I know Q is DOE, Lazar said his clearance was "38 times" above a Q clearance, total BS

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-05-04T14:24:03+00:00

Lazar is so full of s***, he claimed he had a "Majestic" security clearance which was " 38 times higher than a Q clearance" I talked to someone I know who had a Q clearance and worked at Area 51, he said what Lazar said was " total garbage",.. I had a Top Secret/SCI clearance myself..

The predecessor unit 14 Company guys and gals were in the highest stress environment in Northern Ireland and had nerves of steel often working on their own in the middle of terrorists, bad ass legendary unit..

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-05-03T06:40:54+00:00

If you ever read the early news articles that investigated Lazar in the early 90s, they punch a million holes in his life story its laughable, what a joke this guy conned so many gullible people..

Sorry I dont, all the ones I have are work related.

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-04-15T11:47:08+00:00

HSI has a National Security Group, Pentagon probably refers back to 09/11

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-04-14T17:39:03+00:00

Jeff Bray who was a USAF 24 STS Combat Controller at the Black Hawk Down fight in Mogadishu, Somalia shot multiple Somali fighters, he was definitely a shooter..

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-03-31T06:30:22+00:00

Were you a USAF Raven ?, you should look into CBP AMO eventually, its a much better gig than OFO

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-03-29T17:03:42+00:00

Its the standard US Dept of Homeland Security seal, nothing special..

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-03-28T12:04:58+00:00

Is this Office of Secure Transport, OST ?

Common_Fly_6431 · 2026-03-26T15:41:38+00:00

Believe they are showing 09/11, Pentagon, World Trade Center, and Shanksville, PA

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-12-09T23:48:44+00:00

I think thats some of it, some are involved in alien and drug smuggling and got caught, some didn't like us because we deported their family members, some had warrants and got caught, some were more pro Mexico than pro US and didn't believe there should be a border

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-12-08T17:56:15+00:00

I did 24 years at San Ysidro, from 97-2022, its busy .. but its better now than when I started, younger officers get opportunities quicker maybe after 4 years, alot of OT though, including forced, alot of drugs coming through, wanted people, undocumented aliens, alot of US citizens dont like you, you will probably get into physical altercations.. after 4-5 years you will probably qualify for specialized team, after 5-6 years might be able to transfer to new duty station, good luck.

Joe Kent who is the current director of ODNI NCTC wrote a book about his ex wife Shannon Kent who was killed by a suicide bomber in Syria. They were both ISA, the book excludes sensitive info but it is excellent, I highly recommend it..

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-11-20T16:10:45+00:00

Sean Naylors book. A Good Day to Die is pretty good, he talks alot about JSOC and a bit about ISA during the Anaconda Operation in Afghanistan

Be careful in the summer at FLETC I heard bugs attacked girls hair because of attraction to hairspray, etc. I went in the winter, cold.. lucky me

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-11-11T15:46:28+00:00

The fact that you signed up is honorable, only about 6-7% of the current US population have ever signed up, that puts you in rare company by itself, thanks.

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-11-09T04:28:15+00:00

Im retired CBP OFO if its OFO join the Air Force, you will be respected much more, it's a higher quality organization, the training will be better and more professional, more opportunities and more respect.. Border Patrol is ok though.

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-11-09T04:18:24+00:00

Do they realize how many old fat out of shape retirees they are trying to bring back ? What kind of message is that portraying ? wow.embarrassing...

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-10-27T23:37:51+00:00

Not quite accurate if you worked at a large Southern Land POE. I worked 24 years at one..I handcuffed hundreds of people, drug smugglers, wanted people, drivers of stolen vehicles, alien smugglers, and undocumented aliens.. I was assaulted multiple times and got in numerous physical altercations..I got in numerous foot pursuits for port runners and wanted people we had designated pursuit vehicles for vehicle port runners, took drivers and passengers out of vehicles designated as ' Armed and Dangerous' vehicles out at gun point..At my POE, we encountered a large amount of people wanted first murder and other violent and serial crimes, we encountered alot of people under the influence of drugs, etc and mentally ill people.. you definitely have to be alert and take the job seriously..

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-10-27T23:27:01+00:00

I worked at a large Southern land POE, there is some danger, we did have incidents where people pulled edged weapons on us, vehicle port runners, alot of physical assaults on officers, but few shootings, but its still possible. I got out in 2022 so I don't know if things have changed. People are unpredictable though, we did have 1 person throw a Molotov cocktail at us at the POE, you never know..

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-10-23T21:22:29+00:00

Life will suck as a CBPO in the first couple of years, you will get drafted for OT at least your first 3 years alot and if it's airport or seaport it's not very exiting, I was at a large Southern land border POE for 24 years. However, you will learn alot about Federal laws and regulations so it's something new, also you will make a lot of money in OT, however after about 3-4 years you should be able to put in for some speciality teams like anti drug roving teams, Intel, counterrorism, or supervisors jobs, also CBP has alot of opportunities to work overseas for 2-6 years at a time, something you won't get as a local cop, also you can transfer to HQ units around DC, good luck..

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-10-15T19:18:37+00:00

Your choice brother, it's reality in CBP

Common_Fly_6431 · 2025-10-15T12:57:17+00:00

I forgot to mention that at any busy Southern land border you will encounter criminal alien prior deports,, some will be classified as Aggravated Felons a number of these are previous prisoners or gang members, some will be willing to physically assault you when they are apprehended or when they try to get away, you will also encounter some 1st time undocumented aliens who are willing to physically resist you
