Does anyone have a list of current flying assignment locations one could eventually get assigned to? I know they're pushing Aguadilla, Yuma, McAllen, San Angelo, etc. right now, but I'm curious where other opportunities may exist in the future.

, how was your first week back in AMO? You ready for a another few years?
Diverb has a lot of great insight guys, definitely listen to this him.
My wife would visit El Paso and consider it. For any of the guys that live down there, how smart would it be to buy a house there? New builds and newer houses seem fairly cheap (sub $250K for a decent sized house). Any good areas to look at if we visit?

Quick question for the experienced guys. I'm curious about the initial training, apart from the aviation related stuff. I understand there's a specific training to become a law enforcement officer, and then the aviation related part?. If that was the case, is it the typical army-like bootcamp? more like police academy?.
I'm a big guy, recovering from a broken ankle, so not int he best shape of my life at all.....and I wonder how compatible would that be with the job.
Thank you.

im not saying it was Marine Boot Camp or anything but you guys definitely has some serious PT requirements and hand-to-hand training (grappling) didn’t you? One of the major reason I didn’t pursue CBP after retirement was that I couldn’t physically past my last USMC PFT (I could do the BFT). And I assumed that with my medical condition I wouldn’t be able to pass the physical requirements of the FLETC. Can you expand on some of the current physical requirements?
