Morning everyone, For those waiting to find out the next academy start date, we had the Chief speaking to our TOP class yesterday and he mentioned July 13th as the next incoming group of candidates. Though I'm sure dates are subject to change this will give you a good idea as to the next TOP...

As per the first letter you received "Casual, neat attire is acceptable"

So first, when I received the call the BI asked me 3 questions, had I moved, did I get any summons, and did my employment change at all since the last time I spoke with my BI. I do not know if you were asked the same questions but if you were then you lied right there to that BI (employment to...

Oh and I should have stated that I am in the morning class.

I have a question for the people who are starting on the 21st at Fort Totten, who lives in Brooklyn, who is driving from Brooklyn and who is willing to car pool. As of right now my travel time via MTA will be about 3 hours each way. Any help would be appreciated. You can PM if you want instead...

Well, I wonder if they went back to the normal class size of 45 per class, so only a total of 90 slots are open? The last class that went in was 60 per class with a total of 120 open slots.

I have heard unconfirmed stories of candidates not being called for a current academy class and having to wait till the following class because their BI was on vacation. You both appear to have the same BI and lower list numbers than I do. This might be the case then. There is no number you can...

Yes, I am on exam 4004 and my list number is 800

Eight Hundred.

Ha! Just got the call right after I posted my last comment. Congrats to all that got called and good luck to everyone else.

Getting close to me, I am #800. My phone and I glued together.

Well if that is the case then some people in the low 1,000s might be called. Of course this is all dependant on the academy class size being 120, how many candidates have complete files ready to be called and how many people accept the offer and do not differ.

If I remember correctly they broke into the low 600s when calling for the last academy. They might get as high as the 900s to fill this class if they continue with the 120 candidates per academy.

Don't sleep on that. If you having thing that is not up to date then FDNY will hold you over for the academy till whatever doc/cert is current and valid. Good luck. Oh and as an edit, if it expires during the time you would be in the academy, not just before, they will also hold you over till...

So I posted yesterday about how I was basically trolled by a spanish telemarketer. TL DR : I saw an unknown NY number on my phone and thought it could be FDNY, but nope. Well today I did get a call from FDNY and I just happened to be using the calculator app on my phone and as the call popped...
