Border Patrol Stories

My Synopsis of the Patrol
I EOD'd 2005 in Douglas. I spent 10 1/2 years there. Had a lot of fun, a lot of character changing events. Worked with some of the best PA’s in the Patrol. Dealt with some scary shit, serious shit, funny shit, and a lot of bullshit!! I loved Douglas!!

It’s funny how in the patrol, you hear from other PA’s “Hey man, I spent time in Nogales, Sonoita, Jackman, Lourdsburg, Brownsville….or wherever,”  It sounds like you’ve been to prison. Seems like some of us have done our time, and some.

I was never in the military, and I feel that those men and women are extremely admirable for their service. I do feel too that Border Patrol Agents are quite admirable in our own sense. A Border Patrol Agent is a beast of it’s own. Every agent that stays with BP is a character. We feed on one another. Sometimes we see other agents more than our own families (i.e. carpooling, detailed, special ops). We do shift work, we do what needs to be done, under the circumstances, Northern or Southern Border.  No mater what administration, the United States has made us some tough M**** F***ers.

​Sitting at the border fence at our X in our trucks, waiting for shit to go down, the camera telling us of a drive-thru going off, intel, helping locals and local police, 911 calls with injured people (and children). There is no other Law Enforcement Agency or Office quite like the U.S. Border Patrol. If any other Law Enforcement Agency needs to utilize Drug Trafficking, Human Trafficking, Rescue, Urban domestic, or otherwise any other need….contact the U.S. Border Patrol….they do anyways.
