You do this by going to USAJOBS. Gov. There theyll have the application if theyre currently hiring. Once you fill it out you should receive a test dates within days. If you pass that test then you will have the oral exam show up in a suit and tie for fucks sake and other exams, from the physical fitness test super easy to a health examination and background investigation which takes the longest. Eventually if you make it past all that you will have to do a polygraph good luck. Once youve made it through the process youll have to get through the Para.

Without giving away too much information, it covers anything within the realm of immigration and illegal drug education as well as Basic Law Enforcement training and driving. If you dont speak Spanish well enough to pass a verbal phone test you will have to stay for another few weeks to learn what I call Working Spanish, which is just enough to sound like an idiot in front of your Spanish speaking partners.

This will last up to a year. After two years of being an Agent you will then have the opportunity to try out for other teams. Ill talk about two of those teams, BORTAC and BORSTAR. Theres been a rumor that I was a BORTAC Agent. Thats false. I was a BORSTAR Agent attached to BORTAC. I was fortunate enough to be on a team that respected my previous training from the military and was basically pulled in to the team as a medic but was treated as a operator with medical training. This isnt always the case with other teams. BORSTAR Selection is about 3. I wont talk about what the selection process is all about since Im one of the people who helped shape the course into what it is today, but I can tell you its no walk in the park. I believe it is a very respectable challenge for any level of physical and mentally strong individual. A BORSTAR Agent can have a similar mission to an Air Force PJ. On the 51st day of the standoff, with fatigue and stress beginning to take its toll on the team, the HRT used two modified National Guard Combat Engineering Vehicles. Home Categories.

Either way be ready for a challenge you didnt expect to see in the civilian world. Once you have joined the teams BORSTARs agents receive additional advanced specialized training in emergency medical, tactical medicine, technical rope rescue, paramedic, austere medic, load planner, helicopter rope suspension training, rescue watercraftboat operator, cold weather operations, personnel recovery, small unit tactics, tactical combat casualty care, operations management and planning, and advanced dive, swift water, and technical rope rescue operations. BORTACs agents acquire additional skill sets in high risk warrant service, intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance, foreign law enforcementBorder Patrol capacity building, airmobile operations, maritime operations, and precision marksmanobserver. Having a career in the Border Patrol was one of the best decisions I ever made. If youre looking to be a part of the federal system, have the ability to be in the field and be an independent worker this is a career for you. If you want to work hard there is plenty of work out there to find. The pay is comfortable and the action can be frequent. If you join one of the Special Operations teams, life in the Patrol can have more benefits. I was living the dream being a medic for my BORTAC team. BORTAC was in my opinion one of the most talented and experienced teams out there. Hopefully Ive answered all your questions.
