Border Patrol Fitness Standards? Any current or former CBP Agents out there?
Hi. I just recently passed my pre-employment fitness test for CBP, but I had a question about the Physical Efficiency Battery one has to pass to graduate from the Border Patrol Academy.
I know that the PEB includes push-ups, sit-ups, the 1.5 mile run, and the confidence course, but does anyone know how these tests are scored? I've found score charts for all kinds of military and law enforcement fitness tests, but I can't find those for the Border Patrol PEB anywhere. I was wondering what the requirements are to pass, and what the standards are for the various available special assignments, like local SRTs, BORTAC, etc.
Anyone know where I can get this info?

The PEB is NOT averaged into your Academy score nor is it a pass or fail test. It is administered to gauge your level of fitness at the beginning and end of the program. You take it twice and hopefully improve the second time. The confidence course is not part of the PEB.
There are three parts to the PT final that you have to pass in order to graduate and keep your job. They are - and in this order with little rest in-between:
-1.5 mile in under 13 minutes.
-The Confidence Course in under 2.5 minutes,
-Sprint 2/3 of the track in under somewhere around 40 seconds. No one ever fails this part.
The PT final is administered toward the end of the academy but also at the midterm. You don't have to pass the midterm but it can be an insurance policy should you get injured at some point and be unable to do the final.
There is also a swimming portion you must pass. It involves doing a dead man's float for 20 minutes and climbing then free-falling from a very high rope ladder. Students with a fear of heights have struggled mightily with this. Not everyone passes.
Someone from BORTAC and SRT will explain their standards when you get to the academy, but you're a long way from there and the other special details my friend! Good luck with everything and feel free to e-mail me with any questions having anything to do with the Border Patrol.

At least this is a small shred of hope and positive news. The fact that these patriotic gentlemen, these AMERICAN CITIZENS, are in jail over shooting a Mexican drug dealer is one of the most despicable things I've ever seen. Did you know that man, the drug dealer, was caught trying to bring drugs back over the border a second time when we came back to testify against these Border Patrol agents? And still he remains free. I've heard a lot of stupid reasons for impeaching Bush from the hysterical shrieking democrats. Well, if he's complicit in the Mexican government influencing the prosecution of our citizens for simply enforcing the law, that to me is an act of betrayal against his country.

It would definitely decrease the waiting time at the Welfare Office. Unless of course you live in one of the sanctuary cities,then he would probably be forbidden from inquiring about their immigration status,just as the workers at the welfare office are. YTP
