[QUOTE="Robin25689, post: 557213, member: 26013]DFD so that means that you are going to do EMD?

Yeah, but the next 3 academies are all EMD[/QUOTE]

Isn't the one in Feb 50/50 ? I heard in past academies they decided by the last 5 of your social

 

[lukgiel]

Thanks. WHEN you get the call, what date are you picking? She said its better to pick the 12th because it goes from EMT academy to EMD school to working. With the 24th its EMD school then EMT academy later.

Either the 12th, like you said or February

After talking with Peggy Quinn, EMD doesn't sound bad at all. Especially if your goals involve promoting to fire.

My list number was above 100 on list 3024.

I did not get numbers on how many would be in each class, but it is possible the first two classes of strictly EMD will be small classes.

What did she have to say about EMD? Im stuck in the middle between emt-EMD. So anything you know would help me out.

 

[lukgiel]

So I just called dcas, and it says I'm " not outstanding "

What is it for you guys ?

Did Peggy Quinn say anything about the next promo exam to firefight?

I called yesterday and it said not outstanding not sure what it was before they called me.

And bill will yeah she talked about it. She didn't say much other than it will be in 2017. Which for me outs me over the age cutoff

Did you take the open competitive last given? You can be 28 the day you take the test, and you can even be 30 when they call you, as long as you are under the cutoff age when you file for the test

You can always be a rescue medic if you don't make it to the next upgrade.
Sorry dude

DFD it could still be earlier... How sure was she? The filing period could be well before the promo exam.

Not sure how sure she was. Just hope they have the filing period before I hit 30

 

[DFD338]

Anyone that got the call today, did you ask the pay and shift hours? Totally too excited to ask

I'm sure all that will be talked about in the academy.
I'm sure the investigators don't know

 

[lukgiel]

How awesome is it to get a call right before new years? Haha

I'm still in disbelief that it happened! Haha. Hope you get called and pick jan 12 so I know at least a couple of people!

Hell yeah, my friend woke me up telling me he got a call, I was like no way haha, I can't wait to get mind, any day now

 

[DFD338]

Also IFR what academy did you pick?

 

[Ryan815]

I'm sure the next promo will be before 17... the current list expires mid 17..

 

[lukgiel]

Promos are given before the open competitive

 

[IFR]

As far as the promo goes, I would be really suprised if it wasn't offered before 2017. The current list will expire in June of 2017. From what I have heard, they try to always maintain a list they can draw from. I would expect the NOE and filling period in 2016 at the latest. Also, there has been rumors from multiple different sources indicating they could offer another promotional in 2015. This is all speculation and time will tell, don't get down yet though. There are two years, a lot can happen in two years.

I took the class on the 26th. I am coming from out of state, and the 12th was just wasn't realistic for me given the choice.
