Orthodox Jewish communities in southeast New Mexico?
Question:
I'm going to be going to Artesia, New Mexico sometime soon for job training. The problem is that I'm an orthodox Jew, and Artesia is in the middle of nowhere (when the nearest "major city" is Roswell, you know you're talking about a remote location). The nearest religious communities I've been able to find (by which I mean, Chabad outposts) are in like, Albuquerque, and El Paso, Texas. Both of these are like, four-hour drives from Artesia.
Are there any orthodox shuls (or Jewish communities at all), that are less than four hours from Artesia? Shabbos is going to be pretty rough, not having any other Jews within a 250 mile radius.
Any helpful suggestions out there? ("Stop keeping Shabbos" does not qualify as a helpful suggestion.) Thanks.
(PS: I realize there are probably better categories in which to place this question - but the browser on this computer is all screwy and won't let me choose differently - I'll probably re-ask later in a Judaism-related section.)
Steve: It's CBP now, but yeah, you nailed it. I think I've read about this congregation before. Not exactly what I'm looking for (not that I hate on non-orthodox Jews, just that Jewish law prohibits me from praying in a congregation with mixed seating, for example - plus Reform temples use a different liturgy). Still might look there for some form of support though. Thanks. (Funny you got it from the U of A website - that's my alma mater.)
Mark: Not a bad idea. I fear what the news will be, but I've gotta ask, right?
Gershon: Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself. I kept the mitzvos for a year in Turkey, but even Istanbul has a solid Jewish community, if a primarily non-observant one (and there IS a Chabad). In any event, I don't think we're supposed to make these tests for ourselves. G-d gives us all the difficulties we'll need, and the response from a lot of rabbonim to my situation (and past situatiosn I've found myself in) is "why would you go THERE?" - of course, it's for a career this time, but then the question becomes "what kind of nice Jewish boy goes into law enforcement? I mean law, sure, but law ENFORCEMENT? Feh!"
Answer:
Would this qualify? http://parentseyes.arizona.edu/bloom/carlsbad.htm
I know nothing about the Jewish religion (or very little) but I do know that Carlsbad is a very short drive from Artesia. It's only about 30 minutes on Hwy 285. I used to live in Carlsbad and have been through Artesia many times. There is nothing in Artesia except the Navajo Refinery and the US Immigration Training Center, so you must be going to work for INS.
Good luck!

what can i expect at the border patrol academy?
Question:
i leave in about a week for artesia, new mexico. i want to have an idea of what to be ready for.
Answer:
Expect a whole lot of physical training, plus firearms training and plenty of classroom instruction.
One of the best ways to prepare is to stop drinking soda immediately. If you don't do this now, you will experience caffiene withdrawal, making the training much more difficult.

Border patrol background investigator?
Question:
ok so my i had my interview with my investigator on 9/25/08. i want to know how long will it take before i get the call to go to the academy in artesia new mexico. im only 20 years old if that helps. i am anxious to know if anyone has the answer.
Answer:
I spoke with some of our background investigators on this issue the other day. Right now they are averaging about 5 months from initiation of the background investigation to a job offer.
However, that is only an average of all cases. Some take longer and a very few are shorter. Length of time will depend on number of localities in which you have lived, number of people they have to contact, how involved your criminal/educational/personal histories are, etcetera.
Don't be impatient. If you are qualified you will get here.

Answer:
Depends upon the needs of the service, how many people are on the adjudicator's desk, any issues with your background, openings where you are going to be assigned, etc.
My background from meeting with the investigator until hiring was 2 1/2 months, for a different agency in DHS.
