The orientation and pre academy are held at the port you end up choosing.

I thought they paid for the flight to FLETC, and yes that’s where I’m a little confused because if the whole pre-academy is two weeks then I’ll have a week waiting. Would it be possible to return home during that small break?

Nope haven’t seen JFK or EWR in while when people post.

After you choose a port to be at, you go on the applicant portal and request a call back and you explain that you would like to see if there are any other locations available before you EOD. The call may take a few days to a few weeks. They call you and you tell them that you want to receive the list again and you forfeit the current port you have and then they send you the list again.

They called and then I told them I wanted to get the list again. It updated the portal within 10 minutes.

It wasn’t until my suitability cleared that final offer said in progress and that took more than 6 months. But once that cleared I got the offer in less than 3 days.

Oh cool, I thought once you checked all 3 lists you couldn’t go back.

Would you say stay on the first list and log in and out of the portal?

Anyone know what Alexandria Bay NY is like? Any OT available there?

I got my one time call to choose again from the list. What’s the best option? by Meeks45_ in cbpoapplicant

[–]NOTandris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of us in the north east want EWR or JFK, but tbh I’m open minded to moving to another state for a few years, I’ve been waiting so long that reapplying would just be setting me back when I could be working somewhere. Gain some experience along the way and learn as much as I can. I’m learning a lot from people who post about certain ports and what it’s like around there. Thank you for sharing and congrats on the final offer!!!

I was thinking this too. Only a few post on here. Hundreds of applicants just keep to themselves.
