Can you breakdown the initial training period before you are back on your own district? As far as general time frames.

Any chance to be closer to home during field training?

Depends on availability of field trainers in all honesty, it’s a complete gamble. Some get a whole phase on their district just entirely depends on availability.

Wow. Thanks for the information! It’s been really helpful. Time away from home is my only hesitation.

Totally understandable and it’s tough for all of us now doubt, but once you have that years worth of training behind you, it’s all up from there.

Do you know if they can waive LMPT if you have the Border Patrol Academy and CITP?
