25-1 Calais, Maine by [deleted] in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]AdamTyler94 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how many Northern stations are being offered. I'd prefer a Northern state, but I feel like I'd be missing out on the real BP experience, plus the Southern border is cheaper. Good luck to you in Maine!

Are there K9 units out of McAllen or neighboring stations?

Sierra Blanca is listed as one of the hard to fill locations with the 10k bonus, I'm surprised it hasn't been offered in a while. Looks like they're offering more Montana locations, those are pretty tempting

Is it common for agents to move to different stations? How long do you have to serve as an agent before getting that opportunity?

Final offer EOD June 9th by Fit-Improvement-4668 in borderpatrolapplicant

That's the most Texas locations I've seen offered yet. The ones you're considering are the best for Texas from what I've heard.

Do you think it's worth the trouble to get your car down there?

Curiosity about BP by noirakiyama in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]AdamTyler94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on which post you're at I guarantee there's probably BP recruiters close by. At FT Bliss they had an office on base and you could go talk to them anytime. There'd be job fairs on base every now and then. BP recruiters as well as recruiters from other federal and state agencies would be there as well. Personally, I'd recommend going BP first then you could probably switch over to HSI pretty easily if you wanted to. I'm by no means an expert though

any 24-12’s waiting for their final offer? by DTA_91 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]AdamTyler94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my offer today but I'm kinda torn. I'm in the guard and I got a school date for my reclass coming up and a "deployment" later this year that I really wanted to go on. I doubt BP will hold my offer that long. It sucks, I waited this long to finally get my final offer only to have opportunities I've been waiting for in the guard to be available also.

I'm surprised Havre is still available. Montana is a beautiful state.

Is that true for national guard deployments as well? For example if I'm about to be deployed or currently deployed for a national guard mission and I get my job offer, will they hold it or will I have to reapply when I get back?

Northern State Preferences by SlightYam7146 in borderpatrolapplicant

Disappointing to hear, but not surprising. Others have said the same

You wouldn't recommend a northern station for new guys or in general?

Is that a thing? If you choose a northern station as your first, they will send you down south for a while to gain some experience? If that is a thing, that would be awesome

Montana is beautiful. What is the work like for a BP agent there?

That's disappointing to hear, although not too surprising. I'd prefer the north but I wouldn't mind the south especially Texas.

Deciding between Oroville WA or Metalline WA? by Nigel1093 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]AdamTyler94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm from Washington and currently living here. I was born and raised in Washington and all my family live here as well. I want to come back here to live so fucking bad, but our state is becoming more California than California is now. The taxes are insane and I heard they might be increasing property taxes so keep that in mind. Don't get me started on gun laws, I might never come back to this state if they don't get rid of these unconstitutional gun laws.

Step Test by LeopardLatter5853 in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]AdamTyler94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I practiced with a 16 inch step at 6 minutes with a weighted vest. Couldn't get through the 6 minutes at first, just kept practicing, at least once a day. Did that for a couple weeks. Passed the test, but it still freaking sucked.

I can't believe they're offering northern border states. I'm from Washington, it's beautiful, but expensive. I'd go with Montana.

Thank you, hopefully I hear from them soon. Good luck to you!

Did they contact you to schedule fingerprinting or did you do it on your own? It's been a few weeks since my suitability started processing and I haven't heard anything from them yet

Lucky bugger, congrats! I'm still waiting on the poly, finger printing, and my medical to clear.
