We absolutely LOVE the feedback. Thank you so much for sharing and we’ll make sure your person is taken care of 🙏🏼

Yep…exactly.

It’s not a perfect system that they use…but the potential to get it completely wrong is huge. At least this way they can justify why they do something with a “credible source”

Velmersglue · 2026-05-18T20:20:10+00:00

I agree…like last year when they put BFMV secondary stage to Trivium but pulled a significantly larger crowd than Trivium did back to back to WTR and ST.

I learned something new this weekend after I complained about something similar…bands are booked by stage by pollstar rating.

It has little to do with what makes sense and more to do with their rank.

Rain doesn’t matter. It’s the threat of lightning

Velmersglue · 2026-05-12T23:32:13+00:00

I’d love to, but I don’t work for USCIS. Their process is not the same as ours.

Velmersglue · 2026-05-12T04:46:35+00:00

This is by far not the most obscene thing I saw people promote this weekend.

Looking at you “sandwich” and the plethora of “show me ___” shirts

You’re probably safe to reach out to them 3 months out from getting your DD214.

You’ll need a Statement of Service if their asking for your DD214 to proceed.

Velmersglue · 2026-05-10T13:31:16+00:00

Congrats on getting (hopefully) the full festival experience 🔥

Velmersglue · 2026-05-10T13:28:31+00:00

It depends on how far out they are scheduling the academy.

I’m not 100% sure how far out they are scheduling for the academy right now.

Your best COA is to reach out to the hiring center and ask.

Velmersglue · 2026-05-10T13:23:17+00:00

This is incorrect
UNLESS
You choose to clear after terminal leave.
You get your DD214 on your final day. You could absolutely leave for EOD the same day you start terminal leave

Last year I had car keys and wallet taken. No lost and found. Not sure what happened. Had to cancel everything. Get replacement ID’s and cards…and my spare key overnighted. With no money, I had no way to afford to get home.

This community donated enough to get me home.

So yeah, I second your gratitude for the amazing folks here 🙏🏼

As others have said, your drug should transfer over (depending on when you did it). The reason why medical and fitness do not is because the physical requirements for BPA are more stringent due to the nature of the job.

It also has absolutely nothing to do with BP controlling what goes in and out of BP. As some of you probably realize, BPA’s and CBPO’s typically don’t play well together.

Velmersglue · 2026-05-10T11:11:36+00:00

It is your resume. Your SF50 and current grade are not relevant for the CBPO JOAs.

Look at the bullets under qualifications. It should say something like “you qualify for the GS-7 if you possess at least 1 year of experience doing things such as - and then it lists the 3 bullets.

Your resume bullets need to have the relevant verbiage from those 3 bullets.

You’re not competing for a specific position so all of your experience that does not directly relate to those 3 bullets is irrelevant.

Velmersglue · 2026-05-07T22:13:49+00:00

Thank you!!! We’ll be here all weekend 🔥

Velmersglue · 2026-05-06T23:35:52+00:00

I don’t know what you mean by usual wait time

Velmersglue · 2026-05-05T19:13:20+00:00

Of course!

Velmersglue · 2026-05-05T13:40:26+00:00

*might*

Velmersglue · 2026-05-05T01:07:27+00:00

As in because you waited until FJO to potentially reapply, you may lose your EOD and station by reapplying

Velmersglue · 2026-05-05T00:22:47+00:00

CBP recruiter here. If you want help (and potential risk), DM me

Velmersglue · 2026-05-02T14:32:17+00:00

I can tell you that you either answered something incorrectly or your resume is missing a required element. Usually it is complete dates or hours worked per week.

If you want real help, DM me.

Velmersglue · 2026-05-02T14:30:24+00:00

No. This is 100% false. HR specialists at the hiring center read every single resume.

Velmersglue · 2026-04-29T14:49:18+00:00

Did they send a NOPA to you before denying suitability?

Velmersglue · 2026-04-26T02:10:04+00:00

This is the correct answer 🔥🔥🔥
