In most federal academies (ICE included), you will be issued a uniform. Suits are necessary only for certain training days.

Ok, so it's a uniform for the whole time then basically? When I was at FLETC for IOBTC, I thought I remembered seeing ICE 1811's in plain clothes, but I could have been creating a memory as it was so long ago.

Thanks!

In CITP you'll be issued 5.11 type BDU pants (blue) and blue (more like purple) polo shirts. Once you're in ICE-SAT, you'll continue to wear 5.11 (beige) cargo pants and a polo ICE shirt.

You'll wear your suit about 4-6 times while you're at FLETC. The first two days of CITP, during your interview training and during your court room training. And of course during your CITP and ICE-SAT graduation!!

Thanks for the specifics. Sounds like a pretty good get-up.

one last question, what are the guidelines for foot attire? IOBTC was black shoes with no colored stitching, so I had to magic marker-in the contrast stitching on my Doc Martins before I got down there.

Thanks again. . . and I honestly doubt that'll be my last question.

Way back when I was there, we wore fit shoes most of the time.

What's a "fit shoe" ? like a sneaker? :confused:

Im on the tail end of CITP right now for ICE. We are required to wear boots with our uniform at all times, no tennis shoes except for PT (this is what ICE wanted not FLETC). ICE will issue you a pair of boots during your orientation day or you may buy your own.

Maverick, being that you're in the midst of it what do you recommend, going with the issue or investing in your own?

Thanks again for the response.

The boots they issue are actually pretty decent. I however stuck with my trusty 3 year old, broken-in boots.

**YYZsurvivor** · 08-20-09 04:33 PM

CONGRATS DUDE!!!

I know how good that must feel. Keep plugging away and we'll be seeing that you got the call soon.

Keep the faith.

Just an FYI starting Oct 1st 2009, they are introducing a new curriculum to CITP and supposedly shortening the program. Several classes currently being taught are being eliminated. Also ICESAT is supposed to be cut by a few weeks as well. We are still waiting on official word on that.

**ifineed2** · 08-21-09 08:14 AM

Thanks all, hopefully it all goes well and I get a class
