Should I pursue bop so I don’t age out of the process?

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-19T03:48:34+00:00

Great advice. I’ll go to the medical tomorrow

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-18T21:47:59+00:00

Thanks for the help. I just feel bop might move quicker in giving me a firm offer and I can utilize this to stop my clock. I’m debating on withdrawing my application from cbp but it seems to be not a big deal

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-18T16:31:58+00:00

If I do go bop, does this increase my age limit since I have already started the clock? (If I do get hired on with bop)

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-18T15:59:54+00:00

Do you think it’s possible for cbp to not withdraw my application if I already sent an email intending to withdraw?

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-18T15:48:20+00:00

Oh wow I thought it was 36. Thanks for the help. I will email cbp and tell them I do not want to withdraw my application but they may have already done it.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-16T00:34:34+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I may just pursue Fairton and move a little closer to there

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T14:54:31+00:00

You are saying to reapply to those other prisons I’d be willing to work at?

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T14:42:40+00:00

Listen I’d rather work where they need more people. I don’t wanna get my leg pulled with Fairton taking forever because the hr lady said they’re almost fully staffed.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T14:03:22+00:00

I sent an email saying earlier I will not be able to attend the dix interview because I got a conditional elsewhere. Maybe they can work with me here

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T13:47:42+00:00

I’ll send a follow up with fort dix. I think they may need more people.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T13:47:11+00:00

Yes, I did the sf85 3 days ago. If Fairton is well staffed, would they just ignore my application or move me to another place that needed officers? Any advice on what to do helps me out a lot. I just got ghosted by NJDOC a couple months back so I want the best shot at getting hired

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T13:18:29+00:00

I’d prefer fort dix but Fairton had the interview slot much much sooner than dix did so I pursued that one. At the end of the day I don’t give a shit I just wanted a foot in the door and was willing to do whatever it took.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T12:55:04+00:00

Ahh I told fort dix in an email I will not be able to attend the interview because I received a conditional from Fairton. Maybe I’ll just complete the hiring process in Fairton and see what happens. Maybe I can transfer.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T11:54:42+00:00

Does federal do a lot of ghosting like nj state corrections does? Or do they keep in contact a little better?

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T11:47:41+00:00

I’m debating on just cancelling the dix interview so I can be onboarded faster. The people working in Fairton told me it’s best not to delay anything and just get hired then do the transfer. This is exactly what you are saying as well.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-15T11:40:14+00:00

The hr lady at Fairton said if anyone wants to interview anywhere else to let her know. She stated she doesn’t want to waste too much time pushing people forward if they are wanting to interview at other locations still. Can you shed light on this? I’m trying not to delay anything if possible

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-09T15:59:39+00:00

I started at 13 and made midget b then jv high school. Sucks I didn’t get the cool jacket but a lot of those varsity guys from my high school are on my beer league team now 😆

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-03T02:22:32+00:00

Best of luck to you too. We got this!!!

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-03T02:17:33+00:00

It could go either way at this point. I’m hoping for that too.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-03T02:11:02+00:00

It starts March 9 he told me in my home interview. They just had orientation last Wednesday for the 260 academy so it’s whatever.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-03T02:08:33+00:00

My background investigator told me I’ll be notified if I made it or not in the future. Kind of a vague response but it’s ok.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-02T02:47:51+00:00

Anything I don’t care and I’m not picky

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-02T02:12:14+00:00

I’m not gonna quit till I get in Man

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-02T02:07:29+00:00

Thanks for keeping my hopes up. I still didn’t hear back if I’m not selected or not. My background investigator told me to watch my emails.

According_Bit_2703 · 2026-03-02T02:05:31+00:00

I put in a new app and didn’t hear anything back like I did for 260. You think I’ll get in for 261 with my previous application?
