Waiting for the call from Border Patrol - XDTalk Forums

ah8176 · 10-21-2009, 09:21 AM

I got informed by Border Patrol earlier that I've passed all the requirements, and all my paperwork and background cleared. Now I'm in what they call "TSU" or Training and Scheduling Unit. Basically, I'll be waiting to get picked up by a unit. They say it's about 60-90 days, but probably more like 6 months.

Oh well, more time for me to get in shape, and gives me an excuse to go to the range more often.

Congrats!

I'm in the same boat, except instead of BP, I'm "approved" for Customs Officer.

The information I was able to get the last time I called the Scheduling Unit is that they're waiting on Washington to approve their budgets before they can hire again.

That being said, even though Obama's campaign promise was that he would BEEF UP our own domestic security in order to take the War on Drugs to the next level...all of the reports I read on earmarks and where the dollars actually come from (i.e. a new museum in Louisiana, the funds for which came out of the defense contracts for fuel, ammo, etc. for the troops), make me very skeptical about what, if any, budget will get approved.

So I say this with all the hope in the world: Good luck!
