Yes, please keep making progress videos. I'm just waiting on my BG and polygraph and hopefully be on my way as well. Might even bump into you during training.
I feel like the hardest part for me is gonna be the polygraph, not that I'll lie, just that I've never done it, and i have a guilty conscience. Not asking for tips or "how to pass."
You need to be in a clear headspace and follow the instructions of you polygrapher. Don't let the stress overtake you. Don't worry about anyone else's results just focus on your experience and you will succeed. I wish you the best.
You wanna focus on cardio, but you also wanna build upper body strength and in your lower body as well so I suggest putting together a routine where you can work out your legs and your upper body efficiently to get stronger and build endurance and work on cardiovascular at the same time whether that would be interval running jump roping, whatever works best for you.
I’m from El Paso and from what I’ve asked to different BPA’s they have told me that I could stay local or near El Paso area, I don’t mind relocating but how true would that be?
how long did u have to wait to receive the final offer after u took n passed ur poly? i am currently waiting on it and waiting to hear frm my background.
I went through my background investigation shortly after. It took about 4 months for it to clear and a couple weeks later I received an offer. It sounds like you're getting close to wrapping up your application process, once your background is squared away you should hear back from CBP and things will move very quickly.
It would only be an issue if you weren't actively resolving it.. but it looks like you are working on it, which is good on your part. I'm sure you'll be fine..
It'll depend when you get a final offer they will have a list you can only pick what's available, but I'd connect with a recruiter in that area you want who can help you get more insight you need.
@@josephsantiago2405 honestly I'm sure that there are a handful of people who come here that don't speak English well but the instructors and your classmates will be there to help you out. Just do the best. You bring your best effort you will succeed. Looking forward to meeting you there, brother. Congratulations.

Good station. I retired from there in 2017.
Thanks for the insight. Appreciate your service. Looking for to it.
Congrats on making it. If you dont mind me asking, how long was it to make it to your polygraph test?
@@kennysanchez7631 when I reapplied in 2023 it took 8 months for me. Everyone is different
DOES ANYONE KNOWS HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET AND UPDATE FOR YOUR BG? i summit my e-quip almost 2 weeks ago
I’m on the same boat… just waiting for them to call me.
@@aervengatdor4237 The time can vary but you'll receive a notice soon.
What would you suggest getting prepared for the PT? Just focus on cardio?

How long did the whole background process take I heard it’s a year
I’m from El Paso and from what I’ve asked to different BPA’s they have told me that I could stay local or near El Paso area, I don’t mind relocating but how true would that be?
Depends on what locations are available at the time of your EOD
If you don’t mind me asking how did you pass the entrance exam? I just got my results and I failed
I used the study workbook on Amazon sand Peterson test prep.
Is there swimming involved in the training schedule?
Yes they have it
Last 3 days of PT. Nothing crazy
Wow. I dont know how to swim so I should just give up the process? Mind you i just passed the logical exam
@@ZootedWave I'd recommend you take swimming lessons to be more comfortable in the water.

I’m still waiting for my background to clear I was wondering is my credit history holding me back ? I got a second job to pay off some of my debt

@@evantoth__ appreciate it bro and it’s been a long process I’m still waiting on my background I’m a start working out everyday though
Just completed my logical test , results should be in 1-2 weeks what can i expect to come next
Eqip or SF-86 is usually the next step..
@@evantoth__what happens if i fail for any reason can i retake right away bro
@ passed test but now they are checking if i am qualified what does that mean bro
@@estebangaona1656after six months
@@estebangaona1656there's nothing to it just a qualification review, you should be moving on to the eqip soon.
If im only 20 should i even consider applying does age matter?
