I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!

My EOD is next week. I am wondering if CBP provides shuttles from your hotel to yours meeting place? Also is there a packing list? And what is the attire for the first day? I have a phone number for my sector but no one is answering the phone.
