Hey all - Loved reading through thread!
I applied to CBP last week, and received an e-mail this morning saying I was referred and deemed eligible, which was then followed by the you have a conditional job offer. The obvious question will be moving my family to one of the bases likely on the southern border, away from our immediate family and near no friends or support structure.
I'm curious, when flying missions do you typically find yourself on an assignment away from base for an extended period, or are most of your missions day trips (or night trips) and out and backs?
I spent 6 years during the recession as a US DoD analyst, so I'm familiar with government structure and bureaucracy. I will need to send them my SF-50 (as soon as i find it, or request one). I'm by and large a midwest boy, enjoys fishing, shooting, art, and spending time with my family.
Curious how well I'd match with the majority of CBP pilots out there?
