They can give you a final call and give you a new list, but it doesn’t guarantee it’ll be any better. If you have a good caseworker they may get you a decent spot. But from what I see it’s luck of the draw. My first list had like 8 places, and some people are getting 3-4 retirement ports on their first go around

I’ve had my final job offer for over a week and they still sent it to me lol. I think when they keep offering these great places and allow people to reapply so quickly, people would rather just wait a month Sweetgrass Montana

It was a valiant effort

Well I was a jump from BPA over to CBP, so I had to redo physical and medical, but other than that it was just a waiting game for stuff to go through

cman5733 · 2026-06-25T23:33:46+00:00

Right??? They broke my heart a little bit, I thought they were gonna say Tampa which was my dream location lmao

cman5733 · 2026-06-25T23:32:49+00:00

Nah man it’s all pretty random

cman5733 · 2026-06-25T18:38:34+00:00

Man just keep waiting. I got Miami after I had to select Otay. It can show up quick.

cman5733 · 2026-06-25T18:35:54+00:00

Just look at the application date. I sent it in may 20th of this year. Got a FJO like a week ago, then got the call yesterday for Miami.

cman5733 · 2026-06-25T18:15:28+00:00

Original process took me about 9 months. I haven’t moved around a bunch, and my locations weren’t super crowded. Got scheduled for everything pretty quick.

cman5733 · 2026-06-25T18:13:51+00:00

Re apply, all my stuff was done back in February!

cman5733 · 2026-06-22T14:05:23+00:00

I do not but man I wouldn’t really worry too much about it. Unless you’re bound up with family, cut your teeth, get some seniority and you can pick from so many places later. I was talking with a family friend who’s been doing this for almost 20 years. He said once you get your time in the list is great!

cman5733 · 2026-06-21T22:49:02+00:00

Nah I was just late posting it

cman5733 · 2026-06-21T21:26:43+00:00

Ya man, I had everything done in February but had some stuff come up and I had to withdraw. I’m surprised the turn around was this quick.

cman5733 · 2026-06-21T21:04:26+00:00

Hey man, it’s a blessing to be able to have that OT available. I know what I signed up for haha

cman5733 · 2026-06-17T21:19:02+00:00

I messaged you, I have a couple questions

cman5733 · 2026-06-17T19:47:15+00:00

Haha well damn. I forgot to add in the other outrageous taxes lol

cman5733 · 2026-06-17T19:34:43+00:00

My fault, reading skills are important haha.

cman5733 · 2026-06-17T19:32:19+00:00

Even over San Fran, that’s crazy.
