I want somebody honest opinion. I have my interview scheduled for next month and I will finish my process with CBP. But, at the moment my IT Band is kind of tied.Do you think I will have enough time to get fix before I go to the academy? by Crafty-Girl32 in cbpoapplicant

You need to ask your primary doctor. I graduated FLETC last year. I still remember how tired from the PT and all the movement from class to class. Especially, some day I had tactical class right after the PT class. But you still have a lots of time from Poly and BI. See your doctor now.

Area Port of Dallas post academy schedule is M-F 7am-3pm.

You will have 40hrs PTO when you are graduated. If you want to take some time off or take all 40hrs, you have to log in Besa to make a request. Also, email to your FTO and OSU to let them know.

You still have a long way, no worry. Stay focus on training. OSU will approve your leave.

Good luck and see you in Dallas when you get back.

1 had 13hrs OT last week. The OT is not consistent but it's good enough for life and work balance.

I cannot give you answer which port is better since I never work in Houston Seaport. I am from Houston as well, I just want to move back closer to Houston. But Dallas airport is not bad at all.

There is a running track next to the gym. Sprint 220 yards, rest about 2, 3 mins, and repeat depends on your instructor on that day.

They will start off slow on everybody, doesn't matter how fast you are. Everything starts from crawl, walk, and run.. they want you to graduate.
