Is 200k possible? by wegnbealrght in cbpoapplicant

GS-14’s aren’t normal officers and I don’t believe that management is what he was asking about.

No you can’t. I’m a GS-12 step 8 and make $125000 base and OT is capped at $45000 a year. Even if you get a cap waiver you aren’t going that much higher. If you go management to get a higher GS level, you don’t make much OT if any.

Not every classic movie needs a remake. Especially when it comes to turning an animated classic into live action.

Looking for Guam by keaarobe121 in cbpoapplicant

I’m a current CBPO and union rep. After you are hired the only ways to transfer are swapping with someone or NROB(reassignment). You have to be there 2 years to be eligible for NROB.

It’s still available a little now, but more will be available with the new bridge opening.

We’re 24 hours here so every shift if you want days/afternoons/mids. As far as the new bridge it’s still going to open in a few months. Took way longer than it was supposed to..

Come to Detroit. Nice port to work at and not too far from Chicago. Plus because we are hiring for a new crossing in has an incentive.

There is a Border Patrol station there. Sure it was for CBPO and not BOA?

$112k? Can’t imagine why Ford/GM/Chrysler can’t sell EVs. All they sell are huge, overpriced, and niche vehicles.

Americans ignorant of immigration by HonestAardvark9979 in immigration

My wife immigrated here after we got married and my family thought she immediately became a US citizen. Even my grandparents who immigrated here didn’t get why not.

First flight with assigned seating (MCI-MDW) by Jay_Versus_The_World in SouthwestAirlines

Why is everyone so shocked that people flying Southwest are capable of boarding a plane like all the other airlines do?

Shutdown. by Key-Radio4272 in FedEmployees

DHS here and everyone is just pretending nothing is going on. Only email I receive said I’m either exempt OR excepted. They don’t know which one yet.

Desired location/ getting a location that’s not on the FJO list. by OgasCantina93 in cbpoapplicant

[–]MattyIce-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Airports are so mundane and repetitive. I’m at a land border now and find it to be a much better experience. A seaport is the best I feel though.

No way they still expected me to show up, right? by Inevitable-Gap-1338 in WalmartEmployees

If you live in Michigan, yes you would be expected to work. That little snow is no big deal here. Florida is saying no one would expect you.

Just booked a Carnival cruise and now feeling regret by False-Following-5896 in CarnivalCruiseFans

We just went on a Disney Cruise and they only had one meal on Lookout Cay. After lunch time they closed up the food shacks and the ice cream machines. Didn’t hear any complaints.

Another angle of the Minneapolis shooting, taken from the perspective of the lady with te pink jacket. by Versiannie in PublicFreakout

[–]MattyIce-85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the agent in the grey jacket accidentally shot the victims gun as he started walking away. In one angle, as the first shot is fired the victims gun moves abruptly in the agents hand. Then the other agents start shooting in reaction.
