    Wow, that’s awesome. It is leaps and bounds from when I got hired as a Customs Inspector.
    Merging INS with the US Customs was a challenge and many failed to adapt. Seen CBP today, makes me proud of having one day been part of this traditional organization.
    Tô the new hires and current CBP employees, you guys are the first line of defense. We need you guys on your toes and managing all the challenging that the field with present.
    Awesome Job Commander. Thank you for your Service and dedication to our Students and Academy.
    Stay safe.
    Semper Fidelis

      @@xLethalxProdigyx No trouble. I was on terminal leave from the military, never touched drugs in my life. At the end of the test the lady administering my polygraph kept saying I showed signs of deception and kept trying to get me to admit to taking drugs or selling drugs. I admitted to being in the same room at parties with acquaintances that were smoking weed but I never touched the stuff then she went on this "Why didn't you call the police?" rant, that shows me you're not trustworthy. I was like "are you serious lady?".
      That was back in 2018, I heard they laxed up on the poly portion due to a very, very high number of candidates being dropped plus they really need people now. Best of luck to you...
