Got any clue how long it takes to train a Border Patrol agent? Or how long it takes for him or her to learn the real ropes on the job?

Got any clue why your rhetorical question is a nonsequitur to any point that I've made on this thread.

Of course it takes some time interval for the trainees to come up to speed.

Other Federal law enforcement agencies try to poach Border Patrol trainees. I respect the newbies down here on the border even when I'm trying to slap some common sense into them. They made it through the most rigorous training the Feddies have and make FBI agents look like wussies.

I have fallen madly in lust with one of the female agents down here. I would have to shed at least 20 years before she would give me her name and she can kick your ass and mine without breaking a sweat. And I managed to graduate from ROK Ranger School (yeah, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...)
