Fwiw, after the job offer from Brown and later turning down CBP, I talked to a few guys I'd been in contact there and they said it was the right move. Maybe it's a grass is greener thing, but I think a lot of it had to do with the bureaucratic BS that's been going on there the last few years. Search the Customs / Border Patrol merger. Had I not received the offer at UPS, I'd have been gone and never looked back. I didn't want to ride the 121 pax roller coaster for the next 20+ years...
