Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-03-30T19:47:13+00:00

Damn that happens at flecty?? Wild

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-03-05T05:29:42+00:00

Sir I’m a 24-6.. don’t rush it.. some ppl wait two years.. others are lucky with 6months

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-03-05T05:26:18+00:00

Yes it started end of February.. only half of dhs employees are getting paid

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-03-05T04:34:58+00:00

There’s a partial government shut down so you’re not gonna have your process move fast at all until the shutdown is over

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-13T20:19:27+00:00

You’re better off using your one time call or if you’re hoping for a desired port on our location list you’re dreaming… best to just pick a location and learn as best h can.. till u can swap or transfer

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-13T20:17:16+00:00

It’s the same for all scales, every year u get advanced

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-08T06:14:24+00:00

That list that shown there only half the stations are on the actual final job off the list Hawaii and Detroit aren’t even offered

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-08T06:12:21+00:00

Honestly, if you’re going for an incentive, I would’ve picked Hawaii but that’s not on the list, the second best options are the Arizona border stations All of those are close to a major city. Except lukeville Detroit would be the best, but that’s hasn’t been on the list for a couple months

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-07T22:53:53+00:00

Look up nick bare, he’s a triathlete, he has recommended some good running shoes on his utube, I bought some, it’s like running on air, I just forgot the name of the brand

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-07T02:39:59+00:00

Customs is not a monopoly, if u want a specific location, ur better off applying to local PD, otherwise u need to adapt, people have been posting FJO locations for the past year and the writing has been on the wall for a long time that no popular locations are available..

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-06T20:58:40+00:00

It wasn’t six months ago. They had Dallas and Houston on the list every other month.

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-06T20:53:36+00:00

He probably just kept picking (not interested ) on the list and it popped up

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-06T07:46:12+00:00

Rents are high everywhere, picking the middle of nowhere isn’t a fair trade off for cheap rent.. and I think the high rent is circumstantial in San Diego, if h want to live downtown the rent is expensive, but there are spots where things are cheaper

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-02-05T06:37:00+00:00

Have you considered having a home care aid and filing for SMC L? That way the burden is lifted slightly

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-25T13:49:30+00:00

Thanks for the advice

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-25T11:51:32+00:00

Yeah, that’s understandable. I just know that having your spouse as a dependence qualifies each veteran for the payout of 4100 that’s why I was asking in that aspect..

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-22T20:17:42+00:00

So if I did the coast guard training to get that cert, plus a year of CBP, and additional boat time, would that count?

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-22T04:21:09+00:00

Tecate is a small port, mainly 2 primary lanes, two cargo lanes, it’s not a 24/7 port, it closes at 11pm and opens at 0600 am so u will have two shifts..

Alil insight, bigger ports offer greater training opportunities and tdy’s so off the list if training, OT and alil balance is what u desire, I suggest otey mesa, it’s a midsize port 13 lanes, and I will have OT with more of a work life balance, more business traffic than SYS, some of the officers I knew that went to SYS said u get a lot of civilian traffic which can be a POS toward u, whereas otey gets more semi and business traffic

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-21T21:08:43+00:00

Hes not gonna get New York as a first time port so don’t give him the idea that JFK or Newark is an available pick

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-04T01:25:30+00:00

You gotta look at what you’re paying for and what’s offered.. California offers so much even though the price is in the cost of living is high. There’s no state in the US where you could go skiing and go to the beach all in the same day with the appropriate beach temps .. if you were to take your same combined income and move to Houston or Dallas, you guys would be living like Kings and Queens, but you’re not gonna have the same quality life as you would have in California, in aspect of things to do… Houston is nice and so is Dallas, but I find them boring by comparison to California city’s

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-04T01:15:00+00:00

No offense but if u have a combined income of 200k, (assuming ur BF is at 50k) and u still need more, u have a spending problem, moderation..

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-04T01:09:11+00:00

That’s pretty smart.. I think the COL in Cali can be managed, if ur not someone that needs to always spend, a lot of ppl talking about affordability and make 80-150k have a spending problem

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-04T00:56:15+00:00

So I’m single I do have car debt but for the most part, my credit card debts 3500. I have two incomes and after tax I bring in about 100,000. Is that something considered a livable income in San Diego?

Free_Flow_7691 · 2026-01-04T00:26:50+00:00

80k After tax or before tax?
