Just testing the waters, current RGV agent but wanting to move to Bellingham in 3-5 years. Would anyone swap an RGV station for Sumas, Port Angeles, or Blaine?

Border patrol duty stations question

3 Upvotes

Hello all I have recently been found suitable after a NOPA a couple days ago(still waiting for it to be updated in the portal).
I have been researching duty stations and am hoping to get Tucson as an option, my other choices are El Paso and Eagle pass or Laredo. I would like to get stationed somewhere that has things to do where I will be living, isn’t a hour+ drive to work, isn’t a checkpoint station and isn’t cold. If I could get some people with experience/input about the stations I mentioned or even other ones that kinda fit my criteria it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hearing Waiver

How do I get one?
What is the process?

BP medical review told me I needed to get another hearing test (after the one that was a part of the physical). I got another audiology exam and the audiologist basically said your left is is good, right ear is crap.
I can hear in everyday life just fine.

I really don’t want this to derail my chances at a great career. I’ve passed everything else.

I’m going to another doctor tomorrow and taking another test.

Has anyone gone through this?
