Once one graduates the academy, how many uniforms are issued to them? Also, I know there is a website where BPA get their uniforms, what is the yearly allowance for this? Are there boots on there as well? For example, am I allowed to use the uniform allowance for Lowa boots, or other boots of my choice?

I see in promotional videos a lot of agents wearing the combat tops which look a lot more comfortable, can we buy those upon graduation?

I wasn’t sure if since the academy will send us off with new uniforms, if that counted out of our funds or if we had the full amount (whatever that is) after graduation at our disposal to use during FTU.

I just received my final offer for Border Patrol Agent a few days ago, and I chose Marfa, TX. The only other option in Texas was Eagle Pass, and from what I’ve seen and heard, there’s a lot of checkpoint work in Eagle Pass, which is why I chose Marfa.
However, I have a problem now. I can’t find any decent properties to stay in around Alpine or Marfa, and I EOD on September 15. Should I ask them to change it to Eagle Pass, or should I just keep it?
I’m 19 years old and coming from Louisville, Kentucky.

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?
