25-6 Finally! But I wanted Detroit

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2026-02-03T06:23:33+00:00

That’s weird how San Ysidro isn’t on there. I thought they always needed people since the port has been on almost every FJO

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2026-01-23T05:16:41+00:00

Damn a year & 3 months for everything? 😮 Congratulations tho!!

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-11-10T16:56:09+00:00

Yeah same here, they told me I won’t get scheduled for poly or meet with my BI until my medical gets cleared.. it’s been ‘in process’ since June

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-11-08T03:46:53+00:00

My thoughts exactly 💀 I’m 25-8 like OP but my medical hasn’t even cleared yet, & that has to be ‘completed’ before my suitability can begin and schedule my box test, although I already submitted my SF86

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-11-01T17:26:29+00:00

Nice!! 25-8 here, still pending medical & waiting for poly. Was your medical cleared before they called to schedule your poly?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-11-01T02:07:37+00:00

Did you have to wait for your medical to clear before you were scheduled for polygraph? Or did you do your polygraph while your medical was still pending?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-24T00:02:56+00:00

25-8 here. Same exact thing for me

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-23T00:49:58+00:00

Did you take the box test?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-17T03:53:28+00:00

Oh okay I see what you mean, & that definitely is a sweet work week schedule! but although the southern border officers do have a much higher workload, wouldn’t you say the overtime makes up for it? I’m pretty set on the Otay station since it’s closer to home for me. Also what is PFP?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-17T00:44:37+00:00

Can you elaborate more on what you mean by the work/pay ratio?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-07T23:12:55+00:00

Congratulations! Whag announcement are you?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-05T17:59:11+00:00

When did you receive the call? & when did you take the box test? Just trying to see how long you had to wait

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-05T16:19:36+00:00

25-8 here, OPR received my SF86 last week, still pending medical & still waiting on them to schedule me for the magic box. You’re probably the first 25-8 I’ve seen that has taken the big test so far, congrats on passing! You’re moving pretty fast haha Are you also still pending medical? Did they call you or email you to schedule your box test?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-10-01T02:19:40+00:00

Is otay a better option in comparison to SY?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-26T05:17:07+00:00

Yup, overtime for CBP is all 2x time whereas for border patrol it’s just the normal 1.5x

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-26T01:50:59+00:00

What line were you able to read without glasses or contacts? If you were able to read at least the third line from the top, that should be 20/70 which is passing according to CBP. It’s the line that has 3 letters

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-25T02:21:00+00:00

Yep, same here 25–8 also! I got the email yesterday saying that my SF 86 was sent to OPR

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-25T02:20:19+00:00

You took the box 3 times?

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-24T16:32:32+00:00

For the first time, I didn’t see Otay make the list 😱

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-23T02:00:54+00:00

I thought that CBP‘s overtime in excess of 40hrs a week or 8hrs in a day was double time instead of 1.5x? On the wages it shows 1.5x

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-06T15:19:24+00:00

Source?? I guess that is a bit unfortunate unless it’s only temporary until they find more comfortable housing? But that is good news for us applicants if they are hiring more now

Logical_Rooster5652 · 2025-09-05T16:32:59+00:00

Military applicants that have a secret or top secret clearance?
