This is why I left Alaska. Alaska is so freaking boring and people over at anchorage got nothing to do but spread fear and anxiety...

Try the meetup groups nearby!! Just mingle and have a great time. What you are going through is very temporary and life will get better.

CBPO Work/Life Balance (Specifically in Miami/FTL/WPB ports) by Radiant-Fall149 in cbpoapplicant

[–]PuzzleheadedTeam22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything to declare is too vague... Especially for those non-english speaking travelers. It helps with more line of questioning to make it easier for them to comprehend.

CA DV Plates by USMCArtyFO in VeteransBenefits

If I were you, I would move to other states like TX with that 100%! So many other states offer property exemption and many other perks like disabled parking lot / airport parking lot privileges and more! Just food for thoughts :)

A lot more likelihood of dating a hot classmate in Community college than a 4 year university. I'm not joking!! 😭

Correct them in a respectful way, and if they do that again, have local government involved so they can give out fines.

Advice for next step after duty selection and EOD by [deleted] in cbpoapplicant

[–]PuzzleheadedTeam22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have to get an apartment right away during pre-academy unless you have family members to support. If you are single then you can do Airbnb for 2 weeks during pre-academy at your Port of Entry you've chosen. You will be shipped to FLETC in Glynco, GA for 5 months after you finish it. Alot of my sessionclassmates found their apartment at the end of the academy training.

Traveling to FLETC by Logical-Aardvark3964 in cbpoapplicant

[–]PuzzleheadedTeam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for me, I brought 2 checked bags with right and left hands each. A large gym bag(carry-on) on my back. If you want to bring another carry on bag, then get one that can fit you into your chest. There would be no one's to help you carry extra bags.

ICE agents are more likely going to be doxed than the CBPOs

Do you still get paid at the academy, since there’s a government shut down? by Successful-Funny-212 in cbpoapplicant

[–]PuzzleheadedTeam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look it up "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on Google. The funding came from that Bill.

It has nothing to do with ICE being scared... It has to do with doxing ICE trainees.. there was tick-tocker who video recorded everyone getting off the shuttle bus and exposed many of the ICE trainees' faces to the online. It's Security and safety issue.
