Apply early, hiring can take up to 2 years. Applications open at the beginning of every month and sometimes only allow 250-500 applicants, depending on agency needs. Right now, it's 1000 applicants at a time, but it changes every day just like the military.
Agreed, apply now! I waited over 3 years before getting a final offer, and I have numerous people in my class that have waited 4-5 years. The shortest wait was a little under 2 years.
@@billnye7745 that's really strange, took 1 day to apply, day 2 to test. I don't see it slowing down. All the testing is within 30 minutes of me, because I live near a port of entry. The polygraph seems like the hardest part to pass because you can easily make your heart jump to strange, unsettling questions. It took 2 months to get into the state prison academy here, I think they are moving very quick and covid must have really slowed stuff down. The hiring process from my recruiter, said 3-4 months.
@@floored3078 it definitely slows down once you reach polygraph and background investigation. I finished the test, interview, e-qip, and medical within 2-3 weeks….then hit the wall. Covid was definitely the cause though, and it created a major backlog of applicants.
@@billnye7745 Nice, how do you like working with CBP? I love the idea of working for them, Federal leo would be a sweet job, and they have tons of different stuff you can train into which is nice. I'm sure it has its ups and down like with most careers, but it seems like it would be fun
Alrighty then! Looks like it's gonna be basic training all over again 😆 🤣 😂 after 20 years of military service. Well then, this should be fun! I'm looking forward to it
@Cesar Rodriguez So, it's what I would call a gentlemens course. It's not basic training because you get treated like adults. But, it's about a 4 out of 10 in terms of intensity... so not that bad
@@elberg619solid. Question brother. Army infantry vet. I have a family, can you apply only for a specific state to work in, or is it like Army where they give you a duty station and you and your family have to pick up and move?
@@efficientfuture1336 Bro, so no. The hiring process is awesome at first. when CBP extends you a firm job offer (after all of the hurdles you have to go through). At that point, you get to negotiate many things one amongst them is your desired duty location as well as your starting step. (ie GS7 Step 3) I hear that step 3 is easier to get than say GS7 step 7 lol. Before I go on any further make sure you apply using the VRA job offers in USAJOBS. The VRA Job openings apply to veterans and they give you special considerations based on your disability rating as well as other factors. Also, if you have a master's degree in certain disciplines you are able to apply to start as GS9!!! and you get to skip the entrance exam lol... **** make sure though that you do your homework, because once they send you to a specific location you are stuck there for a little bit :( seniority takes priority to move personnel and the new guys as you know will always get last choice :( if you have any more questions let me know.
This is active shooter training. They still teach slice of pie and look at a deep corners. You will get a couple days of that training. don’t worry nothings changed.
It’s basic training, not en elite tactical unit with specialty training. They offer more training once you get to your port and some officers have the opportunity for SRT selection.
You should start the process now because it is known to be long and tedious. I’m not sure if the wait for BP is just as long as CBP. My process from start to getting a final offer was well over 3 years, mainly due to Covid. Hopefully they’re back on track and the process should be much faster now.
You'll need the Spanish for BP. For US Customs, just apply now. Northern border doesn't need Spanish and even if you're on sourthen border you just do some quick Rosetta stone courses and you're done. Just get yourself into shape and get into the mindset of being yelled at and dealing with stress.
Some cases it’s longer. I waited well over 3 years and I know some who have waited 5 years, but I also know some who got in under 2 years. The typical wait is around 2-3 years.
I applied for USBP back in Feb 2023, graduated university by June, and was in academy in Aug 2023, so it's heavily dependent on ur own personal history and background
I actually haven’t heard back from them. I tried to contact a recruiter nothing yet even the gentleman that was hosting the webinar gave me the correct recruiters email and number nothing yet but I am working as a private security for FEMA right now in a contract for like two years so whatever comes my way I’ll see what happens
@@venusiangirl it is I just didn’t intend on pursuing a career with cbp earlier when I started with tsa and only recently made up my mind…better late than never I guess
Local and federal law enforcement agencies adopt a lot from the military. Sometimes even uniform components. The fourragere must mean something specific to CBP OFO.
The blue cord indicates he's the commander of troops at CBP. The commander of troops is like the drill instructor. They teach you drill and ceremony, inspect uniforms, teach you how to maintain your uniform. They generally pop in unannounced to do uniform checks or will inspect you as you're marching to your next class. They also have allot of influence on where your class will graduate (if it's in the actual graduation building or if it's in one of the chow hall rooms set up to be a formal graduation room).
lololol the world doesn't revolve around the Army. A low of "military" uniform components are used similarly in local/state/federal agencies (ie. rank design, red/blue chords). In the Navy, the blue chord means a "Trainee RDC" or DI in training.
As a child in my country they celebrated a holiday called Halloween. In the day time it is October fest. If you make it passed October fest and beggars night you make it to All Saints’ Day. When my daughter was very young she enjoyed the holiday because she was born on thanksgiving just following Halloween. We have her a teddy bear baby shower. Alan Micheal did not like scary things. When she went into the haunted house it was too scary for her so they turned on the lights and got her out. She does events now. Wedding birthdays events planner.
@@geraldbrown8201 Nice! I don’t have to learn that stupid language and make more than then that border patrol! THANK GOD! And thank you for clarifying.
All veterans are like “ ah shit here we go again”
😂😂😂😂
That room clearing was fatal funnel suicide 😂😂😂😂 holy cow
They need some BD6 training lol
Us customs has been the most critical law enforcement since 2011. I trained with customs as a significant other.
I also honor my faith. My mother was raised during the Depression when my grandfather was away with the largest publishing company in America. Dad got mom baptized in the church. We believe in one baptism.
Do one for their SRT please and thanks
Great job
Awesome video God bless CBP💙🇺🇸💙🙌👆

I can assure you that it’s nothing like military basic training, so clear your mind about all that.
So was it what you thought? Worse or better?

@@Chuckerson100It is currently 21 calendar weeks in total

How long does it take the time from application to job offer? I heard around 2 years. Is it right?

So is there no language requirement for CBP?
Nope, and u even get bilingual pay if u apply for CBPO
Can you please do a video like this for border patrol.
U are right ya they should do a video like this of our BORDER PATROL AGENTS 👍
They already have that and it's old as hell from business insider
Upvote from a CBP video nerd that would love to film it! :)
They have one guys. It's freaking amazing and more intense! 😆
Where is this one at
Glencoe, Georgia
Glynco, GA
I do all this as a PSO
I’m sure you do.

It’s not bad. You’ll only have to learn Spanish if you’re assigned to the southern border and it’s done after graduation once you return to the port.
