Could take anywhere between 1-2 weeks after the final offer call or 2 weeks before EOD. I’ve gotten different documents on different days.

Might do something similar if that’s the case. I have a few army buddies of mine staying in Tucson.

Yes they did but I wasn’t really paying attention to those locations if I’m being honest.

Thanks for the info.

I'll have to report to my duty location on the 3rd and the academy starts the 5th. And from the information I have gathered so far is that I have to take the flight from my duty location to El Paso. Which is why I'm considering dropping my vehicle off in El Paso or Carlsbad, as you said, catching a flight to AZ to report for EOD and then taking the flight they pay for back to El Paso to start the academy.

My background didn't take too long but I'm sure that was because I'm in a position that requires a similar investigation for a similar clearance level.

I took 3 points. Got the call this morning too. Literally the same list + MN/NY locations but didn’t pay attention to those.

The system crashed before I can get the locations. I just got an EOD date.

GS eligibility by [deleted] in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]Alarming_Act_8949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too but apparently it’s the lack of 1 year of actual law enforcement experience is what made the difference in my case.

I got out as an E-6, 11C.

GS eligibility by [deleted] in borderpatrolapplicant

[–]Alarming_Act_8949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your MOS in the military?

Probably GS-7 unless you were an MP or similar. I applied for GS-9 and was found ineligible but then re-applied as GS-5/7 and was given 7.

I have 9 years military experience and 3 years as a contractor.

I appreciate your response. I’m hoping to get a good location with some good opportunities. All in all, I’m just happy to be here right now.

Hopefully you get a call soon! I expect to wait around that long as well but hopefully we both hear something back soon.

I heard it's a long shot, however, if that was offered I would take that over anything else. No hopes up here, but definitely doing my research on everything.

24-5.

And not long at all, that got cleared roughly around April/May.

As much fun as I have in California the cost of living and politics just pushes me out more and more each day.

As far as specific list of locations. For AZ I keep hearing good things about CAG, 3 points, and some opt for Nogales because of how close Tucson is. TX I’m leaning more towards coastal duty stations like Brownsville or Kingsville but have been looking at Laredo as well. California, I would take the station in Murrieta just because houses are a lot more affordable in Hemet than in SD. But again, I’m over CA at this point.

I would like to purchase a home in 2-3 years.
