Any CBP Officers Around Here?

[skoltuniak]

I take my test on the 13th and was wondering if any of you have any advice. I would also love some insight of what the academy and day-to-day of the job is like.

Please feel free to PM or email me; It would truly be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shaun

Have you ever been pepper sprayed?

Have you ever been pepper sprayed?

I look forward to the experience! :furious:

Getting sprayed ain't half bad, it's the obstacles you go thru after...

Each Academy is different. Depends on the program.
Long classroom hours. You'll learn a lot. Custody & Control is a blast. The Defensive Driving is fun.
You'll enjoy it.
Except maybe the pepper spray... :ponder:

The pepper spraying happens on the second to last day of the academy.... Just pray that they spray you with the pepper spray and not the pepper spray "foam". I hear that the foam is 10 times worse and is harder to wash off... I will let you know in 14 weeks what it is like to be sprayed.....

30+ years with Customs/CBP...if you haven't done so, try Delphi Forums for the CBP forum...lots of good questions and answers. PM me if you have specific questions and I will try to help.

Have some milk available if possible. It will counteract the effects of the pepper spray.
