BP exam

Thought I would join in on the conversation and let you guy know that I feel your pain in waiting. I took my written on January 14th and passed with a 96%. I havent heard anything since then, so Im just grinding my teeth waiting.

I just passed my Oral Board today and before we went in they confirmed what has been said earlier that the process is halted (for our group any way) until the budget is passed.

Who knows what is going to happen because congress just decided to reduce additional $6.5 billion dollars. Hope we all get hire down the road.

Man, I've been wondering the same thing for weeks now... it seems like every article I read has different info: the Dems accuse the GOP of cutting border security and firing 800 agents... the GOP accuses the Dems of making up stats... and somewhere in the middle of all that is the truth.

[BoJackUSMC]

I think both party wants to keep the agents, but reduce the expensive fence project. The department says, they rather have more agents down the field than those expensive fence.
But at the end, who knows what is going to happen. Hope we will hear some positive news next month or so. Hang in there guys

Don't believe it. Nobody outside of the hiring center knows their *** from a hole in the ground regarding what is going to happen today, tomorrow or next month for hiring. Least of all whoever did your OB. Rumors in the BP are like STDs in a dockside whorehouse: they spread fast and everybody's got several.

When was you NOR? or at least your written?

Just came back from my Medical/Fitness Test. Doctor said everything looked good. The fitness portion is a breeze if you aren't a fat slob. I just have to go back in 72 hours to check on my TB test and then everything should be good.

The nurse conducting the test was cute. When she had me take off my shirt for the EKG, she giggled. I hope that was a good type of giggle.

I did my written test in November.

Thanks, are you in southern california? I took mine in southern california in early January and am hoping to kind of base my time frame off of yours.

Well, it only took a little over a month to get the results, but I passed my drug test (yes, i knew I would).

If the federal gov'ment was Microsoft, we'd still be running in DOS.

Wait until you have a problem with your paycheck and YOU owe them money. That's about the only time they move fast.

I'd be happy if the GOV was running as updated and fast as DOS.

Until I get hired... another 2-3 years, if ever.

I won't be holding my breath.

I think any federal agent job takes about 2 years or more to get hire. I am lucky I am in the process while I am attending school. Hang in there guys and always have your phone
right next to you.
