Minglor is not border patrol. (unless they are part of the same government group? But I’m pretty sure they report separately.) ---

Cause that is will you will be for probably the first 10 years of your career ---

I think you have to pick between going to Buffalo, Georgia, or Texas if I’m not mistaken, and you do your twenty years and you can retire, I’m also looking into this. ---

My friend did this for years in San Diego. Fucking loved it. Cruised around in a Jeep all day, chasing skinny Mexicans with backpacks full of marijuana. Eventually he got himself a job with the FBI. ---

glad someone brought this up. why the hell does rochester have at least a dozen border patrol trucks? i understand that they were iniated because of the fast ferry, but now that it’s gone i think we can find a better use for taxpayers money. ---

I thought about doing this too. Except I can’t learn Spanish for my life. My uncle does it though and loves it. He’s in MI now. He’s got some pretty sick stories when he was on the Mexican Border ---

I applied for the Air Interdicion Agent job. It the CBP pilot position, which is a sweet job, but they have a 9 month or so hiring process. I am waiting for an interview at this time. With my fingers crossed. From what I have heard, if your applying for a ground job, expect to be on the southern border for at least 3 years. Not cool. ---

yeah it’s very difficult to get hired and stay right in buffalo. you will spend a few years in another state before being provided with an opportunity to come back to buffalo. that shouldn’t prevent you from doing it though. as much as i love buffalo, i promote people to move around and experience different cities too. ---
