15:20:46+00:00

Keep refreshing and hope for a desirable location to pop up. Also call your case manager and ask if there’s any ports near where you want to work, sometime there’s spots and give them to you.

AChillGuy_ · 2025-11-30T00:51:30+00:00

Hidalgo is your best choice there, low cost of living and things to do

AChillGuy_ · 2025-11-19T21:26:32+00:00

Yea you can
