    I honestly feel bad for you guys. I used to want to be a Border Patrol agent but after seeing the mental health studies on agents, and the fact that y’all are hated on for absolutely no damn reason really made me want to pursue something else. I don’t know. I’m still thinking of a career. (Border Patrol or police work in general is high on my list though)
    Anyways, thank you guys for your service. I am proud that the U.S. has a somewhat lawful border and awesome agents doing all they can to keep us safe even when no one sees them. Honor First.

      High suicide rates too. Can't imagine picking up dead kids that didn't make the journey

      @Eddman10 and @Mike_Herrera Our staff and Agents appreciate your understanding of the dangerous and trama filled situations their work demands daily.
      This includes sometimes being first responders and EMT’s, rescues in dangerous terrains, drug interceptions, human trafficking, smuggling, and other illegal activities.
      We do our best to budget for, and support our employees with our robust resiliency program.

      @WideOpenHunter Thank you for your service!
      You can find out more about our Veterans' Recruitment Appointment here:
      www.cbp.gov/careers/veterans/vra
      (VRA) is an excepted authority that allows eligible veterans who meet the basic qualifications for a position to be exempted from the traditional competitive hiring process and placed into an appointed hiring status, expediting the hiring process. In turn, we are able to maintain a workforce that is highly skilled and diverse.
      You are eligible for this appointing authority if you are a:
      • disabled veteran; or
      • veteran who served on active duty in the Armed Forces during a war, or in a campaign, or expedition, for which you received an authorized campaign or expedition badge or medal; or
      • veteran who, while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces, participated in a United States military operation for which you were awarded an Armed Forces Service Medal; or
      • veteran who has separated from active service within the last three years.

    Is it true that the polygraph fails around 60% of the appicants?

      @kellymacdonell4649 Thank you for your question!
      We reached out to our Office of Professional Responsibility and Credibility Assessment Division for your inquiry.
      Short answer is no, this is not true as the current polygraph failure rate is less than 50%. For more information on this you can research our Frequently Asked Questions page (www.cbp.gov/careers/car/poly) for additional information about the CBP polygraph exam.
