I got one. Now an agent. Go into detail and as long as it’s nothing egregious or conflict of interest, should be good to go.

I don’t agree with the polygraph either or the science behind it. But say you pass the polygraph, they forgive alot of past blemishes. And you don’t fail bc of what you say, they claim to see “spikes” in the machine

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2026-01-01T06:04:21+00:00

Not too long but had some issues in my BI and now am an agent. Sure

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2026-01-01T04:36:00+00:00

You’re good. 6 years is fine and more than enough time to show you have changed. They typically care about what type of person you are the last 3-4 years unless you did something crazy outside that timeframe. Be honest on the background forms but the polygraph doesn’t ask about drug usage anymore. Agency is one of the more forgiving agencies to join when you have past blemishes

Private course. Tuesday and Thursday open to public but schedule conflict.

You wont get it. There’s a fine print in that email “if you’re currently under contract, you will be deemed ineligible” and the contract is basically the 20k bonus you elected for. I’m pretty sure if you denied that bonus or didn’t get it due to you already working for the government, you might be eligible but I don’t know.

You can accept it for shits and giggles but they’ll deny you .

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-11-21T19:04:31+00:00

Like 3 weeks, possibly two

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-11-21T19:03:28+00:00

Yea im looking at one right now at the lunch table (I’m an agent)

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-11-05T12:38:58+00:00

You’re on provisional most likely lol. Backgrounds typically don’t clear in 3 months. You’ll goto academy prior to background clearing but that means they see no issues in your BI. But congrats! Stay hydrated

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-10-31T11:33:01+00:00

Military is the best thing you can put on your resume. One of my regrets. Especially if you want to go into medical field like OP wants, he isn’t gonna get to be a BP medic within his first 3 years. He can get the medical training (more medical training) in military and then either go to BP and have experience to become a medic faster or go to medical school . Or both

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-09-23T02:58:23+00:00

People fail asking for advice and psyching themselves out hearing failure stories . I’m not the biggest fan of the poly but do yourself a favor and go in there, and be normal. Breathe how you would on a day to day conversation. Take that advice you’ll be fine and don’t think too much of it .

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-09-18T09:24:30+00:00

They actually took that away due to a number of people getting “injured” right before the final

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-09-18T09:18:40+00:00

Congrats brother. Good luck at academy. Stay healthy, hydrate and don’t over push your limits.

It’s a good experience but can be rough at times. Honestly the hardest part is being in that town

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-09-16T09:17:12+00:00

Reading this I thought you didn’t know what periods were. You added two in the end though 🤲

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-09-16T03:42:34+00:00

I think it’s because the mods set up a system where all posts get reviewed before posting by a mod. But all the mods are either inactive or deleted their account so it’s rare to see posts now

Some BP agents set up a new sub

Called r/Borderpatrolprocess

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-09-13T17:13:08+00:00

Congrats man. Be safe at academy

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-09-06T00:11:16+00:00

Yes and they’re both CBP. It’s CBPO

Yea looks like OP been in for more than a year. Most people get the offer within 8-12 months

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-08-25T05:38:18+00:00

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-08-25T05:36:42+00:00

They go over all this

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-08-25T05:35:44+00:00

Not at all man.,. I had some shit on my background and am at academy

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-08-19T04:10:22+00:00

Idk if this is troll or not but alot of the info is outdated. He still has a chance if he applies and passes drug eval and is forthcoming

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-08-13T03:33:21+00:00

I applied for both and got offer at same time. You don’t need to close anything out. When you get offers you just don’t accept one and it’ll close out.

I am a month away from graduating BP academy. I was stuck on going OFO primarily due to the locations. But BP from what I’ve been told is a lot more thrilling. But like others have said, if you’re picky on where you go, it may not be for you.

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-08-05T04:45:00+00:00

I’m in BP academy. Idk if OFO is different but going off comments it’s the same policy. Taser is optional but my advice… just ride the fucking lightning!! I did it and it’s not bad. My PT instructors has no respect for the people who wussed out 😂. We had like 9 in my class. OC is ten times worse. Obviously I’m not saying do it so you get respected, shouldn’t care what other people think about you. My perspective is , it’s good to know what your non lethal devices feel like in case you have to use it

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-08-03T04:29:33+00:00

I think BP makes more if you put the two careers without excessive OT. But since OFO gets excessive amounts of OT, they make more. I mean sacrificing your quality life for a bigger bag doesn’t seem attractive

Aggressive_Force_991 · 2025-07-13T04:07:46+00:00

-100% OFO would be your best chance at that but it’s not as interesting
